Yamaha launches new audio network switches

The Yamaha SWP1 series is the first range of network switches designed and produced solely and specifically for the professional audio industry. Offering a set of Ethernet features, it features plug-and-play operation straight out of the box. Flipping a single DIP switch allows an optimised Dante setup to be instantly recalled.

 

The switches simplify configuration by having settings for QoS, IGMP Snooping and other parameters pre-configured for Dante performance. In addition, independent VLAN domains can be set up to take full advantage of a network’s potential for handling StageMix or other smart device functions. No prior knowledge is required, as the SWP1 series includes three VLAN presets that are selectable via DIP switch. There is also a User mode that allows for fully customised VLAN setup.

 

A Yamaha Audio Network Monitor application for Windows computers provides a view of the parameters required for Dante network management, including network traffic, switch status and individual Dante device information. It also monitors non-Dante devices on the network. Users can also take a snapshot of the normal network status and set an alarm to warn them if any parameters change.

 

The SWP1 series is compatible with Dante-enabled products from both Yamaha and other audio manufacturers. SWP1 network switchers will be available in March 2016 in three versions: SWP1-8 (eight Ethercon ports), SWP1-8MMF (eight Ethercon ports plus Multimode fibre connector) and SWP1-16MMF (12 Ethercon ports, four standard RJ45 ports plus Multimode fibre connector).
