Happy February Sound Humans!

This year has started strong, following the successful launch of our latest CAT Tails TRS. We remain committed to expanding and offering a wide range of products that provide our users with the customizability and flexibility they need for their audio setups.

We’re also excited to share some fantastic news from our ever-growing SoundTools portfolio.

SoundTools and Align Array

We are pleased to announce that SoundTools has acquired the Align Array laser/inclinometer brand. Align Array specializes in advanced laser leveling systems for line array sound systems offering remote management through a web application. This strategic addition to SoundTools aligns with our ongoing mission to provide high-quality, reliable tools to help users successfully achieve their audio project goals.

New Products Coming Soon

Coming soon, SoundTools [NAME PENDING], a solid-core, installation-grade fire rated CAT6a cable designed for top-tier analog/digital performance. Building on our already diverse and widely trusted range of CAT cables, this solution is crafted for users who demand the highest quality for their installations. The new [NAME PENDING] cable is engineered to carry high speed data well beyond 100 meters while meeting and exceeding CAT6A and CAT7 specifications. Featuring individually shielded twisted pairs and certified fire-resistant jacketing for use in plenum spaces.
We also have a new gray jacket version of SuperCAT XM coming soon for applications where cable visibility is an issue. Select SuperCAT XM Red when you need your cable to stand out. Use SuperCAT XM Gray when you need it to blend in.

Message from Dave Rat

Hey hey Sound Tools partners, thank you all and a heads up on what I am working on. The Sound Tools Time Sniffer Sender project is progressing and we are moving out of the software based proof of function to the portable prototype phase. There is nothing else like it on the market and more info on this exciting and unique product coming soon. 

One of the foundational advantages of Sound Tools product development is that unlike most manufacturers, Sound Tools has access to both a sound system rental company and sound system installation division to test and develop products. Many of the product ideas and refinements are not only driven by a need to solve or improve actual challenges we face, but also we are able to deploy and optimize designs in-house.

One recent example of this in-house development cycle is the SuperCat XM. Initially designed to solve issues with AES50 drop outs using Behringer/Midas consoles at our large festivals 100+ meter Cat cables, Rat Sound has now implemented SuperCat XM as a fiber alternative/backup on all of the 100 meter main snakes. Fiber is expensive, delicate and expensive to repair. For 100 meter lengths plus two jumpers up to 10 meters each, Super Cat XM cable is capable of carrying Dante, AVB or AES50 and is more durable, more cost effective and saves time of running the additional fiber cables. 
Cool cool, thank you
