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

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).

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.

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.

This product works like it says. I wish one side that connects to the mixer were cables instead of a box. I had to buy XLR cables to connect to the mixer. I saw other brands that did it, but wanted to stick to GEARit. Otherwise, it works well.

excellent !!!

Great price and very well built. Work as advertised

I've only recently started using these, but I really like them. I use them, together with a pair of the fan tail version connected to a mixer, as small send and return stage boxes. They've cleaned up and made the cabling easier to set up for performances. And since you can get flat ethernet cable I can run the "snake" right up the centre, taped flat on the floor under a mat, without causing discomfort to those who are sitting or walking on the floor. I only have one wish... Right now these are sold only in pairs. It would be great if they (as well as the fantail versions) could be purchased individually so that one could buy only what they need to set up the send and return scenario they require.

It absolutely did what I needed it for with no fuss whatsoever! I wish everything worked as well as this does!

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.

Funcional.

love these.

Me han funcionado perfectamente, y he mejorado mucho en la limpieza de los escenarios, al momento de tirar lineas de cables de micrófonos. Con cables de red blindados STP (he comprado varios de la marca UGREEN, aquí en Amazon), funcionan a la perfección, inclusive puedo enviar 48 v para micrófonos de condensador. Muy contento con mi compra, y mas adelante, definitivamente compraré mas.
