Network Acoustics Introduce Muon2 Ethernet Filter & Muon2 Streaming Cable: Streaming Perfected
UK streaming obsessives Network Acoustics complete the Muon2 reference range with the launch of the Muon2 Ethernet Filter and Muon2 Streaming Cable. These components work individually or as a system to remove noise from the Ethernet signal, guaranteeing its purity and timing to unlock the full potential of the finest streamers and DACs.
Co-Founder Rich Trussell says:
“With the Muon2 Filter and Streaming Cable, we set out to consider every component part holistically. The circuit must remove as much noise as possible from the analogue signal that represents the ones and zeros of the digital code, without losing or damaging the signal itself. But just as important are vibration control, enclosure material, isolation, and the cable that makes the final connection with the Streamer. Get all of those right and the result is something truly special.”
Inside the Muon2 Ethernet Filter & Streaming Cable
Four Stages Of Noise Filtering
Building on the widely acclaimed Eno2 and Muon Pro, the Muon2 Ethernet Filter employs a new 8-core architecture designed to operate at speeds up to 2.5 Gb/s. At its core is a new four-stage cascaded filtering system, with elements working in series and parallel to remove two distinct forms of unwanted electrical noise: differential noise, which interferes with the data, and common mode noise, which radiates EMI through the system. The new circuit design also prevents self-induced electrical ringing and features a fully integrated grounding system to draw noise away from the signal path.
Solid Beechwood Enclosure
From work on previous products, Network Acoustics identified that micro-vibration has a big impact on sound quality, so they established that the choice of enclosure material would be critical to achieve the level of performance they wanted for Muon2. After testing a wide range of metals and polymers, they turned to wood, settling on beech as the best material for absorbing vibration without colouring the sound. To realise their design, Network Acoustics partnered with high-end speaker maker Auer Acoustics, who precision-milled each enclosure from a single piece of beechwood.
Pyramid Isolators
To support the enclosure are Network Acoustics’ newly developed Pyramid Isolators. Hand-machined from hardened silicate minerals to a sharp point, they perfectly isolate the Muon2 Ethernet Filter from surface-borne vibration. The audible effect is greater focus, finer micro-detail, and a more stable soundstage.
Co-Founder Rob Osbourn says:
“Beech is made up of short, tightly compacted fibres that act like a bundle of microscopic acoustic springs, which force vibrational shockwaves to spread across countless cellular boundaries and be rapidly absorbed. Beech neutralises background vibrational noise, making it the perfect choice for Muon2’s enclosure.”
The Muon2 Streaming Cable
The Muon2 Streaming Cable plays two critical roles for Network Acoustics: first, it is the essential final component for linking the Muon2 Ethernet Filter to the streamer or switch; and second, it is their new reference Ethernet cable.
The Muon2 Streaming Cable is built on Network Acoustics’ new 8-core architecture, rated to operate at speeds up to 2.5Gb/s, and introduces our new reference high-purity conductor, which is precision wound and damped with a multi-layered cotton and silk dielectric, absorbing micro-vibrations at the source. Finished with Network Acoustics’ proprietary shielding, grounded only at the source end, works alongside Telegärtner Japan gold connectors to ensure a stable, flawless connection at every termination point.
Co-Founder, Rob Osbourn says:
“Streaming may still seem to some like a simple matter of ones and zeros, but whether used alone or alongside the Ethernet Filter, the Muon2 Streaming Cable is as close as we can get to the perfect Ethernet cable. It is audible proof that designing a cable specifically for streaming music, to preserve the timing and purity of the signal, can transform a recording into a live performance.”
The Muon2 Ethernet Filter is supplied with a 1.0m Muon2 Streaming Cable as standard, or the Muon Streaming Cable can be purchased separately.

About Network Acoustics
Network Acoustics is a streaming-first audio electronics company founded by Rob Osbourn and Rich Trussell, two music-loving friends on a mission to design products that make streamed music sound as good as it possibly can.
Network Acoustics creates products to eliminate noise from data transmitted between devices at every stage of the digital audio path from the router to the DAC. This noise will disrupt the precise timing required for accurate digital-to-analogue signal conversion; once removed, the music produced sounds real and enjoyable to the human ear.
Every Network Acoustics product is engineered and hand-built in the UK, and ships worldwide with free delivery, a two-year manufacturer warranty, and a 60-day no-quibble money-back guarantee.
Throughout the show, Network Acoustics founders Rich Trussell and Rob Osbourn will be on hand to discuss the thinking behind the Muon2’s design and answer your questions. Do let us know if you’d like to meet up.
