The Matrix Audio SS-1 Pro is engineered for precision in high-fidelity audio environments, ensuring lossless digital transmission. Experience an unwavering commitment to acoustic truth with enhanced isolation from electrical noise.
The SS-1 Pro Audio Grade Network Switch is meticulously designed around core principles of digital signal integrity and transmission efficiency. Its dual 10Gbps isolated ports allow for the simultaneous connection of high-speed equipment while ensuring electrical isolation through fiber optic connections. This minimizes electromagnetic interference which is critical in preserving the quality of audio signals. The independent Ethernet sockets reduce the potential for crosstalk and allow for optimal usage of high-quality cabling. The inclusion of a femtosecond clock and low-phase-noise RF synthesizer enhances the accuracy of timing signals, critical for synchronized data transmission in audio applications. The system's linear power supply further reduces electrical noise, providing clean power to sensitive components, ensuring the integrity of the audio signal remains intact throughout the transmission process.
