The Cordial ECLEYB8-4C15 is a multicore stage box, also known as a "patch" or "sleeve," designed to provide a professional and reliable solution for transmitting analog audio signals. This system is an indispensable tool for musicians, sound engineers, and installers looking to organize, simplify, and protect cabling between the stage and the mixing console (FOH), or between the recording studio and the control room. With 8 inputs and 4 outputs, it provides the flexibility needed for small to medium-sized sound setups.
Constructed from high-quality materials, the stage box features a robust and durable trapezoidal design, ideal for withstanding the demands of touring, concerts, and live events. The 15-meter cable provides ample reach to accommodate various stage and venue sizes. Each connector has been hand-soldered to ensure maximum reliability and clean, interference-free signal transmission.
