Chord Company launches a first product under the English Electric brand-- the 8Switch, an ethernet switch the company says is designed to deliver high-quality sound from music streamed over a network.
The 8Switch comes inside a machined aluminium enclosure, one English Electric says provides "excellent" protection from acoustic and electrical noise. It offers x8 "audio-grade" 100/1000 Base-T gigabit ethernet ports, all featuring high and low electrical noise isolation to reduce data issues when streaming music over a network.
