M.1k2 Hardware & Installation Guide - Version 1.1

CHAPTER 1: Overview

Introduction

The M.1k2 is a 16 port MADI router. It provides routing of whole ports

down to single channel level offering a 1024 by 1024 crosspoint ma-

trix.

You can distribute MADI signals en bloc in a port matrix and you

may also create your own MADI stream using the channel matrix.

PolySync™ provides the ability to use different clock sources on in-

dividual ports. So the router may be divided into single ‘clock groups’

that can run at different sample rates.

Port redundancy may be applied to have a spare signal that will be

used when an input signal breaks. Two extra matrices may route

serial data and MIDI data - that is embedded into the MADI signal -

independently from the audio signal.
