What is the Appsys ProAudio MVR-64 MKII?
A: The Appsys ProAudio MVR-64 MKII is a 64x64-channel digital multi-format audio converter designed to convert between multiple digital audio interfaces and formats. It can interface recording equipment with different signal sources and route audio between supported interfaces.
The MKII version adds channel-wise routing, a web interface, sample-rate conversion, remote headamp control, an integrated headphone amplifier, and flexible network connectivity. The unit is designed for professional recording, broadcast, production, and live-sound environments.
What does the MVR-64 MKII mean by multi-format conversion?
A: The MVR-64 MKII can convert audio between multiple digital interface formats rather than being limited to one connection standard. The platform supports AES3, ADAT, MADI, AES50, Dante/AES67, FlexLink, and other supported connections.
This allows equipment using different digital audio standards to work together through a single conversion platform. It can help integrate newer networked audio equipment with legacy digital interfaces without requiring separate converters for every connection type.
How many channels can the MVR-64 MKII route?
A: The MVR-64 MKII provides a 704x704-channel routing matrix in x1 modes, with 352x352 channels in x2 modes and 176x176 channels in x4 modes. All inputs and outputs can be used simultaneously according to the supported operating mode.
The routing architecture provides channel-wise routing and splitting between interfaces. Individual channels can be assigned to different destinations while multiple interface types operate together.
What sample rates does the MVR-64 MKII support?
A: The MVR-64 MKII supports 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, and 192 kHz sample rates with ±100 ppm accuracy. It can operate across common professional digital-audio sample-rate environments.
With the optional SRC-64 plug-in module, the system provides bidirectional sample-rate conversion of up to 128 channels. It also supports Dante-to-Dante bridging with optional sample-rate conversion, including up to 64 channels bidirectionally between 96 and 48 kHz.
What is the MVR-64 MKII routing and splitting capability?
A: The MVR-64 MKII provides channel-wise routing and splitting through its large internal routing matrix. Individual channels can be directed between supported interfaces rather than forcing an entire interface to follow a single fixed route.
This makes the unit useful for complex production systems where audio from one format must be distributed to several destinations or selected channels must move between different digital formats. Routing can be managed remotely through web-based control.
What MADI connections are available?
A: The MVR-64 MKII provides two MADI SFP ports and one MADI BNC port. The SFP interfaces use 100 Mbit SFP modules with LC connectors and support multimode fiber, while the BNC connection uses AES10 coaxial MADI.
The MADI SFP ports support up to 64 channels at 44.1/48 kHz, 32 channels at 88.2/96 kHz, and 16 channels at 176.4/192 kHz. The BNC MADI connection supports up to 100 meters of 75-ohm coaxial cable with the same channel-rate relationship.
How does the MVR-64 MKII support Dante and AES67?
A: The unit provides two Gigabit Ethernet ports for Dante/AES67 connectivity. The Dante interface can be configured as a switch or as a redundant connection through Dante Controller.
The Dante/AES67 interface supports 64 channels at 44.1/48 kHz, 32 channels at 88.2/96 kHz, and 16 channels at 176.4/192 kHz. The hardware is prepared for future 128-channel operation at 48 kHz when the required firmware support becomes available.
What other digital audio interfaces are supported?
A: The MVR-64 MKII includes AES3, ADAT, AES50, MADI, Dante/AES67, FlexLink, wordclock, MIDI, and other control connections. Its ADAT ports can also operate in AES3 or SPDIF modes according to the documented configuration.
The AES3 section provides 16x16 channels through two DB25 connectors, while the ADAT section provides 32x32 channels through four input and four output ports. AES50/MADI-TP ports provide additional connectivity for compatible digital consoles and stage equipment.
Can the MVR-64 MKII remotely control stagebox headamps?
A: Yes. The MVR-64 MKII provides remote headamp control for compatible MIDAS and Behringer stageboxes. The product also lists Yamaha AD8HR-compatible RS485 connectivity for compatible control applications.
This allows the converter to serve as more than a signal-format bridge. It can participate in system-level control workflows where remote adjustment of compatible stagebox preamp functions is required.
How can the MVR-64 MKII be controlled and monitored?
A: The MVR-64 MKII is fully remote-controllable through its web interface, Web-over-USB, and command-line interfaces such as Telnet/UART. The USB 2.0 interface can be used for remote control through a web browser or command line and for firmware updates.
The unit also includes an integrated headphone amplifier for monitoring incoming signals. The headphone output is rated at 2 x 125 mW into 32 ohms at 0.01% THD+N, with a bandwidth of 22 Hz to 22 kHz.
