The QSC NS26-480+ 26-Port Pre-Configured NETGEAR Network Switch is an enterprise-grade network switch designed to meet the performance requirements of Q-SYS, AES67, and Dante systems.

Designed primarily for Q-SYS audio, video, and control (AV&C), the NS Series Gen 2 provides a pre-configured networking solution for AV integrators and IT support teams deploying dedicated AV networks.

Faster deployment: The pre-configured switch helps reduce setup time, simplify commissioning, and minimize troubleshooting associated with configuring general-purpose network switches for AV applications.

Flexible AV networking: Supports Q-LAN, AES67, and Dante audio, along with Q-LAN video streaming and distribution, using the supplied configuration.

Power over Ethernet: PoE+ ports provide combined network connectivity and power for compatible Q-SYS endpoints and other supported devices.

Intelligent multicast management: Integrated IGMP+ helps manage multicast AV traffic across compatible NS Series Gen 2 switches. An optional built-in DHCP server can provide automated IP addressing for standalone AV networks.
