- Audio networking up to 256 channels
- MOTU AVB allows you to build an audio network with up to 256 channels (128 inputs and outputs). A system can be built with simple wiring: connect the first unit to your PC via Thunderbolt, and the second unit via a CAT5e cable and switching hub. Audio routing is controlled via dedicated software or a web browser.

・Web App Control
AVB I/O allows you to perform mixing, device settings, and even audio network routing using a web browser. It can be operated from Mac and Windows computers, as well as tablets and smartphones connected via wireless LAN.
