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.

Equipped with five locking Ethernet connections, the PreSonus SW5E AVB switch 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 to grow. Network Activity and Link indicators allow you to verify your network data is flowing correctly.

We worked hard to make sure that the SW5E provides the most stable AVB networking possible in a rugged design that will hold up to the rigours 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 ensures your mission-critical network doesn't get accidentally unplugged.

StudioLive® Series III networked products form an ecosystem that is easily expanded and quickly configured. Designed to enhance each other, these products are at the forefront of AVB networking technology. The SW5E provides connections for up to five StudioLive Series III ecosystem products and can be expanded as your needs grow.
