## Description

The SoundTools CAT Rack is a rack mount stage box capable of delivering up to 12 channels of audio and data from XLR or DMX sources over three CAT cable lines. Fully passive, these all-analog stage boxes are customizable to deliver the best in audio and data without interference or signal loss.

Review: It does what a passive connector panel should do, but $250 is way too expensive. They can charge this because nobody makes a similar product... yet.
Review: There seems to be no standard for wiring these devices. I use this rack kit with some Lynx products. Ch1 & 4 are "correct" except Ch1 is out of phase. Ch 2 & 3 are "crossed". I had to make an adapter to fix Ch1's phase (by crossing pins 2 & 3 in the XLR connector. The attached photo shows the 3 right angle adapters plugged into channels A1, B1, and C1.

*by K***N on 8 December 2024*

I install this in my rack. I have several Lyx cat xlr boxes. The wiring didn't match. In the first four xlr jacks. Only 2 of the four matched. I determine this with a cable tester. When I say they didn't match I'm talking about pin 1 2 and 3
