Take your AVB network to the next level with the PreSonus® SW5E, a rugged and reliable AVB switch designed specifically for professional audio environments. An AVB network requires more than just standard Ethernet connections — it needs an intelligent switch that ensures low-latency, high-quality audio by prioritizing critical audio data. The SW5E fully complies with the AVB standard, making it the ideal backbone for expanding your StudioLive® Series III ecosystem and other AVB-ready devices. Equipped with five locking Ethercon connections, the SW5E provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) to up to four devices, such as the PreSonus EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers. Its fifth unpowered Link connection makes expanding your system easy, allowing additional AVB switches to be daisy-chained as your network grows. Status indicators for PoE, Link, and Network Activity let you quickly verify performance, while its rugged all-metal chassis and internal power supply make it built to withstand the demands of touring, installations, or live sound reinforcement. Whether you’re powering an entire stage monitoring system, integrating multiple StudioLive Series III mixers, or running a complex AVB setup, the SW5E ensures stable performance, reliable connectivity, and professional-grade durability.
