Silent Angel Bonn N8 | Audiophile 8-Port Network Switch

The Silent Angel Bonn N8 is an audiophile-grade Gigabit Ethernet switch engineered specifically for high-resolution music streaming. Featuring eight audio-grade Ethernet ports, a precision 0.1 ppm TCXO clock, advanced EMI suppression and a medical-grade power adapter, the Bonn N8 provides a dedicated network foundation for high-performance digital audio systems.

Designed to reduce electrical interference and improve network signal integrity, the Bonn N8 connects music servers, network streamers, NAS drives and other Ethernet-enabled audio components. Its compact metal chassis makes it easy to integrate into an existing HiFi system or use as the foundation of a dedicated audio network.

Precision Clocking and Noise Reduction

At the heart of the Bonn N8 is Silent Angel's temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO), specified at 0.1 ppm accuracy at 25°C. According to Silent Angel, this clock is approximately 50 times more precise than the conventional crystal oscillators used in typical network switches.

The Bonn N8 also incorporates Silent Angel's proprietary Noise Absorber (SANA), high-permeability EMI-absorbing materials and dedicated noise-isolation circuits for both the main power supply and clock-generation circuitry. These technologies are designed to reduce electrical interference and timing variations within the switch.

Eight Audio-Grade Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The Bonn N8 features eight 100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports, providing connectivity for a complete digital music system.

Key features include:

• Eight Gigabit Ethernet ports: Connect compatible music servers, streamers, network storage and other network audio components.

• High-precision TCXO: 0.1 ppm clock accuracy for stable network operation.

• Advanced EMI suppression: Silent Angel's proprietary noise absorber helps minimize electromagnetic interference.

• Dedicated noise isolation: Separate filtering circuits protect the main power and clock-generation systems.

• Medical-grade power adapter: Provides stable 5V DC power with low electrical leakage.

• Compact metal enclosure: Designed for convenient installation in HiFi equipment racks and desktop audio systems.

Build a Dedicated HiFi Streaming Network

The Bonn N8 is designed for systems using Roon, TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify and music libraries stored on network-attached storage devices.

By connecting audio components through a dedicated switch, users can organize their streaming equipment into a separate network segment and reduce its exposure to unnecessary household network traffic.

Multiple Bonn N8 switches can also be connected in series to create additional network segments for larger digital audio installations.

Upgrade with a Silent Angel Linear Power Supply

The Bonn N8 includes a medical-grade external power adapter and supports an optional linear power supply upgrade.

Pairing the switch with a compatible Silent Angel Forester F1 or F2 provides an alternative power source designed to further reduce electrical noise and improve power stability.

For enthusiasts building a complete Silent Angel streaming system, the Bonn N8 can be combined with compatible Rhein music servers, Munich streamers and Forester power supplies.
