The PreSonus SW5E is a five-port AVB switch. Four of the ports can provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) for PoE-compatible devices, while the fifth port is non-PoE, which is useful for linking to additional switches. Housed in a rugged, all-metal chassis, it can be rack mounted using a rack tray (not included). All ports employ secure, rugged XLRnet locking XLR Ethernet jacks, making the SW5E a great choice for live sound systems.
The new HP4 from PreSonus answers the need for a headphone distribution amplifier with professional specifications in a small package at an affordable price. The HP4 features four discrete headphone outputs on the front panel each with its own volume potentiometer and 150mW of amplification per channel. The HP4 also features adjustment over control room monitors with a separate volume control, monitor mute switch and mono switch giving you an extremely powerful monitoring solution at an amazingly low price.HP4 Features:Four High Power Headphone OutputsUltra loud (150mW per channel)Ultra quiet operationMusical Wide Dynamic RangeControl Room Monitor Outputs with Level ControlMono or Stereo OperationMonitor Mute SwitchDaisy Chain an Infinite Number of UnitsCompact package
As a stage box or audio interface for your DAW, the MOTU Stage-B16 combines ample I/O with ultra-low latency and networking capabilities via AVB Ethernet connectivity. Built-in DSP means you can add modeled analog EQ, vintage compression, and outstanding reverb to inputs and outputs, while mixing up to 48 channels and 12 stereo buses. You get 16 stellar mic preamps, and you can link multiple Stage-B16s via Ethernet if you need more I/O. For studio recording on your Mac or with your iOS device, connect via USB 2.0 for high-quality audio recording up to 192kHz.Audio Video Bridging over Ethernet (AVB) is a way to transmit digital audio and video over an Ethernet cable and allows you to network devices together for better system management and higher capacity. You can connect the MOTU Stage-B16 directly to the Ethernet port on your Mac computer, or you can connect it to a network switch like MOTU's AVB Switch so that any device on the network can access it. Basically, AVB allows for high channel counts, ultra-low latency, and network audio over a simple Ethernet cable.Like all MOTU equipment, the Stage-B16 is reassuringly rugged for reliable performance on the road. Connect your mics and stage monitors, then run a single Ethernet cable to your Mac or your MOTU AVB Switch. You'll have control over all functionality from any computer, iOS, or Android device that can access the network, no matter where you are in the venue.Features:16 x 8 digital mixer, stage box, and AVB/USB audio interfaceBuilt-in DSP for EQ, compression, and reverb on all inputs and outputsEthernet connectivity offers ultra-low latency, even with 100m cable runsA smart way to add more audio channels to your AVB networkMultiple units can be daisy-chained for higher channel countsStellar sound quality with up to 192kHz resolutionPowerful mixer with up to 48 channels and 12 stereo busesCan be used as an iOS audio interface via USB (requires Camera Connection Kit)Built ruggedly to withstand stage useControl all functionality with the web-based app from any computer or device connected to the network

64x64 Premium Audio Interface For Pro Tools | HD™ And Thunderbolt™ 2 Workflows, Featuring Eight Red Evolution Mic Pres And 32x32 Dante™ Audio-Over-IP Connectivity Red 8Pre features both Thunderbolt 2 connectivity and dual mini-DigiLink ports allowing you the best of both Core Audio and Pro Tools | HD workflows. Take Red 8Pre on the road for location recording over Thunderbolt then connect the same interface to Pro Tools|HDX or Pro Tools|HD Native back at the studio for mixdown. Switch easily between Pro Tools | HD and any Thunderbolt-connected DAW with Host Mode. The combination of low-latency conversion and driver technology allows real-time foldback mixes to be created in the DAW while you continue to use your native plug-ins. Unlike many interfaces, both mini-DigiLink and Thunderbolt 2 connectivity comes as standard, so there's no need to buy an additional option card. Eight Red Evolution Mic Pres Focusrite's Red Evolution mic pres draw on many decades of design prowess as well as many of the elements behind the incredibly popular RedNet mic pre used in many studios, broadcast facilities and live performances around the world. The digitally-controlled mic pres deliver a clear and honest sound with very low noise and plenty of gain available for the most-quiet of sources. They can be controlled from the front panel or remotely over Thunderbolt using RedNet Control. Additionally the mic pre settings can be saved and recalled allowing you to quickly re-setup for your next session. They also include our unique 'Air' effect, recreating the sound of the transformer-based mic preamps in the ISA and original Red ranges. When 'Air' is enabled, the microphone impedance is lowered and the sound is given a subtle mid-high boost – all in the analogue domain. Parallel Path Conversion Focusrite has been designing digital converters for over 20 years. From the original Blue 245 and 260 mastering-grade A-D and D-A, through the Liquid Channel and more recently RedNet, digital conversion is a key part of our design heritage and philosophy. Every converter we design starts with the same objectives: low latency, high dynamic range and a flat, wide frequency response. Red 8Pre's conversion achieves just that, lightning fast performance, a dynamic range of 118dB A-D and 121dB D-A and a flat response to 35kHz. By using “parallel path summing" we have achieved even greater noise-performance than ever. Room For Expansion While Red 8Pre has enough I/O for many scenarios, sometimes more is needed. That's why Red 8Pre includes two ADAT ports, for up to 16 additional inputs and outputs. Simply connect any ADAT equipment, such as the Focusrite Octopre, using light pipes. However in today's modern studio, audio networking is taking over. Focusrite's RedNet range is the world's most popular modular audio-over-IP platform. We've brought some of that technology to Red 8Pre, allowing up to 32 channels of Dante inputs and outputs to be connected. Simply plug in an Ethernet cable and add additional mic pres or line I/O with ease. Alternatively arrive at the studio or venue and simply connect one Ethernet cable to Red 8Pre to gain access to the whole network. The possibilities are huge. Hugely Flexible Since Red 8Pre allows the user to assign any physical input or output to any driver/Pro Tools|HD channel, it's easier than ever to customise the interface layout and integrate hardware inserts. Simply open RedNet Control software and reallocate the channels as required. Simple Switching Between DAWs Switch between Pro Tools | HD and a DAW connected to the Thunderbolt interface using the Host Mode setting in the included RedNet Control software. For example, you can switch quickly and easily between Pro Tools | HD and Ableton, Logic or Pro Tools software - just keep both connected at all times and make the switch whenever you need. Ultra-Low Latency Monitoring latency is the enemy of any performer and if the performance isn't excellent, the final mix won't be either. By utilising the lowest-latency conversion available, coupled with a high-performance Core Audio driver, Red 8Pre's analogue round trip latency is kept to an exceptionally low minimum of 1.67ms. Included Software Red 8Pre includes the new RedNet Control software, providing a straightforward and intuitive way to set up mixes and monitoring - and more! Control the mic pres – recall settings, assign stereo pairs, adjust gain and enable features such as highpass filtering and phantom power. Switch quickly between Pro Tools | HD and a Thunderbolt-connected DAW with the Host Mode setting. In addition, Red 8Pre is packaged with Hitmaker Expansion. The Focusrite Studio Console Reborn In Your DAW The Focusrite Studio Console defined countless hits of the 80s and 90s, thanks in large part to its ISA 110 Equaliser and ISA 130 Dynamics Modules.
