Reinforce Your Live Sound

Designed for use with the TX4, the Radial Engineering Catapult RX4 is a snake that accepts 4 channels of analog or AES audio signals over Ethernet and routes them to the 8 provided XLR sockets. This is useful for live sound amplification applications, allowing live sound stage technicians to ensure high quality audio connections on large stages and venues using relatively inexpensive cables. It is also suitable for system providers who now have the ability to transmit audio in different rooms using pre-wired networks.

Catapult RX4 offers two banks of XLR channels with four channels each. This allows you to split the audio into multiple sources as needed. There are also two RJ45 type EtherCON connectors. One is a multi-channel input for use with his TX4 on the transmit side. Another is throughput, which can be implemented by routing signals to additional catapults. A ground lift switch helps eliminate noise problems on Cat 5 lines. A steel handle also makes it easy to carry, and four bumpers protect the Ethernet jack and ground lift switch from wear and tear.
