CAT Box FX - 4-Channel Female XLR Stage Box with Shielded CAT5e Cable for Analog Audio, DMX, Clear-Com & AES | Professional Live Sound & Stage Production Equipment

The Perfect Stage Box The SoundTools CAT Box isn’t your average stage drop box. We’ve designed it to be one of the most versatile audio-over-Cat units on the market. CAT Boxes are manufactured from machined anodized aluminum and finished with stainless steel screws, so they are rust-resistant and rugged enough to handle life on stage. Stylish black and red coloring is finished with a laser-etched SoundTools logo. Less Cable Clutter Minimize the number of cables required by running up to four channels of audio and data from XLR, DMX, or AES3 lines through a single shielded CAT line. Parallel Allows For Daisy Chaining The disconnectable CAT Box stage boxes can be daisy-chained and used in multiple configurations to build the perfect snake. Now you can run four isolated channels of clear audio or com down a single shielded Cat5e or better cable, and even increase the distance of your lines. We’ve successfully run balanced analog over 600 feet with our SuperCAT cable in our workshop. Not all disconnects are created equally. Because of its design, the SoundTools CAT Box can be used in a multitude of applications. -Use for bi-directional audio and COM for small stage or presentation applications -Use as a low-cost hard-wire split -Daisy-chain units and drop each channel in a different location -Use as an XLR-to-Cat conversion box to lower cable costs -Utilize Cat5 wiring in building installations to quickly set up audio in conference rooms Reusable Packaging All CAT Boxes come in a sturdy red box with a removable insert that can be used to safely store your CAT Box or even repurposed for other storage!
