Description
Optocore M12 MADI Router/Switch
The Optocore M12 is a standalone optical MADI switch designed for professional audio routing and networking.
It features eight optical duplex MADI ports delivering 512 input and 512 output digital audio channels, making it ideal for large-scale audio systems. Equipped with a single-channel router, the M12 enables flexible routing between any MADI streams within the device or across remote systems. Two SANE ports support up to 256 audio channels via standard CAT5 cable, while dual LAN interfaces handle Ethernet data switching.
This makes the M12 perfect as a central hub for digital consoles, DAWs, playback devices, and broadcast equipment.
The M12 functions as both a powerful standalone MADI router and a multi-channel interface for Optocore fiber ring networks, offering the cost-effective channel density and individual routing capabilities professional audio installations demand.
The Optocore M12 MADI Router/Switch is available with eight optical ports, eight coaxial ports, or a combination of four optical and four coaxial ports.
