WORK PRO AUDIO Reveals New Eight-Port AV Switch

WORK PRO AUDIO has unveiled the WNS-8P, a new eight-port Ethernet switch made for AV applications in the live, installation and integration markets.

"Network technology is a fundamental component of the modern AV industry," explained Equipson CSO Juan Jose Vila, "but for some time, our AV customers have been making us aware what a headache it can be to configure Ethernet switches designed for use in standard data networks, not AV applications. We realised there was a requirement for a switch designed specifically for AV installation professionals, and so the WNS-8P was born."

The switch is housed in a standard 19-inch rack, offers Power Over Ethernet (PoE), is compatible with RJ45 and etherCON connectors, and can be configured using a simple web-based interface. It is compatible with WORK PRO's numerous Ethernet-based AV solutions, including the BlueLine range, ArtNet/sACN nodes and the recently launched LightShark range of lighting consoles and associated expanders.

The WNS-8P will be available later in 2018.
