The information on how to use the MADI AUX on the stagebox to a second mixer is no to where to be found. Manual mentions that you can hook up one mixer to the MAIN MADI and another mixer to the AUX MADI of the stage box. It then says to set the switch on the Main to MAIN and the other to AUX. Doesn't say where that switch is, nor is there any information on configuration and set up.
Could someone please assist? Want to use the AUX to feed our video stream mixer. Both mixer for FOH and Video are SI Impacts. Both have the MADI cards and we also have DANTE in both mixers. We did the DANTE cause we could not get the AUX to work. Want to be able to take the MADI inputs to both and also will use the DANTE card to send/receive the analog inputs from the FOH to the Video Mixer.

Just seeing this so i assume you have your answer. If not drop me an e-mail at Tder@harman.com . There's a couple of ways to do this.
@HARMAN_Tder Would you mind posting here the answer on how to do it?
I followed the steps as well trying to get the trim function operable on my aux console but the aux console has zero control over preamp, no trim, the leds go up and down but it has no effect. My current work around is to use compressor make up gain on the aux console until I figure it out. The D.O.G.S. is cool, but that's not how I want to run it. That requires running madi console to console. I want a digital split from the mini stage box 32. Allows me to use both madi/usb cards to on each console to have backup multitrack recording. Harman diagrams show it that way on their site.
Says it right there on the Soundcraft Si Performer webpage. “When 2 consoles share a stagebox or when recording the direct channel outputs.”
