Installing additional Horus MADI Extension Module (MADM or MADS)
Before you get started
- Place your Horus unit on a hard and dry surface or mount it onto 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 Horus unit, you must use correctly
shielded cables of good quality for all external connections when installing the Horus 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.
