What makes the Catapult system unique is that it utilizes Cat 5 Ethernet cable, which is widely available, lightweight, and economical. Simply connect a shielded Cat 5 cable between any two Catapult modules and they will use the analog conductors in the cable to deliver four balanced audio lines to any destination.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eSTRAIGHT-WIRE PASSIVE OPERATION\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCatapult 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.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eUTILIZE PRE-EXISTING CABLE INSTALLATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eAPPLICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSING THE MINI TRS WITH THE MINI RX\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Mini TRS has 1\/4” balanced connectors commonly found on rackmount interfaces and other compact pro audio equipment, allowing you to match connector types without the need for adaptor cables.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSE THE CATAPULTS WITH PRE-EXISTING CAT 5 WIRING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eUse the Ethernet cables already wired throughout a building to send audio from one room to the other without additional installation required or messy cables running from room to room. Note that the signals between two Catapult modules cannot pass through a network switch, as it will block the analog audio signal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radial Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451037675623,"sku":"215297","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/radial-engineering-catapult-mini-trs-4-channel-cat-5-audio-snake-24_215297_1_3080d522-9dc0-463b-afb5-24ecdf67d4d3.jpg?v=1787095580","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/radial-engineering-catapult-mini-trs-4-channel-cat-5-audio-snake","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
