Hapi User Manual
Installing a Hapi MADI Module (MADM or MADS are optional)
Before you get started
- Place the Hapi unit on a hard and dry surface or mount it into a 19” rack and leave plenty of
room for air convection.
- In order to meet the EMC requirements of directives 89/336/EEC and 93/68/EEC, and in order
to obtain the high performance possible for the Hapi unit, you must use correctly shielded
cables of good quality for all external connections when installing the Hapi unit. For the power
connection, a normal unshielded power cable with a proper ground can be used.
- Make sure that your sound system is at a safe volume level
- Only one MADI module card can be fitted per Hapi
