Distribution Hub\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eN8 is an advanced audio distribution hub that uses Cranborne Audio’s C.A.S.T. system to transform network cable (Cat 5e, Cat 6, or Cat 7) into 4-channel analogue snakes and breakout boxes that can be routed around the studio or stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet N8 in your control room and patch directly to the IO of your audio interface via DB25. N8 then converts analogue IO from the audio interface into 4 discrete C.A.S.T. connections that can be distributed to C.A.S.T. breakout boxes such as N22 and N22H in your studio or on the stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a real-world example, a vocal booth created with XLRs, would require 2 XLR cables for microphones, 2 more XLR cables for a stereo monitor mix for the singer, and a headphone amp with power. And after that, unless you're handy with a soldering iron, you'll be left with trailing XLRs and no discrete box to patch to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eN8 and C.A.S.T. replaces all of that complexity with one networking cable and neat, compact breakout boxes over distances up to 100m (330ft).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing Input and Output connectors on DB25, N8 converts 8 analogue inputs and 8 analogue outputs to Cranborne Audio’s proprietary C.A.S.T. system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 4 dedicated C.A.S.T. ports, N8 allows up to 4 Cranborne Audio breakout boxes to be connected at once for 16 channels of audio routing with any audio interface, mixer, or audio installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAudio Over Cat 5 Made Easy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single Cat 5 cable using C.A.S.T. can replace 4 XLR cables - providing better cable management, consistent sound quality, and easier deployment during mobile recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing N8 and C.A.S.T., you can use standard network cables to distribute IO, headphone amps. mic preamps, and more around your studio with plug-and-play simplicity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cranborne Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54725292294467,"sku":"CA-N8","price":1360.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/4090\/7587\/files\/CA-N8_1.jpg?v=1786615623","url":"https:\/\/www.soundstorexl.dk\/products\/cranborne-audio-n8","provider":"SoundStoreXL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
