The Multichannel Audio Digital Interface (MADI) is a digital audio interface used for transmitting multiple channels of audio data over a single cable. It supports up to 64 channels of uncompressed audio, making it ideal for professional audio applications such as live sound, broadcasting, and recording studios. MADI can transmit audio signals over coaxial or optical fiber cables, providing flexibility in setup and distance. MADI is commonly used in conjunction with various audio equipment, including digital mixing consoles and audio interfaces. Its ability to carry multiple audio channels simultaneously simplifies connections and reduces cable clutter, enhancing overall workflow in complex audio environments.
