About SoundTools WallCAT 8

If you're looking for a seamless solution to transmit high-quality analog audio across multiple locations, the SoundTools WallCAT 8 4-Channel 2-Gang Analog Audio over Cat 5 Wall Plate in Black is your answer. This expertly designed wall plate allows you to choose between input or output across four XLR channels, utilizing a single Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat7 cable. This capability ensures superior transmission of analog audio, AES3, DMX, and intercom signals, making it an ideal choice for both professional and personal audio setups.

The SoundTools WallCAT 8 is engineered for easy installation, fitting perfectly into standard 4" US electrical junction boxes. Its robust aluminum construction ensures durability, allowing you to send or receive four channels of XLR, AES3, DMX, or intercom signals throughout any venue or home. Whether you're setting up in a recording studio, concert hall, or office building, this wall plate delivers professional-grade audio performance.

One of the standout features of the WallCAT 8 is its no-soldering-required design. Unlike other wall plates, it comes with pre-installed and clearly labeled connections, including eight Neutrik XLR connectors (four male and four female wired in parallel) on the front and two Amphenol RJ45 connections on the back. This ensures strong, stable connections for consistent, high-quality analog audio and intercom signals.

The WallCAT 8 is designed to work with shielded (STP/FTP) Cat cables, which are necessary for proper functionality and compatibility with 48-volt phantom power. By integrating several WallCAT 8 units and utilizing SoundTools' SuperCAT cable, you can effortlessly run four channels of clear analog audio signals from one room to another or even to multiple rooms simultaneously. For an enhanced audio-over-Cat5 experience, consider combining the WallCAT 8 with additional SoundTools products like the CAT Box, CAT Rack, or CAT Tails.

Installation is straightforward: secure the WallCAT 8 inside a compatible electrical junction box, attach your shielded CAT5 cables to the input or parallel RJ45s at the back, and select either input or output across the four channels for your XLR cable ends. This setup allows you to run up to four lines of bi-directional analog audio through a shielded CAT5 cable, providing a reliable and efficient audio solution. Pair it with additional CAT Rack, CAT Snake, or WallCAT units to send and receive four lines of balanced audio, ensuring a comprehensive and flexible audio network.
