PROEL EBN8 - 8-Channel Stage Box with 15-Meter Hose
The Proel EBN8 is a professional audio distribution solution designed to simplify and organize stage connections. This 8-channel multi-pair cable is an essential tool for sound engineers, rental companies, and musicians seeking reliability and a clean audio setup. At 15 meters long, it offers the perfect reach for drum kits, percussion sets, keyboards, or front-of-stage setups, eliminating the clutter of individual cables and ensuring pure signal transmission.
Built to Proel's rigorous EBN series standards, this enclosure stands out for its robust yet lightweight construction . Unlike traditional heavy and bulky enclosures, the EBN8 utilizes a professional-grade printed circuit board (PCB) internally, significantly reducing weight without sacrificing mechanical durability. The chassis is constructed from metal and coated with an epoxy powder finish, providing superior resistance to scratches, impacts, and the wear and tear of touring and intensive live performance.
Audio transmission quality is the top priority for this device. The EBN8 incorporates CMF series multi-pair cabling with a separate ground connection , ensuring excellent protection against electromagnetic interference and ground noise. The chassis connectors are nylon XLR connectors with NEUTRIK gold-plated contacts , guaranteeing a perfect, corrosion-free electrical connection over time. On the fan end (the part that connects to the mixing console), it features PROEL XLRPRO series metal aerial connectors, protected by robust PVC jackets that prevent breakage at the point of tension.
Main features
-
Compact and durable design: Metal case with epoxy finish that withstands the demands of live performance, protecting the internal components.
-
High-end connectors: Panel with NEUTRIK XLR connectors with gold-plated contacts for optimal conductivity and highly durable PROEL XLRPRO metal aerial connectors.
-
Professional cabling: CMF multipair cable with independent grounds to prevent ground loops and crosstalk between channels.
-
Clear identification: All channels are clearly numbered on both the box and the fan connectors for quick and error-free setup.
-
Ergonomics and protection: The aerial connections feature flexible PVC sleeves that protect the cable and connector joint, increasing the product's lifespan.
Product benefits
The main benefit of the Proel EBN8 is signal integrity and organization . By centralizing eight audio lines into a single robust cable, assembly and disassembly times are drastically reduced. Its internal PCB-based construction not only reduces weight for easier transport but also improves reliability by eliminating internal point-to-point wiring that is prone to failure due to vibrations. Furthermore, the use of gold-plated contacts ensures pristine audio quality, with no high-frequency loss or noise from poor connections—critical factors in recording and live sound reinforcement.
Use cases
-
Drum Microphones: Ideal for placing next to the drum set and sending 8 lines (kick drum, snare, toms, overheads) to the mixing console with a single cable, keeping the stage clean.
-
Keyboard and Electronics Sets: Perfect for keyboard players using multiple stereo outputs or synthesizers, grouping all signals at a close point.
-
Front of Stage: Useful for grouping lead vocal microphones or guitar amplifiers at the front of the stage and sending the signal to a side table or FOH.
-
Recording Studios: Excellent for connecting recording rooms to the control room without the need to run multiple individual cables across the floor.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are the connectors on the junction box inputs or outputs?
The EBN8 is configured with 8 XLR Female inputs on the box and 8 XLR Male connectors on the cable end, designed to send signals from the stage to the mixing console.
-
Is the socket compatible with Phantom power (+48V)?
Yes, the high-quality cabling and connectors allow for seamless phantom power passing for condenser microphones or active DI boxes.
-
Can the connector be disassembled if I need to repair it?
Yes, both chassis and overhead connectors are accessible for maintenance, although the robust construction minimizes the need for frequent repairs.
-
Does it include a carrying bag?
The product comes with its protective packaging, but does not include a dedicated carrying bag, although its compact size allows it to be stored in any standard hardware case.
Project description
8-channel passive stage box with integrated 15-meter multi-pair cable. The system features a metal chassis with a high-resistance epoxy powder coating and an internal printed circuit board (PCB) for reduced weight and dimensions. It has eight female panel-mount XLR inputs with gold-plated contacts (NEUTRIK type) and an output array of eight male metal XLR connectors from the PROEL XLRPRO series with PVC protection. The cabling is multicore CMF series with independent ground connections for each channel. It weighs approximately 3.3 kg and is designed for professional live audio applications and permanent installations.
