Radial Engineering Catapult Rack TX Passive Analog Audio Snake Transmitter – Rackmount Cat5/6 Multi-Channel Line-Level Signal Distribution Interface for Studio and Live Systems

The Radial Engineering Catapult Rack TX Passive Analog Audio Snake Transmitter is a professional rackmount Cat 5/6 multi-channel audio transmission system designed for efficient distribution of multiple line-level signals in studio, live sound, broadcast, and installed audio environments.

This 19-inch rack unit provides up to 12 channels of balanced line-level audio transmission, converting standard analog signals into a format that can travel over a single shielded Cat 5, Cat 5e, or Cat 6 cable. This dramatically reduces the need for heavy multicore analog snakes while maintaining clean, low-noise signal integrity across all channels.

At the stage or source end, the unit accepts inputs via balanced XLR-F connectors, making it easy to interface directly with mixing consoles, stageboxes, patch systems, or audio interfaces. The signals are then transmitted through Cat 5/6 cabling to a compatible Catapult receiver, where they are converted back into standard analog audio outputs.

As a passive system, the Catapult Rack TX requires no external power, enhancing reliability and simplifying deployment in both fixed installations and touring environments. Its design ensures transparent signal transfer with excellent noise rejection and minimal coloration.

The rackmount format makes it ideal for professional system integration, offering a clean and organized solution for managing multi-channel audio routing in complex setups.
