Yamaha developed the mLAN FireWire Music Networking system to solve the problem that every musician faces: How do you create a studio that will expand with your needs and be future-proof as new products and technologies become available? The beauty of an mLAN system is its flexibility and scalability. Scalable means you can add new products to your studio’s mLAN network. Flexibility means you can instantly connect any input to any output using the mLAN Graphic Patchbay without physically plugging or unplugging any cables. All audio, MIDI, clock and control signals are handled on a single standard FireWire cable, eliminating the need for messy and often noisy analog cabling.
