Network Your AVB-ready Interfaces!

Get to know them!

If you're looking for an easy way to network your 1248, 16A, 8M or other AVB-ready MOTU gear, then this MOTU AVB Switch is just what you need. With a single MOTU AVB Switch, you can easily network up to five AVB-compatible devices (including additional switches), to create a vast network of high-quality, high-definition audio for studio or live use. Network-wide clock and sync offer nanosecond-level accuracy, so each of the AVB Switch's five 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports offer near-zero latency via Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable over distances up to 328', which really made the live-sound gurus here at Sweetwater take notice. What's more, there's an additional port for connecting to standard Ethernet or a wireless router, in case you want to control your MOTU AVB-equipped devices via your iOS device.

MOTU AVB Switch Features:
  • Industry standard IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB) Ethernet switch
  • Automatic device discovery and bandwidth management with AVB devices makes setup easy
  • Uses standard CAT-5e or CAT-6 Ethernet cables for runs up to 100 meters
  • 1-Gigabit operation supports high audio channel counts with extremely low latency
  • Maintains quality of audio and video streams, regardless of other network traffic
  • Network-wide clock and sync provides pinpoint accuracy down to the nanosecond
  • Bridging port provides compatibility with standard Ethernet for internet and Wi-Fi
Connect your AVB-equipped gear with this MOTU AVB Switch!

This is an amazing interface, we now have our own AVB network that controls all of our audio from our Mac Pro, FOH, stage monitors and personal wifi mixes. By combining Digital Performer, the16A and the Monitor 8 with the AVB switch, we have complete control over the audio for our 22 piece... read more Symphonic Classic Rock Band, Bandidos Cerveza.

As always Sweetwater gave us great advice and had exactly what we needed! We need the AVB switch for a VOIP conference system.

MOTU AVB Switch
The switch works great. The only issue I had was updating the firmware. It was difficult to find on the MOTU site, but we did it and everything works.
