Radial Engineering CATapult Mini TX 4-Channel Audio Over CAT5 Cable Transmitter

The Catapult Mini™ TX is the compact transmitting component of Radial® Engineering's Catapult Mini™, a Cat 5/6 analog audio snake system that is designed to reduce onstage clutter, simplify setups, and take advantage of pre-existing wire infrastructure.

This gear is engineered to act like the transmitting end of a typical 4-channel analog audio snake, enabling you to send mic or line-level signals from one location to another without experiencing signal loss, noise, or interference, and with no digital audio conversion required. This is the component made to transmit the signals to a receiving component such as the Catapult Mini RX (sold separately). Rather than using multi-channel analog audio cable which can be unwieldy and expensive, the Catapult system lets you employ widely available, lightweight, and economical Cat 5 Ethernet cable. Just connect a shielded Cat 5 cable between any 2 matched Catapult modules and they'll use the cable's analog conductors to deliver 4 balanced audio lines to any destination. And considering many buildings are already Cat 5 pre-wired, you can take advantage of this to transmit audio between distant rooms with no need to install or supply new cable. And because the Catapult system is modular, you're able to mix and match varying transmit and receive boxes to best fit your situation.

Ditch the typically unwieldy and expensive audio snakes and send your signals over Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable instead with the Catapult Mini TX!
