XVive PX-B - 3-channel snake designed for the Xvive PX monitoring system

XVIVE PX-B – 3-channel snake for PX monitoring system

The XVIVE PX-B is a three-channel audio snake designed specifically for the PX in-ear monitor system. Featuring three balanced XLR inputs and one etherCON output, it simultaneously transmits three submixes and PoE power from the console to the PX-A mixers over a single Cat 5 cable, ensuring lossless digital signal transmission up to 60 m (200 ft). It also includes three XLR to ¼″ TS adapters for directly connecting mixer outputs or audio devices, and a 9 V/2 A power connector.

Main features

• Three balanced XLR inputs: For connecting aux outputs from a mixer or audio sources.
• etherCON Output: Sends digital audio and PoE to the PX-A Mixer/Headphone Amp.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): Powers the PX-A without additional external power supply, 9 V DC/2 A center negative.
• Rugged metal chassis: Minimal impact and wear for touring use.
• Adapters included: Three XLR female to ¼″ TS jack cables for compatibility with line outputs.
• Uncompressed transmission: Full digital audio up to 60 m without degradation.
• Compatibility: Works with PX-A, EC25 and PX-H within the PX ecosystem.

Product benefits

• Simplify personal monitoring wiring by unifying audio and power into a single cable.
• Guarantees crystal-clear and stable audio for every musician thanks to the digital format and PoE.
• Reducing points of failure by eliminating multiple cables and independent power supplies.
• Robustness and reliability for intensive live and touring environments.

Use cases

• Live shows and tours: sending three submixes from the mixer to the PX-A.
• Studio recordings: clean signal distribution without ground noise.
• Rehearsals and workshops: fast and orderly connection of multiple musicians.
• Fixed installations in auditoriums and theaters: distributed individual monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How many PX-A can I feed?
  The PX-B feeds and sends audio to a single PX-A per snake; for multiple mixers, use a PX-H hub.
• What Cat 5 cable do I need?
  Shielded Ethernet cable with etherCON connectors is recommended for maximum reliability.
• Can I extend more than 60 m?
  Up to 60 m without loss; for longer distances, use network repeaters or PoE switches.
