– Compatible with AES3, DMX, COM and other 3-pin XLR based signals

SIMPLIFY YOUR STAGE

Optimize your cabling system with the compact and durable SoundTools CAT Box featuring send and return lines. Minimize the number of cables required by running up to four channels of analog audio, DMX, AES3 or COM lines through a single shielded CAT cable. Featuring both male and female XLR connectors for easy signal return without turnarounds. Designed by sound humans to look great and function for a lifetime. The disconnectable CAT Box stage boxes can be daisy-chained and used in multiple configurations to build the optimum modular snake system.


VERSATILE SETUP

LESS CABLE CLUTTER

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. When combined with our SuperCAT or SuperCAT Sound cables, a snake built with CAT Boxes will cost approximately 15% what you’ll pay for an average audio snake using 4 XLR cables. 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.


VERSITILE SET UP

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
