The SPoE Switch is a 5 port gigabit network switch designed to work along side both the DiGiGrid Desktop audio interfaces and the
DiGiGrid rackmount audio interfaces. Matching the sleek and compact styling of the desktop range, this compact switch is perfect

connected devices, allowing them to operate without an additional external DC power supply.
The upstream non-PoE port is primarily for connecting to your existing SoundGrid network, your computers network port, or other
SoundGrid network interfaces that do not require PoE power.
The four downstream PoE ports provide both data and power to the DiGiGrid D, M and Qaudio interfaces.
Sis powered by a twist lock 48V DC power supply.

This is the most basic studio conguration. It includes a host computer with a native DAW and a single DiGiGrid Desktop Interface
that connects microphones, instruments, headphones, and monitors to the SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver. This driver controls
