Radial Catapult RX4

The Catapult RX4 Audio Snake from Radial is ideally suited for transmitting audio signals via standard Cat 5 / 6 lines as well as splitting up to 8 XLR outputs. In connection with the TX models, stage technicians thus have the opportunity to implement uncomplicated audio transmissions over long stage distances or existing network infrastructures.

In general, the Music Store offers catapult boxes in six different configurations (three INput and three Output modules each). Each input module has four XLR inputs, four XLR thrusts and two Neutrik Ethercon outputs to connect a CAT5 cable to connect an output module. The latter have an RJ45 Ethercon input as well as Thru and two sets of XLR outputs. They can be purchased without sub-snakes or AES signal transformers, with mic isolation transformers for signal splitting between FOH, monitors and recording system, or line-level isolation transformers to eliminate noise. The integrated switch allows each end of the Ethernet cable to be grounded to prevent hum from ground loops.

The RX4 is an output module without transformer.

Also worth mentioning is the solid, powder-coated steel housing, which does justice to every demanding stage routine. A two-sided PCB was used to attach components such as transformers and connectors with double the number of solder points.
