Joyned has announced the MU16 as the world’s first Milan-compliant USB interface delivering AVB/Milan network connectivity to macOS, Windows, and iOS devices via USB-C without ‘no drivers, no fuss’.
At the heart of the MU16 is a USB-to-Milan bridge that transforms your device into a 16×16-channel Milan endpoint. Appearing as a class-compliant USB Audio Class 2.0 interface, the MU16 delivers 32-bit audio, ultra-low latency, and solid stability for live sound, studio production, and A/V applications.
‘The MU16 changes the game for anyone working with Milan,’ says company CEO and founder, Fabian Braun. ‘For the first time, engineers and creators can connect directly to a Milan network from their Mac, PC, or iOS device – no drivers, no configuration. It’s a tool built for the real world, where reliability, simplicity, and quality matter.’
Use of the interface supports virtual soundchecks, monitor rigs and routing of outboard processing. Milan-based installations can also be managed directly from a laptop or iPad. Additionally, the MU16 works out-of-the-box with any DAW via USB-C, enabling everything from stereo tracking to immersive multichannel workflows over Milan.
‘MU16 is our answer to the growing demand for simplicity and cross-brand interoperability,’ adds Senior Audio Product Specialist, Christian G Frandsen. ‘It unlocks Milan for every engineer, producer, or technician – whether you’re mixing a show, calibrating a system, or producing in the studio – stereo to immersive.’
