LyxPro 4 Channel 3 Pin Multi Network XLR Cable Breakout for Stage Sound Lighting and Recording Studio Male and Female to RJ45 Ethercon

I've purchased six of these over the last couple of months. I've used all six of the female XLR ends, and I've used only two of the male ends. In all cases I've used the version with 4 wires (fan out) instead of these stage boxes on the other end. So even though I've stockpiled 4 unused male ends, I still find these to be cost effective. I've run 150' CAT6 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) with these with no noticeable noise or cross-talk, even when I turn up the gain on an unused channel and boost the headphone volume on my mixer. I would guess the cross-talk is at least 80dB down, and that is perfectly appropriate for all of my sound system needs. I've taken most of these apart to drill holes in the back and permanently mount them around the chancels of churches. They are well constructed inside with a good quality circuit board that connects all five connectors. To take one apart, undo the four screws on the end with the Cat6 connector and pull that end straight out so that the front panel with the 4XLRs slides out with it. Then mount the empty box and slide the connectors back in to close it up. I'm also carrying a female box end and a male fan-out end in my mobile sound system. I find it faster and much easier to run a single Cat6 cable compared to running a multi-core snake or 4 mic lines. It is very easy to carry 4 Cat6 cables of various lengths, and use the smallest one that reaches. These make my whole stage look neater.

Tengo usandolos un tiempo y funcionan muy bien, si requieres conecar mas de 1 microfono a una distancia considerable te ahorras dinero en comprar varios cables ya que con solo un cable FTP que facilmente puedes cubrir con una canaleta discreta es suficiente.

Not good

The price and effortless setup of these almost made it seem too good to be true! These work GREAT and since only a single CAT-6 cable is needed to link them, I could tuck the cable under my home studio baseboards so it's completely invisible as it runs along my room to the snake output in the far corner. Sound quality is great, durability is great, phantom power works great, they use quality locking connectors. I used a third-party 25ft Shielded CAT-6 cable to save some money over the LyxPro branded one.

These use 2 cores for each XLR so obviously your audio signal becomes unbalanced and you will hear unwanted noise
