Bluesound Professional and Netgear AV are partnering to simplify the deployment of networked audio systems through preconfigured network profiles on Netgear switches.
As part of the collaboration, Netgear switches will include preconfigured settings that automatically optimise networks for Bluesound Professional devices. By eliminating manual setup, this approach aims to reduce complexity for integrators and helps ensure reliable system performance.
The solution is designed to streamline installation workflows by applying network settings for BluOS traffic, reducing the risk of misconfiguration that can prevent systems from operating correctly. Integrators can access and deploy the profile directly within the Netgear switch interface as part of their standard configuration process.
The profiles will be available across Netgear AV and Netgear switching solutions, with preloaded profiles for all Bluesound Professional networked devices on Netgear switches. While these profiles are compatible with all BluOS-enabled products, Bluesound Professional profiles are specifically engineered for commercial AV environments, enabling streamlined PoE deployment and simplified subnet configuration.
