SWP1 Owner’s Manual

9

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.

Included items

• SWP1

• SWP1 Owner’s Manual (this book)

• 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.
