Yamaha has announced the launch of the SWP1 Series L2 switches which have been designed specifically for sound installation and live sound networking.
The product comes with simple DIP switch Dante optimization and comprehensive graphical interfacing via a Windows application. The dedicated Windows application provides ‘network visibility’ for comprehensive monitoring and control.
The SWP1 simplifies switch configuration by having settings for QoS, IGMP Snooping and other parameters pre-configured optimal Dante performance. It is intended for audio engineers who may be new to IP networking. The SWP1 Series allows a Dante optimized setup to be recalled by flipping a single DIP switch. No expertise or training is required.
The switches also allow for setting up independent VLAN domains to take advantage of a network’s potential for handling StageMix or other smart device functions. The SWP1 Series includes three VLAN presets that can be simply selected via a DIP switch. There’s also a USER mode that allows fully customized VLAN setup.
