MAV Module Connections
Even though the MAV-GUI has only 8 Comms ports, up to 16 MAV modules can actually be
powered and controlled from one MAV-GUI. This is because each individual MAV has 2 Comms
ports; one Input and one “Loop Through” Output.
The 8 MAV modules that are directly connected to the MAV-GUI, will loop through separate
power and Comms to the further 8 MAV modules, 16 in total.
The RJ45 comms cables connect horizontally into the Comms ports not vertically. This is so that
the comms cables do not get trapped when mounting the MAV modules into the MAVRow.
Because a MAV module is able to “loop through” to provide Comms and power to a second
MAV module, it is worth noting that to save cable clutter, a MAV-GUI only has to have 4 Comms
cable connected to provide Comms and power to 8 MAV modules.
Note: Power to the MAV Modules is supplied via the comms cable from the
MAV-GUI, as Power over Maverik Ethernet (PoME). DO NOT connect any MAV
Modules to an Ethernet Switch.
Note: There are 2 different configurations of Comms ports on the underside
of the MAV modules, the diagram below displays the configurations, taking
care to note that Comms Input and Comms Loop Output are clearly marked.
Note: Only one level of loop through to a second MAV module is supported.
Take care to ensure
that the Comms
cables are connected
the correct way.

Loop Out is clearly
marked
Note: The MAV-8 Aud Fader is a future MAV module release, when released,
it will have a higher individual power requirement than the other MAV
modules. It will not support loop-through.
