Cranborne N8
ABOUT THE PRODUCT
The Cranborne Audio N8 is an analog audio distribution hub utilizing proprietary C.A.S.T. (Cat 5 Analogue Snake Transport) technology. It radically simplifies the audio infrastructure of a studio or live environment by replacing up to four XLR cables with a single Cat 5e, Cat 6, or Cat 7 network cable.
With its standard DB25 connections and four C.A.S.T. ports, the N8 acts as the heart of a modular audio network, capable of distributing up to 16 analog audio channels with consistent sound quality and plug-and-play installation.
This system is ideal for both fixed and mobile installations and is compatible with any audio interface or mixing console via DB25.
