GEARit 4 Channel Multi-Network 3-Pin XLR/DMX/AES-EBU to Ethercon Compatible RJ45 Cat5/Cat6 Ethernet Extender for Live Stage, Sound, Lighting and Audio Recording Studio (1 Pair: 4XLR Male + 4XLR

These devices are very handy for certain situations. If pin 1 is needed, such as for phantom power, a shielded cable must be used. I’ve had good results using these over a long distance with high quality cable. Very low crosstalk between the pairs. The build quality is decent. Not the highest, but has held up well and at this price point, is certainly a good tool to have in the bag.

This item worked flawlessly. Just the initial feel of the item was solid just off the top. All the connections are a snug fit. I would definitely recommend.

We’ve been using a few of these for a year now, and we’ve had 0 issues with them. We’re using them to run mics (some of which require phantom power) and output from guitar DIs. These allow me to switch my mic configurations (using a couple of units) by simply unplugging Ethernet from one box and plugging it into the other one. We’re using straight up shielded Ethernet jacks (not ethercon), and everything’s been great. They certainly help us with quick configuration changes, and we’ve had no operational issues (i.e. no noticeable difference in output vs. going direct, and 48V works like a charm).

I have only used once so far but they worked great. It was easy to set up. Just connected the cat 6 canle between the two boxes, plugged all the mics in on stage and the xlrs from the board and it worked. Sound quality was was great from the 4 channels I had running through this digital snake.

love these.
