XLR Over Ethernet 4 Channel Snake Ethercon Cat6 DMX 2ft Breakout

I guess I've been under a rock, but when did CAT6 network cable take over from those heavy, cumbersome 150' audio snakes? These things are the best idea/implentation since the invention of um... hampster wheels. Solid workmanship and zero noise. Excellent build quality. I run a 16-channel rack-mounted digital mixer w/ powered subs and cabs rig that I run from stage while playing perfectly awful bass guitar. I bought two of these GEARit units and plugged them into channels 9-16 (see pic). I intend to get two more and fill all 16 channels. The cables pass through an empty rack space with the "box" ends velcroed solidly to the bottom of the rack and aligned with the back (sans cover). The front and back covers of this particular road case are deep enough to allow all of this wiring to remain in place when I rig down. When I have the other two GEARit units, I will be able to set this rack in place, pop off the covers, run four CAT6 network cables to 4x breakout boxes placed strategically around the stage and plug everything in with short-run XLR cables. I'll be set up in no time and even quicker tearing down. Talk about cable management! I LOVE a neat, trip-free stage. While you're at it, don't skimp on the network cables. Go with the GEARit Shielded CAT6 Ethercon Cables. Heavy-duty and the Ethercon connectors shroud the RJ45 network connectors in a solid metal housing (much like an XLR) and lock in place. Totally roadworthy. Look for bundles of GEARit boxes and cables with your choice of cable length and breakout configurations. Solid gear. Oh, yeah. They can also be used to connect your DMX lighting. Bloody wizardry.

Great performance units! I have several pairs that I use for analog audio and DMX lighting. I always use the Gear-It brand breakouts and their shielded Ethercon's. Well-built and have had zero problems with these. I did purchase other brands at half the price. Do yourself a favor, DONT BUY THE CHEAPER ONES! Get these. You will be happy. Best, Ken - Indiana

Works exactly as advertised. Perfect for an older church that doesn't have the money, space or hardware for running a snake. Great price!

Seems to be a decently built product and I've used it several times on several gigs with varying lengths of ethercon cable and so far I have been quite impressed with it. Great value for money sound quality is not decreased it has great ease of use and works well!

Reliable and super easy setup. Helped us cut down on total number of microphone cabeling.

For the most part, I loved this. It came in handy when I needed to mic a small setup and have an extension to run it to the analog mixer at the school. My only complaint about it was one of the channel line's prongs were off-centered. So, only three lines I could use and I couldn't the fourth one to the XLR cable. Having to pay the amount that I did, I'm only able to use 3 out of 4 of the product. Aside from that, the quality came out fantastic in terms of sound. No feedback or hissing.

Worked great, I used it to run 4 monitors on stage using a cat6 50' cable. Work perdect and no delay. Much better and lighter than bringing a 50' snake

I ordered the version with tails and it as described, and functioned without issue. However, I want a purchase option where I can buy male with tails and female as a box. This allows the box to be plugged in to the mixer, while not having a clean setup on stage. I did contact the company but had zero response, so knocking off 2 stars for poor customer service. I cannot be the only customer wanting this option.

Buy this with confidence. It works like a champ. I'm using it with a Cat7 (grounded) cable and three was no detectable noise. I'll probably buy another one. You won't regret this purchase.

Funcionan bastante bien, con los cables correctos puedes enviar muy bien la señal, ya sea 48v o señal "normal". El cable se siente un poco delicado, pero cuidándolos bien son perfectos. Los uso para micrófonos de condensador y dinámicos y no tengo ningún problema utilizo un cable ethercon de 22 mts de otra marca. Funciona genial.

Works perfectly good, solid product

Excelente producto, lo ocupo para shows en vivo y sin problema, muy buen sistema
