Network Your AVB-ready Interfaces!

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!

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

AVB NETWORK VALUE

We have installed SEVERAL of these units on AVB Networked System projects with good success. They are perfect for small to medium networks. Quality build and finish. Sweetwater usually has good stock and a very fair price.

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 Symphonic Classic Rock Band, Bandidos Cerveza.

I am not surprised, I have been using MOTU gear since 1986 and have never been disappointed.

AVB Switch

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.
