Pair of 4‑Channel XLR-to-RJ45 Audio Extenders Why you need it - Send four separate XLR audio signals over a single shielded RJ45 cable to reduce cable clutter, lower setup time and installation cost, and simplify long runs between stage and FOH or lighting and audio desks. - Maintain clear, noise‑free transmission for microphones, mixers and instruments in both temporary and permanent installations. Key benefits - Consolidates up to four balanced audio channels into one standard RJ45 link for easier routing and faster setup. - Durable all‑metal housing (aluminum alloy) and highly integrated construction for reliable use in touring, rental, and fixed installations. - Compatible with professional audio, video and network cabling practices when using shielded, balanced Ethernet cable (cable not included). Main features - Connectors: RJ45 input/output for network cable; XLR base plug with 3‑pin XLR and 6.35 mm (1/4") female ports on the adapter housing for direct connection to mixers, microphones, instruments and speakers. - Function: Two adapters act as a transmitter/receiver pair to forward four analog XLR audio signals over a single RJ45 cable. - Channels: 4 independent audio channels carried over one cable. - Signal types: Works with 3‑pin XLR systems at microphone or line levels. - Transmission: Designed for balanced digital/analog transmission to minimize residual noise across indoor and outdoor environments. - Build: Aluminum alloy, all‑metal housing for durability and shielding in professional environments. Compatibility and performance - Works with standard 3‑pin XLR gear (microphones, mixers, DI boxes) and 6.35 mm instrument/source connections present on the adapter. - Requires a shielded, balanced Ethernet cable (RJ45, not included) for proper balanced transmission and noise rejection. - Intended for professional audio use cases including stage, studio patching, and AV installations. Practical use scenarios - Live show: Route four stage microphone or DI signals from the stage to FOH using one shielded RJ45 run, then split back to individual XLR inputs at the mixer. - Touring/rental: Replace multiple long XLR snakes with a single lightweight Ethernet cable between front-of-house and stage or between lighting and audio racks to simplify setup and teardown. - Fixed installation: Feed multiple mic/line sources from a remote stage or rehearsal room to a central mixing location with less conduit and cleaner cable management. What to know before you buy - Product operates as a pair of adapters that transmit four analog XLR channels over one RJ45 cable. - Shielded balanced Ethernet cable is required but not included. - Designed for balanced microphone and line‑level signals using standard 3‑pin XLR wiring. This solution provides a compact, rugged way to extend and consolidate multiple XLR audio lines over standard RJ45 cabling while preserving signal integrity and reducing installation complexity.
