Delivery Notifications

You will receive an email to the address you have supplied to us when your order has been dispatched.

Delivery Methods and Timescales

The delivery time scale is specified on the product page to indicate when you should expect to receive your order. If all item(s) are in stock and your order was placed before 2pm, subject to passing necessary checks, your order will be shipped the same day. Orders received just after 2pm are also often dispatched the same day, but this cannot be guaranteed.

 

Delivery Options

*Only available on orders with a value of less than £50

Courier – Next Working Day Service

  • Price = Free (Orders of £50+) / £9.95 (Orders of less than £50)
  • Delivery Time – Next working day from date of dispatch (see above)

Courier – Pre-noon, Next Working Day Service

  • Price = £9.95 (Orders of £50+) / £19.95 (Orders of less than £50)
  • Delivery Time – Next working day from date of dispatch (see above). 

Courier – Saturday Delivery Service

  • Price = £19.95
  • Delivery Time – The first Saturday following date of dispatch (see above). Note that for guaranteed Saturday delivery, orders must be placed before 2pm on the Friday. Orders placed after 2pm may still arrive on Saturday, but this cannot be guaranteed.

Due to the nature of the products we sell, we operate a strict fraud screening process and therefore we are only able to deliver to the billing address.

In the event of a delay, we will contact you either by email or telephone as soon as reasonably possible.

While 99% of UK locations are valid for next day/Saturday delivery, there are a few remote locations which are not covered.

Synthax Audio (UK) cannot deliver outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland*.

*RME products cannot be shipped to the Republic of Ireland.

 

Missed Deliveries

If you are not in to receive the order at the time delivery is attempted, a card will normally be left to notify you of the missed delivery attempt. This will allow you to either telephone the courier company to arrange a re-delivery at a more convenient time or collect it from your local courier depot or Royal Mail sorting office. For security reasons, all items require a signature.

If for any reason the item is returned to us (e.g. incorrect address specified, multiple failed delivery attempts), then we will inform you immediately by email as soon as we receive the item. From this point forth, you will be given a choice whether you wish us to re-dispatch the item or cancel the order. Please refer to our Cancellations & 14 Day Returns Procedure for more details. For items where delivery failed through no fault of Synthax Audio (UK), you will be liable for the original shipping charge, any courier surcharges and any subsequent delivery charges.

 

Late Deliveries or Dispatch

We are able to ship almost every order in the specified timescale. However, in very rare circumstances there can be an unforeseen delay. If this does happen, we will make it our priority to get your order dispatched from our warehouse as soon as reasonably possible.

There are also rare cases, beyond our control, when the delivery company itself has a problem which causes a delay in transit. In these situations we will do our utmost to liaise with the relevant delivery company to ensure delivery is completed as swiftly as possible.

Consequential Loss for Late Deliveries

If a delivery is late, then we will provide a refund of any delivery fee that we charged you. We do not provide financial compensation to cover consequential losses, e.g. for time taken off work to receive a delivery, or if the item is intended as a gift and you have to purchase the same item from a more expensive retailer.

Bidirectional 64-Ch 192 kHz MADI
<> AES/EBU Format Converter

Please note: The BNC variant (ADI-6432-R-BNC) has now been discontinued.

  •  1 x MADI I/O (optical and coaxial)
  •  32 x AES/EBU I/O (2 x 4 SUB-D)
  •  1 x MIDI I/O
  •  Com-Port I/O (RS-232)
  •  Word Clock I/O
  •  Variants available with redundant power supplies (ADI-6432-R) and redundant power supplies plus AES3id BNC connections (ADI-6432-R-BNC)


Description

Overview

RMEs ADI-6432 offers 64 channels of format conversion from MADI to AES and vice versa. Typical applications include two ADI-6432 used as digital multicore, or one unit used as AES/EBU frontend for the Hammerfall DSP MADI PCI card. Up to 192 kHz at 24-Bit are supported. Built with 2 units height there is enough space for all connectors and control elements. Of course the unit includes lots of typical RME-features:

  • Support for up to 192 kHz with MADI and AES
  • Unique status displays for MADI and AES
  • SteadyClock for maximum jitter reduction and clock regeneration
  • Completely remote controlable via MIDI
  • Transfer of MIDI data via MADI
  • Transfer of RS232 data via MADI

The compact unit with 19" width and 2 unit height serves as format converter MADI to/from AES (schematic view). MADI handles 64 channels of 24-Bit audio at sampling frequencies up to 48 kHz, 32 channels up to 96 kHz, and 16 channels up to 192 kHz. All channels are transferred across a single cable, either coaxial (BNC) or optical network cable. In both cases, cable lengths of more than 100 meters can be achieved. The AES/EBU channels are provided as 32 AES/EBU inputs and outputs via D-sub connectors. The ADI-6432 accepts 56 channels and 64 channels as well as 96k frame at its input, and can be set to generate those formats at its output.

ADI-6432R: The RME ADI-6432 R is identical to the ADI-6432, but can be connected to two different electrical circuits. If one of these circuits fails, the ADI-6432 R will continue to operate without interruption.

Features

RME's SteadyClock(TM) lets the ADI-6432 use MADI without an additional word clock connection, and guarantees excellent clock quality in every situation. Due to the highly efficient jitter reduction, any clock signal - even AES and word clock - can be improved and refreshed, and subsequently be used as reference clock at the word clock output. Intelligent Clock Control (ICC) will retain the last valid sample frequency in case of a loss of the input signal.

The ADI-6432 supplies word clock in Single, Double und Quad Speed, distributes Double Wire 96 kHz signals into the MADI data stream, and even supports the double MADI sample rate (96K frame). The SyncAlign® and SyncCheck® technologies known from other RME products ensure perfect synchronization and clear detection of errors. Also multiple units can be stacked and operated sample-aligned, using word clock. All settings are stored when the unit is switched off.

RME MADI System Setups

A fully automatic input selection between optical and coaxial input offers a useful redundancy mode for critical applications. Extensive status displays give information about lock and sync states, audio content and the physical quality of the incoming signal.

The front panel features an exciting and detailed sync and audio state display with 97 LEDs. Furthermore every function has its own keys accompanied by clear function LEDs. Especially in a professional application, exact, quick and direct control and display of all incoming and outgoing signals, including MIDI and RS232, becomes indispensable. Errors can be detected at a glance. The control keys can be locked to prevent accidental changing of settings.

SERIAL/MIDI Extender

16 MIDI channels can be transferred invisibly across MADI, at the full count of 64 audio channels. The same applies to RS232: Be it 9600, 19200 or 115200 Baud, thanks to a 9-pin COM port, the ADI-6432 can be used as an extender for serial cables, with no effect on the audio functionality.

Additionally the device can be fully remote controlled and configured via MIDI, and all status displays can be queried through MIDI. Each ADI-642 can be given a separate ID, allowing separate remote controllability of various devices with only one MIDI channel.

The ADI-6432 is compatible to MADI interfaces of companies like Sony, Merging, Lawo, Euphonix, Stagetec, Jünger, Audio Service, AMS and others.
