Features SIMPLIFY YOUR STAGE Complete your Stage Snake system with the compact and durable SoundTools CAT Box. Minimize the number of cables needed by running up to four audio and data channels of XLR, DMX or AES3 lines over a single shielded CAT line. Designed by audio experts to look great and perform for a lifetime. Detachable CAT Box Stage boxes can be connected in series and used in multiple configurations to build the perfect snake. LESS CABLE CLUTTER The SoundTools CAT Box is not your average stage drop box. We 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 a CAT box costs about 15% of the price you would pay for an average audio snake with 4 XLR cables. You can now run 4 independent channels of clear audio or COM over a single shielded Cat5e or higher cable, and you can even extend the distance of your line. Sound Tools have successfully run balanced analog signals over 600 feet in their workshop using SuperCAT cables. VERSATILE 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 CREATED WITH EXPERIENCE SoundTools is founded and run by other audio professionals just like you.
