Speed up load-ins and load-outs by using less cables and connections with the SoundTools SuperCAT Sound Tails Male EtherCON to Four Male XLR Breakout Cable, an easy-to-use breakout cable that lets you transmit four channels of high-resolution balanced analog audio over one slim EtherCON cable, terminating in four 3-pin male XLR connectors.

Stylish and made of rust-free anodized aluminum to last a lifetime, the breakout cable is 52" long and has a 44" span. It is terminated with four black Neutrik female XLR connectors at one end and a male EtherCON connector at the other. The cable connects to Cat 5e cables with the Neutrik NE8FF EtherCON adapter (available separately) and is compatible with 48V phantom power.

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 EtherCON cable mount on one end, terminating to four XLR 3-pin, DMX 5-pin, or 1/4" connectors on the other end. The SuperCAT Tails can be directly plugged into SoundTools CAT Tails forming a disconnectable four channel male-to-male cable or can be used to create four channel adapters 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 better frequency response.

Designed by SoundTools, the 3-band strain relief system 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 the SuperCAT Sound Cable.

The SuperCAT Tails are compatible with products in the RATCAT 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 shielded EtherCON connector, such as the Neutrik EtherCON adapter (NE8FF).

SoundTools aims at minimizing waste and whenever possible. The company incorporates reusability into their package designs. The SuperCAT Tails is packaged in a sturdy canvas bag, which allows you to stay organized while protecting your tools and makes for a fantastic toiletry bag, sharpie case, or snack holder—the possibilities are endless.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this be used to go from the XLR outputs on a mixer board to the rode wireless go 2 TX unit inputs

A: I'm sorry, but the Cable Techniques 3.5mm TRS Right Angle to Two 3-Pin XLR Male Tape Output Y-Cable Adapter that you asked about would not allow you to output from a mixer into a wireless transmitter. Most mixers will have XLR male outputs, so you will need female XLR connectors on the cable. Additionally, the Rode Wireless Go II transmitter will only accept input from a mic level source. The cable that I am linking below has the correct gendered connectors, and also has a built in attenuator to lower line level to mic, so that you can successfully send the stereo line signal into the transmitter: https://bhpho.to/3IdRNCf

Q: 2. What is the distance of the spread of 2 XLRs from the Y-junction?

A: It splits in the middle, so approximately 5 feet on each end, meaning the spread would be approximately 10 feet. Best regards, Hosa Support.

Q: 3. Does this take the left and right channels from the 3.5mm source and send each separately to the XLR connectors, so that one of the XLRs will be the left channel and the other the right channel?

A: Correct - the left and right stereo signals are split.

Q: 4. Can this be used with a conventional analog audio mixer. Phoenix connector to three inputs on the mixer?

A: Unfortunately it cannot. It comes with an RJ45 output and includes an RJ45 to XLR male adapter for connection to ClearOne INTERACT AT mixers.

Q: 5. What is the range of this tester?

A: Maybe up to 150' but the manufacturer has not published this specification. Contact them at: support@soundtools.com

Q: 6. Hoping to use this with a crown condenser headset mic. Will phantom power (48v) pass through this adapter?

A: Used it for a similar application and had no issues sending phantom power.

Q: 7. Would this work with the Senal UEM-155 with TA4F?

A: Electro-Voice has stated that the TXA - TA4-Male to XLR-Male Adapter will not function with other brands of microphones.

Q: 8. If this is used with a pair of mics, will the recorded signal from each be blended, or will the two signals be hard panned left and right?

A: Never tried it. I've always used these for getting stereo output from an iPad or iPod into a console. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

Q: 9. As to length: what is the spread-distance of the two XLRs from the Y-junction of the wires?

A: The split is not glued together, so, it's roughly half the length of the cable (7.5'). If you extended each line as far as it could go, you could get 15' between the left and the right xlr end. I ended up having to tape the split together to make the cable more manageable

Q: 10. My JBL audio speakers are separated 43 inches approx. What is the distance between each TRS connecter in this cable??

A: This cable will not seperate this will not work with your speakers setup
