CHAPTER 1: Overview

Introduction

The ANDIAMO.AES is a 64-channel AES3/MADI interface with a built-in routing

matrix. It provides two MADI inputs and outputs, 32 AES3 inputs and outputs for

bi-directional conversion of 64 audio-channels between AES3 and MADI.

With two RU height and two redundant power supplies the device offers best and

safe audio quality at a minimal need of rackspace.

The ﬁrst 16 AES inputs of the SRC version are equipped with sample rate

converters - switchable in groups of eight channels to handle asynchronous

signals.

CHAPTER 2: Legal issues & facts

Before Installing This Device

WARNING!

Please read and observe all of the following notes before installing

this product:

• Check the hardware device for transport damage.

• Any devices showing signs of mechanical damage or damage from the

spillage of liquids must not be connected to the mains supply, or

disconnected from the mains immediately by pulling out the power lead.

• All devices must be grounded. The device is grounded through its

IEC power connections.

• All devices must be connected to the mains using the three-cord power

leads supplied with the system. Only supply electrical interfaces with the

voltages and signals described in these instructions.

• Do not use the device at extreme temperatures. Proper operation can

only be guaranteed between temperatures of 5ºC and 45ºC and a

maximum relative humidity of 80%, non-condensing.

• The cabinet of the device will heat up. Do not place the device close

to heating sources (e.g. heaters). Observe the environmental conditions.

Defective Parts/Modules

WARNING!

This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Therefore do not open the device.

In the event of a hardware defect, please send the device to your DirectOut

representative together with a detailed description of the fault.

We would like to remind you to please check carefully whether the failure is

caused by erroneous conﬁguration, operation or connection before sending parts

for repair.

CHAPTER 2: Legal issues & facts

First Aid (in case of electric shock)

WARNING!

• Do not touch the person or his/her clothing before power is turned off,

otherwise you risk sustaining an electric shock yourself.

• Separate the person as quickly as possible from the electric power source

as follows:

- Switch off the equipment.

- Unplug or disconnect the mains cable.

• Move the person away from the power source by using dry insulating

material (such as wood or plastic).

• If the person is unconscious:

- Check their pulse and reanimate if their respiration is poor.

- Lay the body down and turn it to one side. Call for a doctor immediately.

• Having sustained an electric shock, always consult a doctor.
