Know before you buy
The Orange Box acts as a bridge between different digital audio formats. It allows you to convert signals between MADI, Dante, Hydra 2, and Optocore, making it essential for integrating disparate systems in complex broadcast or live environments.
The pre-installed DMI-KLANG card provides 64 inputs and 16 stereo immersive mixes directly within the rack. It is designed for ultra-low latency monitoring, ensuring performers receive a natural, spatialized mix without distracting delays.
Yes, the Orange Box is fully compatible with DiGiCo S-Series and Quantum systems. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing workflow to expand your I/O and processing capabilities.
The dual PSUs provide critical operational redundancy. If one power source fails during a performance or broadcast, the unit automatically switches to the second supply, preventing signal loss and ensuring continuous operation.
Yes, the unit supports both 48kHz and 96kHz sample rates. When using the MADI BNC interface, you can maintain 64 channels of I/O at either of these rates.
The Orange Box features two DMI card slots that allow for flexible configuration. While this specific model comes pre-equipped with MADI and KLANG cards, the modular design allows you to swap or add other DMI cards to suit different project requirements.
