Wohler Rolls Out New MADI Audio Monitor
Story Highlights
Wohler is attempting to re-invent in-rack MADI monitoring and mixing with the new AMP1-MADIe, specifically designed for fast-paced OB and live-to-air production environments. The MADIe provides simultaneous clear metering and monitoring with instant access to eight stored configurations of any user-defined channel groups (8 each) for easy navigation between all 64 channels in a MADI stream.
In addition to providing the unique functionality of a MADI audio “hot mic” mixer, Wohler’s new AMP1-MADIe supports fast configuration and use of multiple distributed units within a MADI network via an Ethernet connection with a free, downloadable software GUI; so multiple units can be controlled and configured from a single PC workstation. An added benefit of the AMP1-MADIe is its ability to convert between optical and BNC I/O connections.It’s the perfect solution for any application that requires a simple, compact system for monitoring MADI-delivered audio.
