JL Audio MVi marine network audio bridge interface

The JL Audio MVi-HUB interface is a JLid™ communication and network bridge designed for centralized management of multi-amplifier marine audio systems.

The MVi-HUB simplifies the configuration of multi-amplifier systems by allowing the setup and adjustment of all amplifiers via a single TüN™ project file. It also synchronizes DSP presets and distributes commands from a single Digital Remote Controller (DRC) across the entire amplifier network.

The MVi-HUB can connect up to six amplifiers. This includes one MVi "Master" amplifier and up to five "Slave" amplifiers (MV or MVi models).

An MVi "Master" amplifier is required for the MVi-HUB interface to function. Without this connection, the MVi-HUB will not operate.

No, audio signals are NOT transmitted via the JLid-COMM connections on the MVi-HUB. These connections are dedicated to the JLid™ communication protocol.

The MVi-HUB is powered by the amplifiers connected to the network.

The MVi-HUB has a dedicated JLid-CTRL port for connecting a compatible accessory. This accessory is sold separately.

Benefits include:

Simplified configuration of multi-amplifier systems.
The ability to adjust all amplifiers with a single TüN™ project file.
Synchronization of DSP presets across all amplifiers.
Distribution of commands from a Digital Remote Controller (DRC) across the entire network.

No, standard CAT5e network cables required for JLid-COMM connections are not included with the MVi-HUB interface.

When the MVi-HUB is installed vertically with all connections pointing downward, it achieves an IPX2 water resistance rating.

This product should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated location. Avoid areas directly exposed to the elements, the engine compartment, zones of extreme heat, or high-pressure water spray. Ensure the installation location does not interfere with factory-installed systems.

Yes, it is important to take the following precautions:

Protect all system wires from sharp edges by routing them carefully and using grommets and sleeves where necessary. Secure all cables with cable ties or clamps to protect them from moving parts and sharp edges. Never route system wiring outside or under the boat, as this can cause serious damage.

You must use standard CAT5e network cables for all JLid-COMM connections between the MVi-HUB and the amplifiers.

For optimal performance, keep CAT5e cable lengths as short as possible.

The MVi-HUB is fitted with keyhole-type mounting holes to simplify installation. It should be mounted vertically, with all connections pointing downward where possible. This helps divert condensation and moisture away from the housing.

To configure TüN™ using a PC or Mac®, connect your computer only to the USB port of the MVi "Master" amplifier.

No, the MVi-HUB is specifically designed to provide network connectivity to JL Audio amplifiers in the MV and MVi series. A "Master" MVi amplifier is required for its operation.

No, it is essential to use only CAT5e network cables for JLid-COMM connections to ensure optimal performance and proper communication of the JLid™ protocol.
