Engineered For Ultimate Performance
MS Series switches are designed to handle luxury residential, commercial, and pro-AV jobs and are ideal for customers who demand ultimate performance and reliability. Choose the MS Series switch for large audio and video streaming projects and multi-rack jobs where maximum bandwidth is a must, such as large residential projects or commercial settings like sports bars, retail spaces, and more.
Commercial Grade
MS switches support Layer 2 switch functionality including VLANs, IGMP, and spanning tree, in addition to professional AV protocols like Dante and Q-LAN. For more advanced commercial or residential jobs, these switches also provide Layer 3 functionality.
Built For Speed
With improved PoE+ budgeting that supports more PoE-powered devices and a range of 1 Gbps Ethernet and optional 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps SFP+ fiber uplinks, these switches are perfect for high-speed switch-to-switch connections and large media or video-over-IP deployments. (SFP+ uplinks require SFP accessories, sold separately.)
Pro-AV Functionality
The MS Series offers support for audio-over-IP protocols including Dante, AES67, and Q-LAN, as well as support for video-over-IP systems with IGMP v2/v3 and PIM.
Dealer-Inspired Versatility
With five switches in 12-, 24-, and 44-port models, the MS Series offers a range of options to fit the needs of every project. For easy installs, we’ve made the 44-port model a true 1U, while the 12-port models can fit side-by-side on a single 1U space.
