The Bonn N8 Pro EU is designed for music lovers who want to build the ultimate HiFi network and achieve the purest audio quality.
- Unique and advanced designs
- Eight gold-plated, encapsulated Gigabit Ethernet ports with spatially separated connectors to reduce potential signal interference.
- Class-leading internal radar-grade switching power supply module, found 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 (12V) to bypass the internal switching power supply and connect an external linear power supply for upgrade.
- A gold-plated grounding terminal (banana plug) for a grounding box to further reduce power interference.
- LED light switch allowing 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).
Specially designed for HD music streaming
The Bonn N8 Pro creates a HiFi audio zone to effectively isolate your audio devices from normal household operations. It eliminates noise, transmits highly precise time data, and reduces the impact 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 problems 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 such as QNAP, Synology, WD NAS.
Further upgrade options
- Power source: Connect to the linear Forester F2 power supply (with dual 12 DC outputs) for further power improvement.
- Vibration suppression: Minimize vibrations and reduce noise by using S28 stainless steel feet.
