Solid State Logic Alpha-Link MADI AX

The Alpha-Link MADI AX is a 2U 24-bit, standalone, digital audio converter with 64 channels of MADI optical connection at 48kHz (32 channels when used at 96kHz),with 24 channels of analogue-to-digital conversion and 24 channels of ADAT I/O.

The MADI connections on the Alpha-Link AX not only allow you to connect to other SSL equipment, they can integrate with any other MADI based systems. Since it is a standalone device, the Alpha-Link AX is designed to be compatible with almost any DAW.
The front panel controls are clear and well laid-out and give easy conversion between formats. Unlike similar units, the Alpha-Link MADI also allows you to access all digital and analogue I/Os simultaneously – a very useful feature that means you don’t have to disable one, to check the other, thus achieving maximum flexibility.
The MADI AX also has Word Clock I/O, letting you sync to video, as well as allowing the AX to be the master clock for a number of other devices.
Equipped with MIDI I/O, the SSL Alpha-Link MADI AX also has a TDM multipin port on the back and a front-panel headphone jack socket.
