Si Series/Si Compact Option Cards
Expansion Options
By adding option cards to the
Soundcraft Si range of digital
consoles, you can interface your desk
with a multitude of digital systems.
The Si range of consoles features a
versatile 128 channel expansion bus
offering 64 discrete additional input
sources and 64 additional output
patches that may be used in parallel
to fan-out to multiple destinations.
Routing from the cards to the
processing channels and from
channels or buses to the option card
buses is achieved via the ‘Patching’
functionality.
The number of option cards that may
be fitted varies by product model, as
follows:

MADI
The MADI I/O card can establish a 64-channel MADI input and
output to a remote device such as stage rack, another console
or Broadcast feed to an OB.
Optical inputs and outputs are provided on SC connectors
available in
multi-mode versions only. The auxiliary interface can be
used as a redundant link. A Cat5 version of the card is also
available. A toggle switch allows the card to be switched from
64ch to 56ch mode for compatibility with older MADI devices.
AVIOM A-NET® 16
This card allows the desk to
digitally feed an Aviom A-Net
Pro-16 chain. With this standard,
16 mono signals can be fed to any
number of Aviom personal mixers
(such as the A-16 II), connected in
a daisy chain configuration. The
®
A-Net
card will be the start of
the chain and provide the audio
and synchronization data to the
chain. DIP switches on the front
panel allow grouping two adjacent
channels to one stereo channel,
and generating a test tone.
®
CobraNet
This card allows sending and
receiving of up to 32 audio
channels to/from
a CobraNet
switches on the card allow setting
the number of input or output
channels seen by the console.
Default setting is 32 output and
no input channels. By default,
the module is configured to be
the conductor (synchronization
master) and can be configured
using the free CobraNet Discovery
application to match your
requirements.
