PROEL EBN804 - Stage Junction Box 8 Inputs / 4 Returns - 25 Meter Hose
Optimize your audio connections and keep your stage pristine with the PROEL EBN804 , a professional audio distribution system designed to simplify signal routing between the stage and the mixing console. This stage box, also known as a "snake box," is the ultimate solution for bands, sound engineers, and sound technicians seeking reliability, durability, and pure, interference-free signal transmission.
The Proel EBN series stands out for its superior build quality. The housing is constructed from robust metal with an epoxy powder-coated finish , providing exceptional resistance to the shocks and wear typical of touring and intensive live performance. Despite its robustness, the design is surprisingly compact and lightweight thanks to the use of professional-grade printed circuit boards (PCBs) inside. This not only reduces weight but also improves connection reliability by eliminating traditional point-to-point cabling, which is prone to failure due to vibrations.
In terms of connectivity, the EBN804 makes no compromises. The chassis features XLR connectors with gold-plated contacts (NEUTRIK type) that are automatically wired for pinpoint accuracy. At the cable ends, the terminations are protected by durable PVC jackets and equipped with PROEL XLRPRO series metal connectors. All of this is connected by a 25-meter CMF series multi-core cable, offering excellent flexibility and shielding, ensuring your sound reaches its destination intact.
Main features
-
Versatile configuration: Offers 8 input channels (for microphones or instruments) and 4 return channels (for monitors or PA sends), covering the standard needs of small and medium-sized bands.
-
High durability construction: Metal case with scratch and corrosion resistant epoxy finish, designed to withstand foot traffic and constant transport.
-
Premium Connectors: Incorporates high-quality chassis connectors with gold-plated contacts for maximum conductivity and oxidation resistance.
-
CMF Series Hose: High-quality 25-meter multi-core cable with contact grounding, offering superior rejection of noise and electromagnetic interference.
-
Clear identification: All channels are clearly numbered on both the housing and the aerial connectors, facilitating quick setup and teardown, even in low light conditions.
Benefits for the user
Using the PROEL EBN804 transforms stage management. By centralizing all lines at a single point, it eliminates the chaos of crossed cables that often cause tripping hazards and accidental disconnections. For the sound engineer, this means much faster setup and simplified troubleshooting. The quality of the materials ensures that the audio signal remains clean and noise-free , which is critical in both studio recordings and live performances where there is no room for error.
Use cases
-
Live concerts: Ideal for connecting the drums, amplifiers and vocals of the main band to the FOH (Front of House) mixing console.
-
Conference and event rooms: Allows you to connect multiple microphones on a presidential table and send the signal discreetly to the control booth.
-
Recording studios: Perfect for connecting the recording room (Live Room) with the control room, keeping cable runs tidy.
-
Fixed installations: Theaters, churches or auditoriums that require a durable and aesthetically pleasing audio infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the connectors on the junction box compatible with phantom power?
Yes, the XLR connectors and internal wiring are fully prepared to transmit Phantom power (+48V) from the mixing console to the condenser microphones without any problems.
What type of connectors does it have at the end of the cable (the "tail")?
At the end of the 25-meter cable, you'll find PROEL XLRPRO series metal aerial connectors. The 8 inputs have male XLR connectors (for connecting to the mixer's inputs), and the 4 returns have female XLR connectors (for connecting to the mixer's outputs).
Can a channel be repaired if it fails?
Yes, thanks to its accessible construction and the use of professional standard components, any qualified technician can perform maintenance or repair tasks on the connectors if necessary after years of intensive use.
