It's the variant of choice for systems where distance between devices or galvanic isolation matters more than the simplicity of copper cabling.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLong-Distance Fiber Runs Without Losing Sync\u003c\/h3\u003e\nMADI over copper has a practical cable-length limit, which complicates work in large facilities where a digital console and a converter rack sit in different rooms. Fiber removes that constraint, carrying 128 channels of I\/O over much longer distances without signal degradation and without the susceptibility to electromagnetic interference typical of long copper runs in installations with heavy mains-powered equipment.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGalvanic Isolation Between Digital Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e\nConnecting separate digital systems — a 3d unit and an external console or a third-party rack, for example — over a copper link carries a risk of ground loops and interference passing between devices powered from different circuits. An optical connection is inherently galvanically isolated, so the two systems communicate without direct electrical contact, which matters when integrating with studio installations or live sound systems with a complex power topology.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 independent optical MADI ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e128 audio channels of I\/O total\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanic isolation via fiber-optic transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTool-free installation into the EdgeBus slot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull access to the unit's audio clocks and power rails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel number: 000-50034\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMADI port count: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio channel I\/O: 128 (128 in \/ 128 out)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransmission medium: optical fiber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: all 3d Core-based units (ULN-8, LIO-8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgrade type: field-swappable EdgeBus card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Metric Halo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54336243237201,"sku":"42663","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/MetricHaloMHEdgeCard-MADI_2xOptical.jpg?v=1784569360","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de-fr\/products\/metric-halo-mh-edgecard-madi-2x-optical","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
