Cordial ECLEYB16-4C15 - Professional Stage Box with 16 XLR Inputs and 4 XLR Outputs, 15 meters
The Cordial ECLEYB16-4C15 is a stage box, also known as a multicore or signal hose, designed to provide a professional and reliable solution for transmitting multiple audio channels. This 20-channel system is designed to efficiently and neatly connect signals from the stage to the mixing console (FOH) or in studio and rehearsal environments. With 16 send channels (inputs) and 4 return channels (outputs), it provides the flexibility needed for most live sound and recording setups. Its robust construction and high-quality components ensure balanced, clean, and interference-free signal transmission along its 15-meter length.
Main Features
This multicore system has been manufactured with attention to every detail to ensure superior performance and a long lifespan in demanding environments.
-
Heavy-duty stage box: The box is constructed with an unbreakable metal casing, designed to withstand the rigors of use in touring, concerts, and frequent setup and teardown.
-
Professional-grade cabling: The cable contains pairs of bare copper conductors with an area of 0.14 mm² each. Each pair is individually shielded with an aluminum foil (AL/PT) and a drain wire, providing 100% coverage against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
-
Reliable XLR connectors: All connectors, both on the box and at the cable ends, are XLR type. Individual rubber boots on the male connectors protect against the ingress of dust and moisture.
-
Clear identification: For quick and error-free setup, all channels are clearly numbered both on the stage box and on the cable end connectors.
-
Designed for durability: The cable's outer jacket, made of robust PVC, protects the internal conductors. It also features bend-resistant elements at all critical transition points to prevent wear and ensure maximum durability.
Benefits for the Sound Professional
Investing in the Cordial ECLEYB16-4C15 translates into reliability and sound quality. For the technician or musician, this means peace of mind and a more efficient workflow. Balanced, unaltered signal transmission is crucial, and individual shielding of each channel ensures that the audio reaches its destination with maximum fidelity, even over considerable distances. Its robust construction minimizes the risk of technical failures during an event, while clear channel numbering dramatically speeds up setup and teardown, allowing the professional to focus on what matters most: sound quality.
Use Cases
The versatility of the Cordial ECLEYB16-4C15 makes it ideal for a wide range of applications:
-
Live Sound: Perfect for small and medium-sized venues, pubs, churches or outdoor events where it is necessary to send microphone and instrument signals from the stage to the mixing console and return monitoring signals to the musicians.
-
Recording Studios: Facilitates the connection of multiple audio sources from the recording room to the control room, keeping the workspace tidy and the signals noise-free.
-
Rehearsal Rooms: Allows for a clean and organized setup for bands, avoiding cable clutter and simplifying the connection of all instruments and voices to a central mixer.
-
Fixed Installations: Suitable for theaters, auditoriums and conference centers that require a reliable, high-quality audio cabling solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the connectors repairable?
Yes, both the stage box and the connectors at the end of the cable can be opened, allowing for repairs or maintenance if needed, ensuring a long product lifespan.
What does 16 entries and 4 exits mean?
This means that the cable has 16 "send" channels (usually female XLR connectors on the box) to send signals from the stage (microphones, instruments) to the mixing console, and 4 "return" channels (male XLR connectors on the box) to receive signals from the console (monitor mixes, etc.) back to the stage.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Thanks to its robust metal casing, durable PVC cover, and rubber connector covers, it's designed to withstand the demands of touring, including outdoor applications. However, it is not submersible and should be protected from direct heavy rain.
Does cable quality affect the signal over a length of 15 meters?
Not noticeably. The cable's quality, with its 100% shielding and low-resistance copper conductors, is specifically designed to maintain balanced signal integrity over distances like this, preventing high-frequency loss or noise introduction.
