Question

I’ve decided to buy the 32r rack mixer as a stagebox that will connected to the Presonus 32s digital mixer. I want to add the AVB switch to the system because I want to use UC Surface and QMix and also add in ears later on. Am I going in the right direction? Am I missing anything or would I need the NSB 16?

Answer 1

The AVB switch would be used to expand your AVB network.

If you plan on using UC and other applications, those use the TCP protocol.  At this time, I don't think TCP will effectively work over networking equipment designed for the AVB protocol.  For ease of management and troubleshooting, it's usually best to keep the TCP and AVB protocols on their own networking equipment.
