The MLN-192 Milan Option Card is an official OEM hardware expansion card engineered to integrate a Milan-compliant network interface directly into the modular Avid VENUE | S6L live mixing ecosystem. Installed directly into the central processing core, this high-performance card provides an ultra-low latency, deterministic AVB network connection to seamlessly route up to 128 channels of 96 kHz digital audio between a VENUE | S6L system and 3rd-party Milan-certified devices, such as professional loudspeaker systems and amplifier arrays.

By utilizing the interoperable Milan network protocol, this expansion card guarantees reliable, plug-and-play audio transport and clock synchronization without data dropouts or network management complexity.

Key Features

• Milan-Certified Interoperability: Establishes standard, secure AVB digital routing to interface seamlessly with premium 3rd-party loudspeaker and amplifier ecosystems.
• High-Density Channel Counts: Supports up to 128 independent channels of bi-directional digital audio transmission at a pristine 96 kHz sample rate.
• Dual-Card Redundancy Expansion: Supports installing up to two MLN-192 cards simultaneously inside a single engine chassis to establish full network redundancy or expand routing paths.
• Deterministic Low-Latency Routing: Leverages professional AVB network infrastructure to ensure perfect audio clocking and phase accuracy across long distance distribution lines.

Technical Specifications

• Component Type: PCIe Internal Network Expansion Option Card
• Host Engine Chassis Compatibility: Installs directly inside VENUE E6L and next-generation E6LX mix engines
• Network Protocol Compliance: Milan-certified Audio Video Bridging (AVB) / IEEE 802.1
• Audio Channel Capacity: 128 channels bi-directional @ 96 kHz (per card)
• Pack Quantity: 1 (Single MLN-192 Option Card Kit)

System Operational Note: This card is a specialized internal expansion module designed for central mixing cores. It is not compatible with local S6L control surface expansion bays or external remote Stage I/O rack card slots.

(Note: Dual-card deployment infrastructure requires the console framework to be running VENUE software version 8.0 or higher, while single-card configurations require a minimum of VENUE software version 7.0).
