The L-Acoustics LS10 is an Avnu-certified, plug-and-play AVB switch designed to streamline audio and control distribution within professional AV networks. Featuring 10 AVB ports—eight Neutrik EtherCON™ connectors and two SFP cages—it supports both copper and fiber connections, facilitating flexible system configurations. Its compact 1U half-rack design allows two units to be mounted side-by-side for seamless redundancy, enhancing system reliability. With a rapid 5-second boot time, the LS10 ensures minimal downtime, crucial for live events and installations. The switch includes a General Purpose Output (GPO) for fault detection, enabling external device triggering in case of system issues. An auxiliary 24V DC input provides redundant power, maintaining operation during mains failure. Designed for integration into the L-Acoustics ecosystem, the LS10 operates silently without internal ventilation, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments. Its user-friendly setup eliminates the need for extensive IT knowledge, offering a reliable networking solution for AV professionals.
