Frequently asked questions
Which product is for expanding audio I/O, and which is for console care?
The MADI USB Combo Si Option Card is a hardware expansion card that adds 32-channel USB and MADI I/O to Si consoles for recording and remote systems. The Si Expression & Performer 3 Accessory Kit includes protective and workspace items like a dust cover, lamps, and a scribble pad—it does not add I/O functionality.
What Si consoles are these compatible with?
The MADI USB Combo Option Card integrates with Soundcraft Si consoles (specific models determined by your console's expansion slot compatibility). The Si Expression & Performer 3 Accessory Kit is designed only for Si Expression 3 and Si Performer 3 models.
Do I need driver software for the MADI card?
The MADI card works with Windows 7, 8, and 10 and Mac OS Lion through El Capitan. Mac USB connections require no additional drivers. Windows connections will require appropriate drivers for your operating system version.
What workflow does the accessory kit improve?
The kit improves physical workspace setup and console care: the dust cover protects the console, the gooseneck lamps provide focused work lighting, and the scribble pad helps you document settings and recall notes during sessions—none of which affect audio signal flow or connectivity.
