The PreSonus SW5E is a 5-Port AVB Network Switch and Bridge that provides Power over Ethernet for up to four devices on the network. An unpowered Link connection makes it easy to add AVB switches as your network needs grow. Network Activity and Link indicators allow you to verify your network data is flowing correctly.
An AVB network relies on an intelligent AVB switch to analyze network traffic and ensure that critical audio data is prioritized when connecting more than two devices. This guarantees the low-latency, high-quality audio performance for which AVB is known. The PreSonus SW5E AVB switch fully complies to the AVB standard while providing Power over Ethernet (PoE) to devices that can take advantage of it, like the PreSonus EarMix 16M.
PreSonus worked hard to make sure that the SW5E provides the most stable AVB networking possible in rugged design that will hold up to the rigors of live sound and touring. An internal power supply means there's no clumsy wall wart to get bumped from the wall, and locking XLR Ethernet connections ensure your mission-critical network doesn't get accidentally unplugged.
