The Bonn N8 Pro EU is designed for music lovers who want to build the ultimate Hi-Fi network and achieve the purest audio quality.
- Unique and advanced designs
- Eight gold-plated, encapsulated gigabit Ethernet ports with spatially separated connections to reduce potential signal interference.
- Class-leading internal radar-grade switching power supply module, available only in noise-sensitive acoustic devices.
- Perfectly timed data transmission.
- TCXO (Temperature Compensation Crystal Oscillator) significantly reduces network latency and jitter effects.
- An additional DC jack (12 V) for bypassing the internal switching power supply and connecting an external linear power supply for upgrade.
- A gold-plated ground connection (banana plug) for a grounding box to further reduce power interference.
- LED light switch that allows the user to turn off the port status indicator.
- Leading clock reception module for an external clock input.
-
Two available N8 Pro models: One with an external 10MHz word clock input (Bonn N8 Pro CLK) and one without (Bonn N8 Pro EU).
Specifically designed for HD music streaming
The Bonn N8 Pro creates a Hi-Fi audio zone to effectively separate your audio devices from normal household operations. Eliminates noise, transmits high-precision time data, reduces the effects of network interference and latency caused by bandwidth-intensive activities from PCs and other devices.
Exclusive clock module, TCXO: Silent Angel's 0.1ppm TCXO (Temperature Compensation Crystal Oscillator) is 50 times more precise than an ordinary quartz clock, reducing latency issues and jitter effects.
Jitter effect improvement: When transmitting high-frequency network packets, distortion is a common effect. The Bonn N8 Pro is able to reduce this effect to 369ps, while other switches show 705ps.
Optimized for your music applications
- Optimized for the Roon infrastructure. e.g. for a network consisting of Rhein Z1 as Roon Core Server and Munich M1 as Roon Ready Player.
- Optimized for high-resolution streaming services like Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify and more.
- Optimized for playing music collections from NAS (Network Attached Storage), works well with various brands like QNAP, Synology, WD NAS.
Further upgrade options
- Power source: Connect to the Forester F2 linear power supply (with dual 12 DC outputs) to further improve the power supply.
- Vibration suppression: Minimize vibrations and reduce noise by using S28 stainless steel feet.
- External clock input: Silent Angel has developed the Genesis GX as the ultimate audiophile word clock: Take your system to the next level with the Genesis!
