The CAT Box Stage Box allows four lines of balanced analog audio to be run down a shielded CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 cable. The CAT Box is available in male XLR and female XLR versions. Multiple CAT Box Stage Boxes can be daisy chained to allow the same four analog channels to be dropped in multiple locations. Constructed of durable anodized aluminum with stainless steel screws to prevent rust. Uses four Neutrik XLR Connectors and two Neutrik etherCON connectors. It's low profile in-line design can be laid on its side, so cables lay flat on the floor and lower the cost of deploying long cable runs. Using shielded Cat5e reduces the cost of cable to less than 15% the cost of conventional 4 channel shielded audio snakes. Create four channel Male to Male, Female to Female or XLR "Y" XLR adapters by connecting various combinations of Cat Box male and female stage boxes. Covered by the Sound Tools "Happy Human" warranty. If for any reason you are not happy, send it back and we will refund.

- 4 CHANNEL XLR - This is an all-analog, fully passive drop box that can be input directly into analog or digital consoles. Each CAT Box Unit has 4 XLR ins or outs (available in both male and female configurations) as well as an etherCON input and parallel etherCON output (allows for daisy-chaining).
- DURABLE - CAT Boxes are manufactured with high quality Neutrik connectors, machined anodized aluminum and finished with stainless steel screws, so they are rust-resistant and rugged enough to handle life on stage.
- MODULAR - The CAT Box can be used in a multitude of applications. Compatible with DMX, COM and other 3-pin XLR based COM systems. Using shielded Cat5e or better cable allows phantom power use through the system.
