Yamaha SWP1-16MMF L2 Switch

The Yamaha SWP1-16MMF L2 Switch is a purpose-built, Dante-optimized network switch that removes the guesswork from AV over IP deployments. Designed for professional audio environments, this 16-port Layer 2 switch combines robust network management with seamless Dante operation, enabling rapid, reliable setup even in complex multi-device installations. Whether you’re outfitting a concert venue, house of worship, corporate event space, or rental fleet, the SWP1-16MMF L2 Switch delivers the performance, visibility, and ease-of-use that audio pros demand. Its Dante-centric design means you can prioritize audio traffic, simplify device discovery, and reduce latency—so your sound travels as cleanly as it should, from source to speaker, every time. In short, it’s a scalable, fan-out-ready solution that bridges the gap between audio engineering and IT administration, turning what used to require specialized IT support into a straightforward, repeatable workflow for technicians and performers alike.

  • Easy Dante optimization with a single switch setting — no deep IT expertise required, so audio teams can deploy Dante networks quickly and confidently.
  • Built-in network visibility tools that monitor device status, traffic, and performance in real time, helping you spot issues before they affect a show.
  • Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic management that prioritize essential audio streams, ensuring consistent, low-latency performance even on busy networks.
  • 16 Ethernet ports plus flexible uplink options support scalable, fault-tolerant AV networks, making it ideal for expanding Dante ecosystems or integrating with core IT infrastructure.
  • Rugged, compact design for stage racks, fixed installations, and portable setups, offering reliable operation in demanding environments without sacrificing space or airflow.

how to install Yamaha SWP1-16MMF L2 Switch

  • Plan your Dante network layout: designate a dedicated data network for Dante traffic if possible, and prepare room for future expansion with port headroom on the SWP1-16MMF L2 Switch.
  • Position the switch in a well-ventilated area: choose a rack or stable surface that allows for adequate airflow to maintain performance during longer sessions or tours.
  • Connect power and basic cabling: power on the unit and connect your Dante devices, mixers, and processors to the 16 Ethernet ports using CAT6 (or higher) cables to ensure reliable gigabit performance.
  • Access and apply the Dante optimization profile: use the simple switch setting described in the user guide to enable Dante optimization. This step is designed to streamline configuration and improve traffic handling for audio streams.
  • Integrate with Dante Controller: verify device discovery and routing by opening Dante Controller, ensuring all Dante-enabled devices appear as expected and that audio paths are properly assigned with minimal latency.
  • Configure QoS and multicast if needed: for larger installations, adjust QoS to prioritize audio and enable multicast filtering to optimize performance on shared networks.
  • Test and save: run a quick test of audio paths, confirm stable latency, and save the configuration to preserve settings across reboots and transport modes.
