The SoundTools SuperCAT Sound cable allows the SuperCAT Tails to achieve a new level of simplicity at a lower cost while enhancing reliability and reducing weight. The SuperCAT Sound Tails implement a male cable mount etherCON on one end, terminating to four XLR 3-pin, DMX 5-pin, or quarter-inch connectors on the other end. The SuperCAT Tails can be directly plugged into SoundTools CAT Tails forming a disconnectable four channel male-to-female cable or to create four channel adaptors of differing genders and connector types.
The SuperCAT Tails combine key aspects of both the SoundTools CAT Tails and SuperCAT Sound cable to create a high-quality, durable and cost-effective product specifically aimed to excel in high-impact, touring environments. The SuperCAT Sound cable is designed with sound in mind; each of the four twisted pairs has its own separate drain wire and shield, and each pair is precisely twisted to eliminate crosstalk, reject outside noise, and allow for higher frequency response.
The 3-band strain relief system designed by SoundTools offers enhanced durability and prevents the shrink-wrap from flaring or slipping at the crucial junction of the four cables.
Wrap 1: Binds the four nylon mesh covered cables together.
Wrap 2: Offers support for the transition of the four cables to the SuperCAT Sound Cable.
Wrap 3: Adds diameter and maximizes adhesion of the shrink tubing the SuperCAT Sound Cable.
MODULARThe SuperCAT Tails are compatible with all the products in the SoundTools Analog Audio over CAT family, including the SoundTools CAT Box, CAT Rack, CAT Tails, and WallCAT, allowing you to create a comprehensive and versatile modular snaking system. They can also be used with a shield etherCON connector such as the Neutrik etherCON adapter (NE8FF/NE8FFX6-W).
