Silent Angel Bonn NX Audiophile Network Switch

Silent Angel Bonn NX Network Switch  – Elevate Your  Network Performance

In the realm of high-fidelity audio, every component plays a pivotal role in delivering an unparalleled listening experience. The Silent Angel Bonn NX network switch emerges as a game-changer, meticulously engineered to enhance the purity and precision of your digital music streaming. Designed with audiophiles in mind, the Bonn NX offers a suite of features aimed at minimizing noise and jitter, ensuring that your audio system performs at its zenith.

Uncompromised Build Quality

The Bonn NX showcases a robust, dual-layer chassis construction. The inner layer, crafted from galvanized steel, is complemented by an outer shell of high-quality aluminum alloy. This design not only provides exceptional shielding against electromagnetic interference but also effectively dampens vibrations, contributing to a cleaner signal transmission. ​

Precision Timing with TCXO Clock

At the heart of the Bonn NX lies a high-precision Temperature Compensation Crystal Oscillator (TCXO). This specialized clock module significantly reduces network latency and jitter effects, ensuring that digital signals are transmitted with impeccable timing. The result is a more accurate and immersive audio reproduction, allowing listeners to experience music as the artists intended. ​

Versatile Connectivity and Expandability

Equipped with eight gold-plated 1GbE RJ45 Ethernet ports, the Bonn NX ensures stable and high-speed connections for all your networked audio devices. The inclusion of a 25MHz BNC interface allows for the integration of an external word clock, such as Silent Angel's Genesis GX, offering an upgrade path for those seeking even greater timing accuracy. Additionally, a grounding port is provided to connect to external grounding systems, further minimizing potential interference. ​

Enhanced Power Supply Options

While the Bonn NX features a radar-grade internal switching power supply, it also offers the flexibility to connect an external linear power supply via a 12V DC input. Pairing the switch with Silent Angel's Forester F2 linear power supply can lead to a significant reduction in electrical noise, resulting in a more refined and transparent audio performance. ​

User-Centric Features

Understanding the diverse needs of audiophiles, Silent Angel has incorporated thoughtful features into the Bonn NX:

• LED Indicator Control: A switch allows users to disable the LAN port status LEDs, eliminating potential visual distractions in dedicated listening environments. ​

• External Clock Integration: The device includes a switch to toggle between internal and external clock sources, providing flexibility based on user preferences and system configurations.
