The larger the system, the more complicated and expensive these connections
become, increasing the likelihood of errors and difficulties. It takes time and effort to
investigate such errors and their underlying causes. You may have already experienced
the unpleasantness of tracking various cables through a spider’s web of connections.
mLAN simplifies cable connections by using only one type of IEEE1394 cable, thus
enabling you to configure extremely sophisticated systems. There is no need to re-
patch cables to change routings of MIDI and audio signals between mLAN devices.
