Radial Engineering has announced the Catapult Mini TX and RX – the latest additions to its modular Catapult snake system.
Catapult Mini provides the ability to drive four analogue audio channels over a single shielded Cat5 cable. The Catapult Mini TX (transmitter) and RX (receiver) both feature a compact steel chassis with a hardwired fan-out to four XLR connectors, providing a simple and rugged solution for delivering balanced analogue audio between any two destinations without signal loss or degradation.
The Catapult system connects via Cat5 Ethernet cable which is widely available, lightweight, and economical. As many buildings are already pre-wired for Cat5, the Catapult Minis can take advantage of this to easily transmit audio between distant rooms without the need to install or supply new cabling. This eliminates the need for bulky and expensive multi-channel audio cable and allows contractors to use installed network cable and easily connect from one room to another.
All of the Radial Catapult modules are compatible with each other, and each is sold individually, providing the option to mix and match as needed. The Catapult Mini TX and RX can be used together as a pair to create a compact four-channel audio snake, or they can be matched with other Catapult modules that include splitting capabilities or transformer isolation - allowing selection of whichever combination best suits a particular application.
The Catapult Mini TX and RX are now shipping, with an MAP of US$89.99.
