AVB ETHERNET AUDIO INTERFACE SETUP
Use this setup if you want to use the M64 as an AVB
Ethernet audio interface for a recent-generation
Mac (i.e. any Mac with a Thunderbolt port on it).
OS X El Capitan (10.11) or later is required for AVB
audio I/O.
■ Use a standard CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable.
■ Connect to the computer’s Ethernet port.
See “Setup for AVB Ethernet audio interface
operation” on page 40.
About CAT-5e cables
Use shielded CAT-5e or
CAT-6 cables, which are a
higher grade version of a
standard Ethernet cable.
They are available wherever
network cables are sold.
SETUP FOR TWO INTERFACES
Use this setup if you want to connect two MOTU
interfaces to your computer.
■ The connection to the computer can be either
USB or Thunderbolt, if you have a Thunderbolt-
equipped MOTU interface such as 8A, 8M, 16A,
1248, 112D or 624. If you intend to run a very high
number of audio channels to and from the
computer, use Thunderbolt or USB 3.0, which
support fast bus speeds and high channel counts.
■ If you use Thunderbolt, use a standard
Thunderbolt cable. Place it at the end of the
Thunderbolt chain.
■ Use any standard CAT-5e Ethernet network
cable to connect the two interfaces together using
their NETWORK ports.
■ As an alternative, see “Setup for multiple
interfaces” on page 37.
