Designed for professional audio setups, it offers noise-free, reliable performance with a rugged metal build and supports flexible multi-room audio transmission. Backed by a 2-year warranty and trusted by audio pros, it’s the ultimate solution for clean, efficient analog audio distribution. ## Description Receive 4 Channels of Analog Audio Via Cat 5 or Cat 6 The Radial Catapult MINI RX is an ingenious invention. It, when combined with the Catapult MINI TX, enables you to transform a standard Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable into a 4-channel analog snake. Simply connect a shielded Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable between the two modules, and they’ll use the analog conductors in the cable to deliver four balanced audio lines to whatever destination you choose. The MINI RX employs straight-wire passive operation — it’s analog all the way, with no digital conversion necessary. At Sweetwater, we’ve also used the MINI RX to receive audio transmitted via a building's existing cable infrastructure. You can put a performer, mic, and preamp in one room, and send the signal to your DAW in a completely different room. Sending audio between two distant locations has never been easier!Radial Catapult Review: Buen articulo Review: So far so good… - Well, I bought the cheapo version of these, and broke my own rule about always buying high quality stuff The cheapos were about 20% of the price of the Radial version here. They’re totally passive - so no components, just wire and connectors in a metal box. Outwardly the cheapos looked decent. Solder joints, cable, connectors all looked to be of reasonable quality. So I bought 6 of them. However, every single one of the inexpensive ones had a noisy channel right out of the box. You could just plug them into an input with nothing else attached and they would make crackling noise from one of the 4 available channels. Not ground hum, just crackling noise. I have an advanced electronics background - after reworking, resoldering, cleaning contacts, testing and scratching my head on ALL SIX of the cheapos, I came to the conclusion that, despite the visual inspection and tests to determine they passed signal, they’re just unusable crap. After spending hours troubleshooting and trying to understand what was wrong, I finally gave up and threw them away and bought these Radial boxes. No noise at all. All channels work. Since there’s nothing to really fail other than a solder joint, I assume they’re going to be reliable. I totally don’t understand what the problem is with the cheap ones, but they’re totally worthless, and it’s insulting they’re even on the market. How many other people are out there right now, pulling their hair out trying to understand why those things don’t work? Anyway, If you want to use a system running CAT cable for your multichannel audio needs, just buy these. Radial always has the best quality product offerings - just go for the good stuff. If I experience any failure or noise with these, I will immediately update my review. Until then, these are the best you can buy, and they work. ## Features - 4-channel Cat 5 Analog Audio Snake Receiver ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07FSZ56YM | | Best Sellers Rank | #28,072 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #56 in Recording Snakes | | Brand Name | Radial Engineering | | Cable Type | Ethernet | | Color | Blue | | Compatible Devices | Speaker | | Compatible Phone Models | No Compatible Phone Models | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Connector Gender | Male-to-Female | | Connector Type | RJ45, XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (36) | | Ethernet Cable Category | Cat 6 | | Frequency | 20000 KHz | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor, Outdoor | | Item Weight | 1.02 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Radial | | Maximum Voltage | 1 Volts | | Model | R800 8029 | | Number of Pins | 16 | | Other Special Features of the Product | DAB | | Recommended Uses For Product | Audio Transmission | | Specification Met | Aes/Ebu | | UPC | 676101044764 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2-Year Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Radial Engineering - **Cable Type:** Ethernet - **Compatible Devices:** Speaker - **Connector Type:** RJ45, XLR - **Special Feature:** DAB ## Images ![Radial Catapult MINI RX Cat 5 Audio Snake - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71j5DoHwjqL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this send phantom power from the board to the mics to power the microphone?** A: You can use any standard Cat 5 or Cat 6 Ethernet cable to connect Catapult modules to each other. In order to pass 48V phantom power to feed your condenser mics or active direct boxes, the cable and terminating connections must have a shield. If you are transmitting line level signals, the shield is not required due to the twisted pair configuration, but it will still be beneficial as shielded cables are less susceptible to noise. **Q: How long are the cables on the unit?** A: The owners manual from Radial says the fan is 24” **Q: Can we use the Ethernet connection to add to the behringer X32 outputs?** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***O on November 4, 2025* Buen articulo ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far so good… *by D***A on September 22, 2023* Well, I bought the cheapo version of these, and broke my own rule about always buying high quality stuff The cheapos were about 20% of the price of the Radial version here.
