MADI—20 Years Old and Feeling Fit

Document Thumbnail

Strong standards remain useful even when their initial technological assumptions have a much shorter lifespan. The strength in a standard lies in its clarity of implementation so that the purpose of the standard can be implemented by different engineers, using different technologies where necessary, and still achieve inter-operability with other implementations in the field. MADI - standardized as AES10 in 1991 - is a multi-channel digital audio interface and was born out of earlier work on the 2-channel interface, AES3. Twenty years on, it is enjoying a third generation of hardware implementations and is being used in a wide variety of equipment, much of which was not envisioned, or imaginable, 20 years ago.
