Product Description
Sound Tools CAT Box FX – 4 Female with Passive Analog Audio for etherCON Daisy Chain – 4 Channel XLR Over CAT5e Stage Box – DMX, COM, AES & 3-pin XLR Compatible – Rugged Aluminum Housing
- 4 CHANNEL XLR OVER CAT5e: Send or receive 4 isolated analog channels over a single shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cable. Reduces stage clutter while replacing long runs of traditional xlr cables, maintaining clean, interference-free signal flow in live and studio environments.
- FULLY PASSIVE DESIGN: No external power required. This unit transports signal reliably through one shielded xlr cable alternative, supports phantom power, and eliminates failure points during live shows or critical production setups.
- ETHERCON DAISY-CHAIN CAPABLE: Features etherCON input with parallel output for scalable expansion. Ideal for complex stage layouts, permanent installs, and professional studio equipment integration where flexibility and modular routing are essential.
- BUILT FOR TOURING & PRODUCTION: Machined anodized aluminum chassis with locking connectors ensures durability for demanding environments. A reliable solution for recording studio equipment, touring racks, and repeated setup and teardown situations.
- VERSATILE FOR AUDIO & DMX SYSTEMS: Compatible with analog audio, DMX, Clear-Com, and AES systems. Compact and efficient for live rigs, AV installs, and mobile dj kit setups that require organized signal management without bulky snakes.
The CAT Box Stage Box allows four lines of balanced analog audio to be run down a shielded CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 cable. The CAT Box is available in male XLR and female XLR versions. Multiple CAT Box Stage Boxes can be daisy chained to allow the same four analog channels to be dropped in multiple locations. Constructed of durable anodized aluminum with stainless steel screws to prevent rust. Uses four Neutrik XLR Connectors and two Neutrik etherCON connectors. It's low profile in-line design can be laid on its side, so cables lay flat on the floor and lower the cost of deploying long cable runs. Using shielded Cat5e reduces the cost of cable to less than 15% the cost of conventional 4 channel shielded audio snakes. Create four channel Male to Male, Female to Female or XLR "Y" XLR adapters by connecting various combinations of Cat Box male and female stage boxes. Covered by the Sound Tools "Happy Human" warranty. If for any reason you are not happy, send it back and we will refund. If it fails for any reason, we will ship you an advance replacement and a box to return the failed unit
