CHAPTER 1: Overview

Introduction

MI6 is DirectOut’s monitoring device for signal control in MADI environments. MI6

provides three MADI inputs and outputs, an analog stereo line out and an AES I/O.

Up to 8 stereo or 16 mono channels can be summed with individual levels onto a

main mix. The main mix is output by the integrated speakers and the other outputs.

Feature Summary

MADI Ports 1 x SC multi-mode connectors

1 x SFP (empty cage without module)

1 x coaxial BNC connectors with PFT technology

(power fail through)

MADI Formats 56/64 channel, 48k/96k Frame

Sample Rates 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96 kHz +/-12.5%

AES Port 1 x AES3 I/O (DSUB-9)

Line Output 1 x stereo, balanced, +24 dBu (DSUB-9)

Speaker 2 x speakers

Headphone Output 6.3 mm TRS jack, stereo, +18 dBu

USB Port USB 2.0 port for ﬁrmware updates

Power Supply This device is equipped with one wide range power

supply (84 V to 264 V AC / 47 Hz to 63 Hz / safety

class 1).

How it works

A bank of 16 audio channels is selected from the MADI input signal. Each of the

16 audio channels is added to the mix bus with variable volume control and mute

function. The monitoring can be either ‘STEREO’ (odd channels to left side / even

channels to right side) or ‘MONO’ (all channels to both sides). Mutes are stored

separately with each input bank, i. e. there are 64 independent mutes.

An ‘ISOLATE’ function mutes all 16 channels for soloing single or several channels.

The speakers can be muted individually from the other outputs (‘SPEAKER OFF’).
