Overview
SONET4: Cat5
System - 4 in / 4 out
The new 'so.net' Sound-over-Ethernet System
has been designed to simplify and speed up
installations where multiple microphone inputs
or line level inputs need to be situated a distance
from the amplifier equipment.
Types of installation include churches, schools,
theatres and corporate boardrooms.
It is an extremely versatile and cost effective
installation device that removes the need for
multiple cable runs from remote audio inputs to
the amplifier equipment. The SONET4 System can
transmit up to four microphone or line level signals
down one screened Cat5e cable for up to 1000m.
Each input and output can be independently
configured for balanced or unbalanced signals
as well as line level or microphone level. There is
also an option to provide phantom power to the
microphone inputs independently.
Each unit fits neatly into a standard UK double-
gang back box (minimum depth 47mm) and only
requires a power supply at the output or amplifier
end (PSU supplied as part of system).
Features:
• Reduces installation time
• Up to 1000m between Input and Output plates
• Very high interference immunity
• Balanced or unbalanced inputs & outputs
• Line or Microphone level inputs & outputs
• Phantom powering
• Four XLR sockets on standard 2 gang plates
• No power required at input module
• Power supply included as part of system
