The Appsys MVR-MKII Multiverter is an evolution of the versatile format converter, MVR-mkII, meticulously engineered to cater to all your digital audio needs. This singular piece of hardware stands out with its ability to convert between various digital audio interfaces, regardless of format, all at once. The MVR-MKII is loaded with features such as channel-wise-routing, a user-friendly web interface, sample rate conversion, headamp remote control, and much more. Excitingly, for MVR-64 (old model) users, all firmware features of the new model will also be back-ported as long as the hardware allows it!

What the Multiverter can do

  • Interface your recording gear to any signal source
  • Make your production truck or OB van compatible with any incoming signal and clock
  • Sample-rate convert between any interfaces using the SRC-64 plugin module
  • Bridge different Dante networks with optional sample rate conversion (up to 64ch 96k <> 48k bidirectional)
  • Utilize your ethernet port as a recording interface with the Dante® Virtual Soundcard technology
  • Record from any source, and directly from MIDAS®/Behringer® stageboxes with remote headamp control
  • Bring your legacy gear up to date
  • ...and any other audio routing or conversion task you can imagine!

Latency The table below shows the overall latency (receive+convert+transmit) between the various interfaces in number of samples.
For x1 modes (32/44.1/48kHz), n is 1.
For x2 modes (64/88.2/96kHz), n is 2.
For x4 modes (128/176.4/192kHz), n is 4.
The Dante latency d depends on the setting in the Dante controller which should be chosen according to the network topology, and can range from 150µs to 5ms.
