The solution for tidy, low-cost audio distribution. Cranborne Audio's N22 is a standalone 4 channel Cat 5 snake and advanced audio distribution system using C.A.S.T. Put simply, Cranborne Audio N22 replaces 4 balanced XLR cables with 1 shielded Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 7 cable over distances of up to 100m.
Featuring Cranborne Audio's own C.A.S.T. system, the N22 distributes audio around studios or stages by repurposing the internal copper wires of shielded Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 7 cable to transport balanced analogue audio to and from other C.A.S.T. enabled products - such as another Cranborne Audio N22. Using a shielded Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 7 cable instead of 4 XLRs allows you to not only reduce cable spaghetti in your studio but also distribute audio around studios or stages using affordable, readily available network cabling whilst achieving the highest sonic results due to their strict design standards.
Perhaps best of all, Cranborne Audio N22 is completely passive and requires no external power in order to transport audio at the highest quality level over the longest distances. Each C.A.S.T. connection on a Cranborne Audio product features unique optimisation to ensure that the maximum signal integrity is transmitted over shielded Cat 5, Cat 6, and Cat 7 cables for distances of up to 100m (330ft) without high-end roll-off and with very low-crosstalk.
Cranborne Audio's C.A.S.T. system is fully-able to transfer 48v, phantom power from a preamp to N22/N22H to power condenser microphones and DI boxes. Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 7 cables are designed to transfer much higher voltages and current than 48v, so one C.A.S.T. cable can easily transfer up to 4 separate phantom power lines in your studio or live space.
