The update allows owners of the 16A, 848 and 10pre to share, route and distribute hundreds of audio channels with other Milan AVB network devices, including Meyer Sound, L-Acoustics, d&b audiotechnik and DiGiCo. MOTU has also improved firmware, drivers and CueMix Pro. Changes include Windows ARM processor support, independently enabled 24-channel WDM input and output streams in Windows, 64 general-purpose delay channels with up to 2 ms delay per channel in CueMix Pro, and one-click network synchronisation for current and legacy models.
Other improvements include:
- MOTU devices receive IP addresses automatically, but users can set a static IPv4 address manually through the front-panel display;
- CueMix Pro can find devices at specified IP addresses over VPNs or networks without multicast discovery;
- Free-running clock operation during network synchronisation interruptions keeps audio streaming until synchronisation returns;
- Users can adjust their MOTU interface's main output volume from a Mac keyboard;
- Device front-panel controls can be locked;
- Users can fine-tune the DAC response by selecting Minimum Phase (default), Linear Phase Fast or Linear Phase Slow.
Milan support is available to all 16A, 848 and 10pre owners as a free firmware update.
