Radial Catapult TX4 4ch transmitter, with balanced i/o, uses shielded cat-5
The Radial Catapult TX4 is a 4-channel snake which is designed for allowing the user to route XLR connections across long distances with the use of the Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable, without worrying about signal degradation. The Radial Catapult TX4 is very useful to use in live-sound reinforcement applications, as it is allowing live sound stage techs to use relatively affordable cable for securing the quality audio connections around the large venues and stages. it is also perfect for system contractors, who can now employs pre-wired networks to move audio throughout disparate rooms.
Straight-wire passive operation
Catapult modules require no power to operate, and since they keep the signal in the analog realm, no digital conversion is necessary. Straight-wire connection from the XLRs to the RJ45 connector on a Cat 5 cable ensures that your audio passes through without coloration or distortion.
Utilize pre-existing cable installations
As many buildings are already pre-wired for Cat 5, you can take advantage of this to transmit audio between distant rooms without the need to install or supply new cabling. This eliminates the need for bulky and expensive multi-channel audio cable, and allows contractors to benefit from installed network cable and easily connect from one room to another.
Features
- Send four channels of analog audio over a single Cat 5/6 cable
- Works with a building’s existing cable infrastructure
- Choice of direct-wired or transformer isolated splits
- Economical Cat 5/6 cable replaces bulky multi-channel audio snakes
