Description

The Radial Catapult X4 and RX4 act like a typical four-channel analog audio snake; they allow you to send mic or line-level signals from one location to another without signal loss, noise, or interference, and without any digital audio conversion needed. 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.

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

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.

Mix & Match to add transformer isolation – Any pair of Transmit and Receive units across the full Catapult range will be compatible with one another. The standard Catapult also includes some additional model variations, for creating a custom snake designed for your unique application.
