LyxPro XLR 3 Feet Audio Snake 4 Channel 3 Pin Multi Network Breakout for Stage and Recording Studio Female Connection, Great for Sound and Lighting Transfer

What an amazing product! I bought both the male and female version for a long run to some ambient mics. The Cat6 shielded cable was as quiet as using a direct mic cable and way more convenient to run. We will be using these for outdoor events when we just need a couple of mics instead of dragging out that heavy snake again. Super product and an excellent value.

These are surprisingly high quality for the price. Granted the XLRs are Neutrik or Switchcraft but the build is surprisingly good. I've used them for Com, DMX and Mic/Line runs. You need a shielded ethernet cable in order to use phantom power for condenser mic.

So, these things are great overall. They’re made pretty well with overall decent cabling and connectors and solid metal boxes that will hold up.I got one that was quite noisy, so I returned it. Then two others I own developed a similar noisiness.I have an electronics repair background…the noise in my other boxes sounded like a bad capacitor to me, so I opened them to see, figuring I could replace a component for a few cents. Surprisingly, there are no electronic components at all… This is a totally passive pass-through box… The problem apparently is that occasionally some loose wire strands can get in the way and create issues…and the connectors, while OK, aren’t the greatest on the planet. With a little cleaning up and trimming up of those stray strands and a little bit of touchup resoldering, my noisy units are now completely silent and and they work very well, as advertised.I almost dumped these and bought much much more expensive name brand units. But realizing that there are literally no electronics at all inside made me feel very glad I did not. The difference between this box and a $100 plus box is due to the cost difference of the connectors and housing, but mostly it’s the touchy time-consuming labor that goes into soldering this thing up internally. There are a lot of solder connections happening on that very small, not-the- greatest-quality RJ45 connector, and after reworking mine, I’m not even upset at the assembly line guy that has to spend his day putting these things together. What a pain in the butt for the assembler.If I were on the road with these, connecting and disconnecting and throwing them in road cases and stepping on them all the time, i’m probably springing for the really expensive ones. But these are hooked up in my studio and don’t get that kind of abuse. They do an incredible job, and I have no substantial complaints about their audio quality or build quality at all, other than the fact that they may need some TLC. In fact, in the last few years, I haven’t really bought anything that I’ve not had to improve, repair or modify some detail right out of the box…

These are a HUGE time saver for drum mics!! I purchased several of these for wiring a large drum set. The set is on a Voelker rack and the mic cables stay attached to the rack in two separate snakes. I am using 3 sets of these connected to a Kat Rack module (which i also highly recommend!). I now only have to run and plug in 3 cat 6 cables instead of 12 microphone cables. I use Kick, Snare, Hi-Hat, Ride, 3 rack toms, 2 floor toms, an overhead mic and also run a stereo monitor mix via 2 xlr cables. All that goes through 3 of these and just 3 cat 6 cables to run. I also have 3 more that stay attached to the xlr cables/snake for another set that doesn't use the rack. And finally, I use another set of these to run from an SPD-SX to a single cat 6 cable. I've been using them for several months with absolutely no issues. I can't recommend these enough!

I bought thinngs from this company before and quality was average.. I ended up going with Redco for cable and both RJ45 XLR male and female ends.. I use these 2 to 3 times a week with a band I work for. I boought this female unit as a backup since the Redco has been getting beat up for long time now.. Last night on gig it failed so I grabbed this LyxPro at soundcheck and nothing.. I assume either the wiring pinout is diffferent then the Cat5/6 cablee from Redco or the other end of Redco Male RJ45 to XLR. but either way I had to run all singlee line XLR to our ears rack to make it work. So sending this back. Maybe it's fine with both ends made by Lyx.. but in a pinch that sucked and I sort of don't like that they make their pigtail is long.

I config this device to my Behringer X32 mixer as a AES50 B, no way to have +48V phantom power to the mic..

This works perfectly. 4 channels of audio over a single CAT5 cable running about 100'. Saved my hide where we had a CAT5 cable run but would have cost a fortune to run 4 XLR cables
