Alongside it, the USB Milan Bridge completes the brand’s new MILAN offering in a compact yet powerful format. This is an all-in-one solution that provides direct connectivity to MILAN networks for macOS and Windows 11. Designed to deliver maximum stability and performance, it offers ultra-low latency and high-resolution audio, making it ideal for engineers who require seamless integration between computers and MILAN networks.
Key features of the USB Milan Bridge:
- Up to 32 inputs across 4 streams
- 16 inputs and 16 outputs
- 96 kHz at 32-bit resolution

“We are excited to launch new products that give audio professionals more options for using Milan. Adamson has been a key force in the adoption of Milan for over 10 years, and we are proud to continue that effort. These products will allow sound engineers to access Milan regardless of the scale of the system they are working with,” said Brian Fraser, Head of Product and Technology at Adamson.
With the MS 8.2 Network Switch and the USB Milan Bridge, Adamson reinforces its commitment to scalable, standards-based and future-ready networked audio solutions, making it easier for professionals to build more efficient and connected systems.
