In terms of connections, there are two basic variations for MAX servers:
Those that have audio outputs (L/R analog stereo and Digital) - including the MMS-01S, -02S
and -02SB (FIG. 50).
Those that do not - including the MMS-04S, -12S, -900, and HT-04 and HT-12 (FIG. 51).
However, all MAX Servers feature 2 Ethernet ports and at least 1 USB connection. Note that several
MAX Servers feature 2 USB ports.
MAX Servers use the USB port(s) to distribute audio to an MAX-AOM (Audio-Only) USB
Module.
MAX Servers that also feature audio outputs can distribute audio via USB to a single MAX-
AOM, as well as via the L/R analog stereo and Digital audio outputs.
MAX Modules (AOM and AVM)
There are two types of MAX Modules: the MAX-AOM (Audio-Only) USB Module, and the MAX-
AVM (Audio/Video) Module.
The MAX-AOM connects to the MAX Server via USB. Each MAX-AOM module is capable
of distributing audio to four zones. Do not use a USB hub with MAX Servers or AOM
modules (FIG. 52).
