Description
The evolution of the world's most versatile format converter
The Appsys ProAudio Multiverter MVR mkII is designed to meet all of your digital audio conversion needs!
Now into its second generation, this unique piece of hardware is able to convert between many different digital audio interfaces and formats - any to any, all at once.
The Multiverter mkII is packed with features like channel-wise-routing, web interface, sample rate conversion, headamp remote control and much more.
And if you're an MVR-64 (old model) user: All firmware features of the new model will also be back-ported as long as the hardware allows it!

What the Multiverter can do for you:
- Interface your recording gear to any signal source
- Make your production truck or OB van compatible to any incoming signal and clock
- Sample-rate convert between any interfaces using the SRC-64 plugin module
- Dante < > Dante bridging of different networks with optional sample rate conversion (up to 64ch 96k <> 48k bidirectional*)
- Use your ethernet port as recording interface with the Dante® Virtual Soundcard technology
- Record from any source, and directly from MIDAS®/Behringer® stageboxes with remote headamp control
- Bring your legacy gear up to date
- ...and anything else you can imagine!
* Additional FLX-DANTE / AUX-DANTE required
Key features
- 704x704 channels routing matrix with channel-wise routing/splitting between interfaces

Optional: Add Sample Rate Conversion to your Multiverter with the Appsys ProAudio SRC-64 Card
The Appsys ProAudio SRC-64 add-on module adds the capability of asynchronous sample rate conversion to your Appsys Multiverter.
Designed as an internal add-on module, it leaves the "Extension" port available for the Flexiverter break-out boxes.

Latency | The table below shows the overall latency
(receive+convert+transmit) between the various interfaces in number
of samples. For x1 modes (32/44.1/48kHz), n is 1. For x2 modes (64/88.2/96kHz), n is 2. For x4 modes (128/176.4/192kHz), n is 4. The Dante latency d depends on the setting in the Dante controller which should be chosen according to the network topology, and can range from 150µs to 5ms.
