6-port Gigabit AVB switch for audio and video networks

AVB networking without IT expertise

The Motu AVB Switch is a 6-port Gigabit Ethernet switch compliant with the IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB) standard, for quickly and easily building an audio (and video) network with MOTU AVB devices such as the 848, 16A, 1248, 8M, 24Ai and 24Ao. It supports automatic device discovery and bandwidth management, so you simply connect your devices with standard shielded CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables up to 100 m long and go. The six ports accept any AVB device, even other switches.

Guaranteed quality and network-wide sync

1-Gigabit operation makes the most of AVB, with very high channel counts and very low network latency. AVB guarantees that all audio and video streams are maintained regardless of other network traffic, while the network-wide clock provides sync accurate to the nanosecond. The network also supports standard Ethernet for a Wi-Fi router and internet access, so you can control your devices wirelessly from a computer, tablet or phone.

IEEE 802.1 compliant AVB networking

Audio Video Bridging (AVB) is the IEEE 802.1 extension to Ethernet, engineered for real-time, low-latency, fully synchronised streaming of audio and video.

One switch for all your AVB needs

The Motu AVB Switch lets you quickly build an AVB network, with six 1-Gigabit ports for any AVB device, even other switches, plus standard Ethernet operation on the same network.

Plug-and-play with standard cabling

You do not need to be an IT professional. Connect MOTU AVB devices with standard shielded CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables and the switch handles device discovery and bandwidth management automatically.

Up to 100 m per run

Use cables up to 100 m long between the switch and other AVB devices or switches, to cover a studio, stage or installation.

Guaranteed QoS and network-wide sync

In an AVB network, all audio and video streams are maintained without interruption, regardless of other network traffic.

Nanosecond accuracy

AVB provides a network-wide time base for better-than-sample-accurate phase lock across all connected devices. In a MOTU AVB system, network-wide sync is established with one click, and standard Ethernet support lets you add a Wi-Fi router for wireless control.
