Yamaha Pro Audio SWX3220-16MT L3 Multigigabit Switch

Product Description

The YAMAHA PRO AUDIO SWX3220-16MT is a Layer 3 multigigabit network switch designed for professional AV networking environments. A Layer 3 switch operates at the network layer, enabling IP routing alongside standard switching functions, which is essential in complex AV signal distribution and control networks. This unit is sold individually and is intended for installation and configuration by qualified network or AV integration technicians who require reliable, high-throughput switching in demanding professional settings.

The SWX3220-16MT is suited for professional AV networking applications where managed Layer 3 switching is required. Typical installation scenarios include live sound reinforcement systems, installed sound in houses of worship, conference centers, performing arts venues, and broadcast facilities where audio and control data must be routed across a structured network infrastructure. It falls within the AV networking switches category and is appropriate for both new installations and upgrades to existing network infrastructure.
