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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStraight-wire passive operation\u003c\/strong\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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUtilize pre-existing cable installations\u003c\/strong\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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMix \u0026amp; Match\u003c\/strong\u003eThree versions of the Catapult Mini are available: The Mini TX features female XLR connectors, the Mini RX has male XLRs, and the Mini TRS is equipped with ¼\" TRS jacks for balanced connection to any pro audio device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the Radial Catapult modules are compatible with each other, and each is sold individually, so you can select whichever combination best suits your needs. The Catapult Mini RX and TX can be used together as a pair, creating a compact 4-channel audio snake. However, if you prefer to have a stage box to plug microphones into, but want a compact breakout cable that fits in the case with the mixer, combine the Catapult TX4 with the Catapult Mini RX. A variety of modules allow you to customize your transmit and receive devices to suit any application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSend four channels of analog audio over a Cat 5\/6 cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable with XLRM, XLRF or ¼\" TRS connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with a building’s existing cable infrastructure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight, yet durable and rugged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEconomical Cat 5\/6 cable replaces bulky multichannel audio snakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemale XLR Inputs (Catapult Mini TX): Connect to balanced mic or line level sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRJ45 Output (Catapult Mini TX): Sends analog audio over Cat 5 or Cat 6 Ethernet cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor-Coded Heatshrink Labels: Identify channels at a glance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel Chassis: 16-gauge steel housing to handle any touring environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder Coat: Durable coat keeps your Catapult Mini looking great for years.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpando Mesh Sheating: Provides extra durability and protects cables from damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio circuit type: Passive splitter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 7Hz ~ 20KHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range: 140dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal harmonic distortion: 0.0005% @ 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon Mode Rejection Ratio: \u0026gt;103dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Input: +35dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Connectors: XLR, TRS, RJ45 (model dependant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Connectors: XLR, TRS, RJ45 (model dependant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeneral\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: 16-gauge steel chassis \u0026amp; outer shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize (L x W x D): 4.125\" x 1.56\" x 1.31\" (105 x 40 x 33mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.85lb (0.4kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping size (L x W x D): 6.25\" x 4.25\" x 3\" (159 x 108 x 76mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping weight: 1.1lb (0.5kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: Passive, no power required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConditions: For use in dry locations only between 5°C and 40°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"815\" height=\"458\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kVQh7dlJNAw\" title=\"Do Audio Cables Affect Sound Quality?\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radial Engineering","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":31589186306096,"sku":"CATAPULT-MINI-TRS","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/2631\/5568\/products\/CATAPULT-MINI-TRS.jpg?v=1582592572","url":"https:\/\/shop.solotech.com\/en-uk\/products\/radial-catapult-mini-analog-snake","provider":"Solotech","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
