Introducing the Presonus SW5E network switch and bridge
The SW5E is a superb tool for touring musicians, or anyone using a live sound system. It provides the most stable AVB networking possible in rugged design that will hold up to the rigours of live gigs. 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.
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.
