Cordial ECLEYB8-4C30 - Stage Box 8 Inputs / 4 Outputs XLR 30 meters
The Cordial ECLEYB8-4C30 is a stage box, also known as a multicore cable or signal hose, designed to provide a professional and reliable solution for transmitting analog audio signals. It's ideal for connecting microphones, instruments, and other sound sources from the stage to the mixing console (FOH) or between recording and control rooms. With 30 meters of high-quality cable, this system dramatically simplifies setup, reduces cable clutter, and ensures a stable and clean connection in any environment, whether live, in studios, or in permanent installations.
Built to Cordial's signature quality standards, this stage box features a robust and durable trapezoidal metal chassis that not only protects the internal connections but also allows for secure placement on the stage floor. The main cabling is flexible yet robust, designed to withstand the demands of continuous use during tours and events.
Main Features
-
Versatile Configuration: It has 8 input channels (XLR female) and 4 output channels (XLR male), an ideal configuration for small and medium-sized bands, conferences, or events that require multiple microphones and some outputs for monitors or PA systems.
-
High Quality Connectors: Equipped with REAN connectors (manufactured by Neutrik), recognized worldwide for their reliability, durability and excellent connection quality, ensuring signal transmission without loss or interference.
-
Robust Construction: The stage box features a trapezoidal design made of sturdy metal, prepared to withstand the demanding treatment of constant assembly and disassembly.
-
Protected Cable: The 30-meter cable integrates a strain relief system and protection against twisting both at the box entry and at the patch cord end (fanout), preventing internal damage from sharp pulls or bends.
-
Organized Patch Cord: The end of the cable is divided into a patch cord (fanout or split) with the connectors clearly identified by marked heat shrink tubing, facilitating a quick, tidy and error-free connection.
Benefits for the Sound Professional
The Cordial ECLEYB8-4C30 is designed for sound engineers, musicians, and rental companies seeking efficiency and reliability. By unifying multiple audio lines into a single robust cable, it minimizes setup and teardown time. Its design prevents cable clutter on stage, improving safety and the overall aesthetics of the event. The quality of its components ensures pristine audio transmission, essential for achieving a clean and professional final sound. Its 30-meter length provides the flexibility needed to cover considerable distances in most stages, concert halls, and studios.
Use Cases
This multicore system is the perfect tool for a wide variety of applications. It's ideal for bands playing in pubs, concert halls, or festivals, allowing them to connect all vocals and instruments to a remote main mixer. It's also an excellent solution for recording studios that need to connect the recording room to the control room, or for permanent installations in theaters, auditoriums, and conference centers where cable organization and reliability are crucial.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of connectors does it use?
It uses 3-pin XLR connectors. The 8 inputs on the box are female XLR and the 4 outputs are male XLR. At the end of the patch cable, the connections correspond to 8 male XLR connectors and 4 female XLR connectors.
Are the connectors of good quality?
Yes, they are equipped with REAN connectors, a brand of Neutrik, which is a standard in the professional audio industry for its durability and high-quality connection.
Is it suitable for sending monitor signals to the stage?
Absolutely. The 4 output channels (returns) are designed precisely for that purpose: to send the mix signal from monitors, effects, or other sources from the mixing console back to the stage.
Is the cable durable enough for touring use?
Yes, it has been designed for professional use. The casing is metal, and the cable has specific protections against pulling and twisting (strain relief) at the most vulnerable points, giving it a long lifespan even with intensive use.
