- What this product does - A pair of 4-channel XLR-to-RJ45 extenders that send four analog XLR audio signals over a single RJ45 (Ethernet) cable. Ideal for routing audio or stage lighting control from a stage to a remote mixer or lighting desk while cutting cost and cable clutter. (Cables not included; these are extenders only.) - Key benefits — why you need it - Reduce cable bulk and installation time by carrying four signals in one shielded Ethernet cable. - Save on costly multicore snakes or long runs of individual XLRs while keeping balanced audio integrity. - Quick to deploy and durable for live sound, rental, and fixed installations. - Main features - RJ45 connectors for professional audio, video and network environments. - Each adapter provides XLR connections: 3‑pin XLR plus a 6.35 mm (1/4") jack on the base plate. - Aluminum alloy, fully metal housing for rugged, long-lasting use. - Supports microphone and line-level signals with balanced analog/digital transmission for clear, high-quality sound and minimal residual noise. - Two adapters included to form a transmit/receive pair; all four signals run down one shielded, balanced Ethernet cable to the matching adapter. - Compatibility and performance - Works with standard 3‑pin XLR systems, mixers, microphones, instruments, speakers and lighting consoles that use XLR connections. - Designed for indoor and outdoor events when used with appropriate cable routing and protection. - Delivers balanced signal transmission to preserve audio quality over longer runs when used with quality shielded Ethernet cable. - Typical applications - Live concerts and theatre: route multiple stage microphones and line sources to a front-of-house mixer using one Cat cable instead of several XLR runs. - Touring and rental setups: connect stage instruments and DI boxes to a remote stage snake for fast rigging and teardown. - House of worship or conference AV: link stage lighting consoles or audio racks in different rooms without multiple bulky cables. - Important notes - Ethernet cable not included — use a shielded, balanced Cat5e/Cat6/Cat7 cable for best results. - Product consists of two adapters (transmitter and receiver) that together carry four analog XLR signals over one RJ45 cable. Specifications (concise) - Channels: 4 analog XLR channels over one RJ45 - Connectors: 3‑pin XLR and 6.35 mm (1/4") jack on XLR base; RJ45 network connector - Housing: aluminum alloy / full metal construction - Signal types: microphone and line-level, balanced transmission This extender pair offers a practical, durable solution to simplify multi-channel audio runs and remote signal routing while maintaining balanced audio quality.
