Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
DN32-MADI adds 32 channels of AES10-compliant MADI input and output to a Behringer X32 or Midas M32, operating at 24-bit/48 kHz. Optical and coaxial ports make it possible to link MADI equipment using the connection type and cable distance your system calls for. With both links connected, the coaxial port takes over if the optical link fails. It also carries clocking between devices, so the mixer can serve as part of a synchronized MADI network.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live sound, broadcast, studio, or installed systems linking an X32 or M32 to MADI equipment.
- Long optical MADI runs between distant equipment in a venue or permanent installation.
- Recording 32 console channels while returning 32 playback streams for virtual soundchecks.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Mixers other than Behringer X32 and Midas M32, which are the consoles identified for this module.
- Systems without an open expansion-card slot in the compatible mixer.
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
24-bit / 48 kHz
The module integrates with the console at this stated resolution.
Detail 03
Optical MADI distance
Optical cable runs reach up to 500 m, with up to 2 km specified when using multimode fiber.
Detail 04
Coaxial BNC distance
Coaxial MADI is specified for shorter runs up to 100 m.
Detail 05
Optical/coaxial redundancy
When both are connected, coaxial automatically assumes operation if the optical link fails.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01An open expansion-card slot is required in the compatible X32 or M32 mixer.
- 02For runs beyond 500 m, the stated 2 km optical distance requires multimode fiber.
- 03Use both optical and coaxial connections if you need the described automatic fallback.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which mixers accept the DN32-MADI?
It installs in an open expansion-card slot on Behringer X32 or Midas M32 digital mixers.
02Does it pass clock as well as audio?
Yes. Its inputs can provide master clock to the mixer, and its outputs transmit the console clock downstream.
03What happens to unused MADI inputs?
Unused MADI inputs pass through to the output, maintaining connectivity with other devices.
