AoC Box XLR
Audio over Cat box from etherCON to 4 x XLR female or male
The AOC B XLR F is a multicore box that facilitates the stable transmission of 4 separate analogue and balanced audio signals or 8 digital AES3 signals through a network cable (not included). To mitigate the risk of ground loops, the etherCON connection features a ground lift switch. In addition, a secondary etherCON THRU connection – linked in parallel – facilitates the transmission of signals to external devices. Both of the etherCON connections are safeguarded against unlocking to prevent accidental cable disconnection.
In addition to audio signals, the AOC B XLR F enables the transmission of DMX, or MIDI control signals, along with 48-volt phantom power, via a single, standard Ethernet cable. This versatility allows it to be used flexibly across various applications, be it for live concerts, studio sessions, press conferences, or other productions.
Featuring high-quality Neutrik components as well as a solid aluminum-steel housing, the AOC B XLR F guarantees reliable signal transmission and durability in professional environments. Its simple, high-quality design also enhances the visual appeal of any setup.
All these factors make the AOC B XLR F a reliable and durable tool that provides an affordable and flexible alternative to conventional 4-channel multicores without compromising audio quality - as you have always come to expect from Palmer.
