It delivers stable timing, low-noise signal transmission, and a refined power platform that supports clean digital paths in demanding listening environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew territory, new evolution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe SS-1 Pro is engineered specifically for high-fidelity streaming rather than general data routing. Its architecture focuses on the components that influence digital signal quality — regulated power, precise clocks, noise isolation, and passive thermal control. The result is a switch that supports streaming with consistent timing and reduced interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigher speed, better performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eA high-speed circuit platform naturally carries lower timing error, even when transmitting below its maximum bandwidth. Running audio data within that broader stability margin yields steadier packet flow and fewer timing irregularities. The SS-1 Pro uses this principle to maintain a cleaner digital handoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual 10Gbps isolated ports\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eTwo SFP\/SFP+ ports support modules up to 10Gbps. You can install optical or RJ45 modules depending on your system needs. Using fiber provides complete electrical isolation between upstream network devices and your audio chain, preventing high-frequency noise from leaking through shared grounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndependent Ethernet sockets\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe SS-1 Pro includes multiple 2.5Gbps ports and two 100Mbps ports intended for audio components. Running endpoints at 100Mbps can reduce bit-error risk during transmission. Each port uses a shielded metal-shelled transformer to block radio-frequency interference. Wider spacing helps when routing thicker cables in a clean, organized row.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExternal clock input and RF synthesizer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eA femtosecond clock works with a high-precision ultralow phase-noise RF synthesizer to generate the reference signal for the main controller. The SS-1 Pro also accepts a 10MHz external clock. In that mode, the external reference feeds the DPLL, which outputs a synchronized, low-phase-noise signal for the controller. This keeps timing tight across the entire network path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfigurable indicator LEDs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eA rear-panel button disables the Ethernet port LEDs. In darker rooms, this keeps visual distractions low while the switch continues running silently in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLinear power and silent cooling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eA custom o-core toroidal transformer, high-speed Schottky diodes, and nearly 10,000 uF of audio-grade filtering capacitance form the first-stage supply. Six ultra-low-noise LDO regulators provide clean voltage rails for the clock and controller. A large passive heatsink handles thermal load without generating sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision and flexible chassis design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eA CNC-machined aluminum chassis paired with a reinforced steel base keeps the SS-1 Pro solid and stable. It ships with four isolation feet, but the design allows quick conversion to a three-foot layout for alternate placement or tuning needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eAudio-grade network switch for high-resolution streaming\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eSFP\/SFP+ optical-capable ports up to 10Gbps\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eElectrical isolation via fiber modules\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eDedicated 100Mbps ports for audio endpoints\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eFemtosecond clock with external 10MHz clock support\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eLinear power architecture with passive cooling\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCNC aluminum construction with adjustable foot configuration\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eStandards and protocols:\u003c\/strong\u003e IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T; IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-X; IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-T; IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T; IEEE 802.3ae 10G BASE-SR\/LR; IEEE 802.3bz 2.5G\/5G BASE-T; IEEE 802.3cb 2500BASE-X\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003ePorts (SS-1 Pro):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × 100Mbps\/10Mbps RJ45; 6 × 2.5Gbps\/1Gbps\/100Mbps\/10Mbps RJ45; 2 × 10Gbps SFP\/SFP+\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eExternal clock input (SS-1 Pro only):\u003c\/strong\u003e 10MHz, 50Ω impedance, sine wave or square wave input\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eLED indicators:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × Power\/Status LED; 2 × Clock mode LEDs (SS-1 Pro only); each LAN port has 2 LEDs for speed, link \u0026amp; activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eMax MAC entries:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16K MAC address table\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003ePower specs (SS-1 Pro AC input):\u003c\/strong\u003e Auto voltage range linear power supply; AC 100V–120V 50\/60Hz \/ AC 220V–240V 50\/60Hz (voltage auto adaptive); power consumption \u0026lt; 15W\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003ePower specs (SS-1 Pro DC input):\u003c\/strong\u003e External power voltage DC 12V ±10%; external power wattage ≥ 18W; power plug outer diameter 5.5mm, inner diameter 2.1mm (center positive)\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eWeight (SS-1 Pro):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.4kg (7.50 pounds)\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (SS-1 Pro):\u003c\/strong\u003e Width 330mm (12.99 inches); depth 235mm (9.25 inches); height 58.5mm (2.30 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003ePower cable ×1\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eQuick start guide ×1\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eWarranty card ×1\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Matrix Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46866189123759,"sku":"APS-1204-1","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6415\/2239\/files\/apos-audio-matrix-audio-headphone-dac-amp-matrix-ss-1-pro-audiophile-network-switch-1210934165.png?v=1777716165","url":"https:\/\/freshized.com\/products\/matrix-ss-1-pro-audiophile-network-switch","provider":"Freshized","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
