AVB network and Standalone-Mixer application

The MOTU 8D can also be connected to other AVB audio interfaces via the AVB Ethernet port, as mentioned above. This can be done either by a direct Ethernet cable connection from interface to interface or by using the individually available MOTU AVB switch, which also allows more than two MOTU audio interfaces to be connected simultaneously. This allows any number of inputs and outputs to be added to an existing AVB network without much effort. The standalone mixer function of the MOTU 8D AVB completes the very flexible application profile of the audio interface, as it no longer needs to be controlled directly but can be controlled remotely via a web app on iPhone, iPad, smartphone, tablet or laptop. In this way, certain parameters can be modified. This feature makes the MOTU 8D AVB very interesting for mobile use, such as stage or live applications in general. However, it is also very suitable for studios, as it can be easily expanded through the AVB network. Furthermore it is also well suited for home studios, as it can create excellent audio recordings with its high quality converters and very good 24-bit/192kHz resolution.
