The MOTU AVB Switch is a six-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed specifically for AVB (Audio Video Bridging) networking. Fully compliant with IEEE 802.1 standards, it enables real-time, low-latency, and fully synchronized audio and video streaming across your network. With automatic device discovery and plug-and-play setup, it’s easy to build a robust AVB system—no IT background required.
Each port supports AVB and standard Ethernet operation, allowing seamless integration with MOTU AVB devices, additional switches, and traditional Ethernet equipment. Use standard CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables up to 100 meters for flexible installation. Benefit from guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) and network-wide sync with nanosecond precision.
Scalable and reliable, the MOTU AVB Switch supports up to 512 AVB streams—equaling thousands of audio channels—and can be expanded with additional switches to power extensive studio or live systems.
