Radial Catapult Rack RX

The Catapult Rack RX is a 12-channel analog audio receiver designed to transport mic- or line-level signals over standard Cat 5 cable without signal loss, added noise, interference, or digital conversion. By utilizing the twisted-pair conductors inside the Ethernet cable, the system functions as a high-quality multi-channel analog snake. The 12 XLR connections are divided into three independent 4-channel banks. Each bank includes a dedicated ground lift switch for eliminating noise and hum, along with rear-panel RJ45 connectors. A single Cat 5 cable carries four balanced audio channels, allowing up to 12 channels to be transmitted using three Ethernet cables. The Catapult Rack RX can be used with other Catapult Rack units or Radial Catapult stage boxes to create a flexible, fully customizable analog snake system for live sound, installed audio, and broadcast applications.
