Frequently asked questions
What does each product actually do?
The CSB Optical MADI HD Card adds digital audio networking capability to Soundcraft mixers, transmitting signals over fiber optic cables. The RS2413SP Power Supply is a replacement power unit that feeds electricity to the stagebox hardware itself.
Do I need both products?
No. These solve different problems. You need the MADI card only if you're routing audio signals remotely; you need the power supply only if you own an RS2413SP stagebox and want a backup power source.
Which is better for live sound touring?
The power supply offers critical redundancy for touring because a failed power unit instantly halts the entire stagebox. The MADI card is valuable for complex touring setups where you need to run audio over long fiber distances, but it's not a standard requirement for most live rigs.
Will either work with my existing Soundcraft console?
The MADI card works with Vi6 Local Rack, Compact Stagebox, Vi1, Vi3000, and Vi Stagebox platforms. The power supply is compatible only with RS2413SP stageboxes. Verify your exact model before purchasing either.
