Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Yamaha SWP1-8, SWP1-
8MMF, or SWP1-16MMF L2 switch.
To take full advantage of the superior functions and
performance offered by the SWP1, and to enjoy years of
trouble-free use, be sure to read this owner's manual
carefully before operation.
This owner's manual is intended to be read by audio
networking personnel.

• Power cord (three-pin plug)
Option item
• MMF-SWP1 (optical expansion unit)
* Installation must be performed by a Yamaha service engineer.
Customers must not attempt to perform the installation
themselves.
Precautions for Rack Mounting
This unit is rated for operation at ambient temperatures
ranging from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. When mounting
the unit with other SWP1 unit(s) or other device(s) in an
EIA standard equipment rack, internal temperatures can
exceed the specified upper limit, resulting in impaired
performance or failure. When rack mounting the unit,
always observe the following requirements to avoid heat
buildup:
• When mounting the unit in a rack with devices such as
power amplifiers that generate a significant amount of
heat, leave more than 1U of space between the SWP1
and other equipment. Also either leave the open
spaces uncovered or install appropriate ventilating
panels to minimize the possibility of heat buildup.
• To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack
open and position it at least 10 centimeters from walls
or other surfaces. If you've installed a fan kit, there
may be cases in which closing the rear of the rack will
produce a greater cooling effect. Refer to the rack
and/or fan unit manual for details.

Features

• Recommended settings for Dante are
provided
Recommended settings (such as QoS, EEE, and IGMP
Snooping) for stable operation of the Dante network
can be specified with only DIP switch.
• VLAN presets provided
Three types of preset VLAN settings are provided,
allowing a more stable network to be constructed by
dividing audio signals and control signals with a single
SWP1 unit. The user can also customize the settings.
• Visualize the network status
The "Yamaha Audio Network Monitor" Windows
application allows you to monitor the status of the
network and the Dante devices. The unit's indicators
also show which VLAN is connected to which port.
• Hardware that supports safety and peace of
mind
All models can be rack-mounted. In consideration of
temporary setups or other environments in which
cables are liable to be pulled out, etherCON and
opticalCON (except the SWP1-8) are provided as
standard. In addition to an AC IN jack with V-lock, an
XLR-4-32 type EXT DC INPUT jack is also provided.
The internal power supply can be backed-up by
providing external power (+24V) via this jack.
