SONET4: Cat5 Audio Distribution System - 4 in / 4 out

The new ‘so.net’ Sound-over-Ethernet System has been designed to simplify and speed up installations where multiple microphone inputs or line level inputs need to be situated a distance from the amplifier equipment.

Types of installation include churches, schools, theatres and corporate boardrooms.

It is an extremely versatile and cost effective installation device that removes the need for multiple cable runs from remote audio inputs to the amplifier equipment. The SONET4 System can transmit up to four microphone or line level signals down one screened Cat5e cable for up to 1000m.

Each input and output can be independently configured for balanced or unbalanced signals as well as line level or microphone level. There is also an option to provide phantom power to the microphone inputs independently.

Each unit fits neatly into a standard UK double-gang back box and only requires a power supply at the output or amplifier end (PSU supplied as part of system).

Features:
Reduces installation time
Up to 1000m between Input and Output plates
Very high interference immunity
Balanced or unbalanced inputs & outputs
Line or Microphone level inputs & outputs
Phantom powering (max. 15v DC)
Four XLR sockets on standard 2 gang plates
No power required at input module
Power supply included as part of system

Protected against short circuit on Cat5 cable to ground

PLEASE NOTE:
When using Cat5 UTP (unshielded) cable, the So.Net system is only capable of transferring up to 3 channels.
STP (shielded) Cat5 cable will allow for the maximum 4 channels.
