Default MTRX Studio and AES??

Hello! How are owners who need to incorporate AES outboard gear with their MTRX Studio accomplishing this? Adat to AES converters I assume. If so which products are you using successfully? Thanks in advance!!

You can also use Dante to AES. There are more channels available on Dante than on ADAT, which is handy if you have a lot of AES gear.

There are Dante converters that will do just one AES to Dante and others that will do e.g. 8 AES to Dante. Just be aware that many of the single AES to Dante converters use SRC which can not always be disabled.

I find this a weird oversight on the MTRX Studio, not having a 2-channel digital connection , being it spdif or AES, next to the adat ports (which cannot be switched from adat to optical spdif)

DSP speakers systems are in a lot of studios nowadays and it's best to feed them digitally. Of course you could add it with DANTE, but then your default monitor path will always have a little more latency than it would have had when the connection was just present on the interface.

And, most important, you need a POE switch or a POE power injector (if not using with a switch with POE ability or if using direct.) It won't run without power.

Love to see what DAD is doing with their interfaces. And actually a little pitty that the AVID branded OEM products by DAD slowly begin to live in the past regarding connectivity.

That box is going to cost you US$4k and the AES Card is going to cost you $1900. And they won't be available until near the end of the year.

And you'll still be short 16 AD inputs and 14 DA outputs compared to the MTRX Studio. If you don't need Thunderbolt versatility or Dante/digital input/out high counts and you do use PT HDn/HDX, the MTRX Studio is a better buy. (In the AX Center box, you can't get to the DA/AD count found in the MTRX Studio. The Studio maxes out at 20 ADC and 22 DAC. The AX Center has 2 ADC and 8 DAC on the box and then you can only get 16 more channels if you used both slots for analog. And that's at a much higher price)
