Frequently Asked Questions
What does the configuration "24 inputs and 4 outputs" mean?
This means that the hose allows sending 24 independent audio signals from the stage to the mixing console (e.g., vocal microphones, drums, guitars) and receiving 4 return signals from the console to the stage (usually to feed the musicians' monitors).
Are the XLR connectors locking?
Yes, the XLR connectors used are professional grade and have a locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnections during use.
Is the cabling balanced?
Yes, all channels use balanced audio signal cabling. This is essential for long runs, such as 30 meters, as it helps to reject noise and electromagnetic interference, ensuring a clean audio signal.
