8Switch by English Electric: Enhanced GbE Ethernet Switch for Superior Music Streaming

The 8Switch by English Electric, a brand under Chord Company, is an 8-port GbE Ethernet switch meticulously modified and upgraded to meet our specific requirements for high-performance music streaming networks.

In the realm of music streaming, it’s a common belief that digital signals are inherently immune to the shortcomings of analogue transmission. However, the reality is more complex. Even the most sceptical of digital enthusiasts may be astonished by the improvements that can be achieved with a high-specification Ethernet switch like the 8Switch.

What our Clients Say about 8Switch

“A simple and tactile box with a lovely feel to it. The quality really stands out. I bought it to organise my digital devices and couldn’t be happier with the result.”
Fedor

Eight audio grade 100/1000 Base-T gigabit Ethernet ports make it possible to connect even the most demanding streaming setups. Significant (ie. audible) improvements can be experienced in music playback via streaming services or music stored on a NAS.
The 8switch features low and high electrical noise isolation, reducing data issues that can often be apparent during the playback of high-resolution material.

 
The machined aluminium enclosure offers excellent protection from both acoustic and electrical noise.

The minimal LED display on the front panel includes power, alarm and the link status/speed for each of the 8 ports.

The AV-grade power adaptor has been designed to reduce electrical noise from AC power and prevent mains quality issues from affecting the network signals. It also boasts high power efficiency, a no-load power consumption < 0.075W and protection from short circuit, overload and over-voltage.

Switches require high speed power supplies so we could not opt for a linear power source due to their speed limitations. We set about improving the power signal by using an extremely high-quality wall supply. This clean supply permits an optimum quality network signal, driven by high-accuracy TCXO clock technology.
