Ethernet Switch UEF
MKII
Switch to Digital
Like No Other
The Synergistic Research Ethernet Switch Mk II represents a
significant leap forward in network audio technology and digital audio
reproduction, incorporating advanced innovations first developed for their flagship
Voodoo server and PowerCell SRX line conditioner. Inside Synergistic Research
now house their most current Electromagnetic Cells for signal
filtration, their Ultra-Low Frequency (ULF) biasing system and their
latest linear power supply technology building upon the success of Synergistic
Research first-generation UEF Ethernet Switch in such a way that dramatically
improves every aspect of its performance to achieve unprecedented levels of
digital signal purity. Audibly, these advancements translate to a noticeably
expanded soundstage, enhanced resolution, and improved tonal accuracy across
the frequency spectrum compared to the original UEF Ethernet Switch. Bass notes
gain authority and articulation, while treble extends with airy precision,
unveiling musical details that were previously obscured. With the Synergistic Research
Ethernet Switch Mk II Synergistic Research set another new standard for
networked audio.
Now with Improved EM
Filtration
Digital Signal,
Purified
At the heart of the Mk II are Synergistic Research
next-generation Electromagnetic Cells (EM Cells), the first reengineering
of their technology since they sought their original patent. Initially
developed for their PowerCell SRX to address both power and signal clarity in
the digital domain, they selectively filter high-frequency noise from incoming
AC power and the digital signal path, eliminating electromagnetic interference
(EMI) and switching noise that can degrade audio quality. This results in a
significantly lower noise floor compared to their original UEF Ethernet Switch.
Ultra Low Frequency
Biasing
Shape the Stage
A critical advancement in the Mk II is introducing Synergistic
Research ULF (Ultra Low Frequency) Biasing system, a feature that was
absent in the first-generation model. This ground breaking technology replaces
high-frequency noise with harmonics of the Earth’s Schumann Resonance, which
pass through the EM Cells unaltered. Unlike their previous switch,
which focused solely on first order noise reduction, the Mk II enhances system
musicality through this ULF Biasing.
Linear Power Supply
Strong and Silent
The Mk II also incorporates Synergistic latest linear power
supply (LPS) technology, refined during the development of the Voodoo server.
This advanced LPS optimizes the DC bias for the EM Cells and the
switch itself, unlocking performance levels unattainable from the first-gen UEF
Switch. The result is cleaner power delivery and more stable, jitter-free data
transmission, even under peak network loads.
