Don't Use this Network Switch with the DM3!

In this video, I explain why you shouldn't use an unmanaged switch like the Netgear GS108 on your Dante network, especially with a Yamaha DM3. I'll walk you through the issues caused by Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and why using a managed switch is crucial to prevent sync and clocking problems. Be sure to check the links in the description for recommended switches from Audinate and Shure to keep your Dante network running smoothly.

Here are two articles that show a list of network switches that are not compatible.
