LEGACY EVOLVED!ANDIAMO is a powerful, high-end AD/DA converter offering simultaneous conversion of 32 audio channels from analog to digital and vice-versa and sharing the extremely high sonic quality with the PRODIGY Series. The third generation of ANDIAMO takes the features that made the product famous worldwide and expands them to reach a new level.
Housed in an elegant, space-saving 1U 19” casing, it allows conversion to and from MADI via two SFP ports, while the optional network audio cards support RAVENNA/AES67, Dante or SoundGrid, bringing the total channel count of the device up to 288 inputs and outputs.
ManagementANDIAMO can be managed remotely via globcon remote software using the dedicated ethernet port placed in the back of the unit. Basic functions are quickly accessible via two function buttons on the front panel.
Remote control via globcon (Windows® / macOS®) offers access to the following features:
Signal routing on a per-channel basis
8 Summing Busses
Level control for input and output channels (gain and level trim)
Redundancy management (EARS™)
Quick OverviewThe front panel provides status LEDs for real-time monitoring of signal condition for all analog input and output channels.
ClockingSelectable clock sources are word clock, MADI input, network audio or the internal clock. The current system clock is provided at the word clock output at any time.
Redundancy & Safe operationTwo MADI ports offer seamless port redundancy and switchover.
Two audio network ports are connected to independent NICs and can be configured to offer network redundancy
– ST 2022-7 (RAVENNA) or Primary/Secondary (Dante).
EARS™ (Enhanced Automatic Redundancy Switching™) is also available on all digital inputs. It is a unique technology to prevent interruption of the output signal.
EARS™ uses either the proven BLDS™ technology or pilot tone triggering. A logic monitors the condition of the trigger signal on the selected digital input. In case of a failure it switches automatically to the backup input (MADI or audio network).
Thanks to two phase-redundant power supplies with separate IEC inlets and AC power switches on the rear panel the device offers the highest reliability.
ANNA-LISA (`Analyser') is a battery powered, mobile MADI signal analyser and generator. Analysis results are displayed on the device itself via easy readable `traffic light' LEDs, detailed information can be read out with a remote software that connects via Bluetooth®.
GeneratorStandard MADI streams can be configured on the device itself. Three presets store detailed settings for signal sources (white/pink noise, sine waves, routing of incoming channels), gains and MADI settings.

Sample Rate
Conformity with AES10 specification
Signal Amplitude

MA2CHBOX.XL is a reference class headphone amplifier for MADI (AES10) and AES3 signals. The device features three MADI ports, an AES3 port, a headphones output and a stereo line level output.
Any stereo pair or single mono channel out of three MADI streams or the AES input can be routed independently to either headphones, AES output or line out. The AES input signal may also be embedded into the MADI stream.
All-Round
MA2CHBOX.XL offers highest flexibility for MADI monitoring and line checking as it provides three interface standards for MADI:
optical SC (single-mode or multi-mode)
coaxial (BNC)
SFP
The Small Form Factor Pluggable cage can be fitted with any SFP module suitable for the customer’s application. A port routing offers independent output feeds for each MADI output.
Remote Control
The integral USB port allows for firmware updates, serial data embedding and remote control for extended features, e.g. an internal routing matrix. A channel based routing can be defined through a remote control software and stored inside the device.
External Monitors
The MADI signal from the mixing desk is fed to MADI 1. The selected channel pair is output at the stereo line out / AES3 port feeding (analog or digital) studio monitors. A laptop is connected at MADI 2 out for recording. MADI 3 could additionally be used to monitor another input signal or for output of the mixer signal.
Digital audio workstations as well as lighting and show control software make use of MTC midi timecode for synchronisation. The new mif4 provides professional interfacing to standard LTC (SMPTE) timecode. Rosendahl sync algorithms suppress timecode jitter and drop outs.
