Presonus SW5E AVB Network Switch: Designed for Reliable AVB Audio Integration

The Presonus SW5E AVB Network Switch Black and Gray provides a robust networking backbone for AVB-enabled digital audio gear. By delivering low-latency, reliable audio transport and Power over Ethernet for up to four devices, it helps reduce cable mess and simplifies system design. Anyone building AVB-based live or studio setups will value the SW5E for its reliability, flexibility, and ease of deployment.

Key Design Elements for AVB Audio

Prioritizing critical audio data with its AVB-compliant design, the SW5E keeps latency low while routing signals dependably. Users benefit from rugged Ethercon ports with locking mechanisms and integrated PoE support, features that are often missing from generic network switches.

Connectivity and Power Management

Efficient network structure is essential in professional audio. The SW5E eliminates the need for external adapters through its built-in PoE capability and wide port selection.

• AVB Ports: 5 Ethercon/RJ45 — connect up to five AVB devices to allow flexible expansion.
• With PoE support on four ports (IEEE 802.3at-2009 Type 1), users can directly power compatible equipment for streamlined cabling.
• Bandwidth: 10/100/1000 Mbps — handles the demands of AVB audio data transfer.

Durability and Integration

Daily touring or fixed installations benefit from the heavy-duty metal chassis and straightforward hardware interface. Visual indicators make troubleshooting quick and intuitive.

• Chassis: Heavy-duty metal — ideal for both studio and road use.
• Compact dimensions (44 x 217 x 178 mm) allow for versatile mounting in racks or trays.
• Power Supply: 100–230V AC, 50/60Hz, 65W — supports global voltage standards for reliability worldwide.

AVB Workflow Advantages

With PoE integrated, stage power supplies become unnecessary, and cable management improves. Locking connectors prevent disruptions from accidental disconnects, while expansion is simple with additional switches. LED indicators for link and PoE help users monitor system status efficiently.
