Optional board for the SX-AD8+ that allows a direct connection to a Mac by means of a simple RJ45 ethernet cable. No proprietary software is required: once connected to a Mac, the SX-AD8+ is automatically added as a 8-channel audio source.
The card is Power over Ethernet (PoE) capable, meaning that a single ethernet cable is able to power the SX-AD8+ and transports all audio channels.
Apple Mac OS X Support
All Apple Macs with a Thunderbolt port or built-in Ethernet port are AVB capable. Macs with Thunderbolt 3 or 4 (USB-C) require an Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (Sonnettech Thunderbolt to AVB) to enable AVB. Generic USB-C Ethernet adapters are generally not supported. macOS 15 or newer is required (macOS 15+ recommended for Apple Silicon).
For more information and a detailed explanation on how to your AVB card, please refer to the SONOSAX SX-AD8+ AVB USER GUIDE.
