Review: I recently purchased the SoundTools Cat Box MX and Cat Box FX to streamline audio connections for my live sound setup, and I couldn’t be more impressed. These units provide a reliable and high-quality solution for sending multiple channels of balanced audio over a single CAT5/CAT6 cable, significantly reducing clutter and setup time.

## Features

- 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.
- EASY SET UP - When set on its side, the CAT Box allows cables to lay flat for a cleaner set up. Our clearly-labeled ins and outs simplify set up and tear down, making this the stage drop box you’ll be reaching for again and again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use this to send two audio channels and receive two audio channels at the same time?**
A: Yes, with a couple of gender turnarounds you can easily send and receive audio over shielded cable.

**Q: Two questions. It says to use with sheilded cat 5-6 cable. Is this a requirement? Is it bi-directional?**
A: I ran it about 400’, bi-directional. It worked flawlessly. I was so impressed. We essentially had a large event with 2 separate audio rooms running. I tied both together running aux outs of each mixer to a couple channels in without an issue at all. No extra noise (buzz, hiss)!  Ran it again one direction using it to have the wireless mic receivers at the stage, with the mixer several hundred feet away.  Will by more!

**Q: does microphones work with this catbox**
A: Yes, you can use a microphones with the CAT Box system. You would need a female (CAT BOX FX) to connect to the microphone's XLR cable and a male (CAT BOX MX) on the other end of your shielded/grounded CAT cable that you can connect to your PA.

**Q: Are the tx & rx capable of sending 48v phantom power or do you have a model that does?? These look perfect for my setup!!**
A: This model is capable of 48V phantom power right now! Just make sure you are using shielded cable and you're good to go.
