JCAT M12 SWITCH PREMIUM
The best network switch just got better.
A dedicated precision switching hub that brings the world of network audio into a completely different stage. Named as a precision network conditioner by high-end audiophiles, the M12 SWITCH PREMIUM is the successor of the M12 SWITCH GOLD. As a result of reviewing the design and implementing further vibration countermeasures, more durable parts are adopted in the M12 PREMIUM. You can feel the improvements over the previous model immediately.
Specification:
- A complete network solution for EXTREME Audiophiles: a network switch + high-end LAN cables (optional) + high-end power supply (optional)
- Sturdy build that can be used for a long time even under harsh environments
- By adopting the M12 connector, designed for transmitting Maximum Data Rates, reliable network communication can be continued even if strong vibration or impact occurs (used in railway in Japan)
- Significant improvement in signal-to-noise ratio that can’t be felt with a standard consumer type network switch
- Improves sound quality drastically. The sound becomes smoother, treble becomes more shiny with a lot more details, sound stage becomes larger and better defined
