I got a college degree as a sound engineer in Russia. I'm 22 years old and still just a beginner. At the moment I work in a rental company, we deal with different cables: nl4, ep5, sacapex, multicore, analog and digital xlr, etc. After college I only knew what xlr, jack, speacon and multicore is. Such knowledge is very difficult to obtain without working, and there is very little of this on the Internet and it is described in complex language. So thank you very much for your work! This niche occupies a very narrow circle of people, but you continue to release videos, and every time I learn something new and important for me! Thanks again!
Thanks, I'm so glad it's helpful. It's crazy right? I was exactly the same when I finished uni, it blew my mind that you could send 2 speaker signals down 1 speakon cable. If there's ever anything you wonder about just leave a comment or send an email and I'll make a video about it if I can. Best of luck with the company, you'll be a pro in no time.
Most bodypack transmitters of wireless microphones can accept instrument or line-level signals. With proper converter cables they can be used as "wireless DI boxes". RJ45 to XLR converters work best with dual-layer shielded Cat6a or Cat7 cables in which each twisted pair has its own shield and therefore less prone to have crosstalk issues compared with non-shielded or common-shield-only Cat5e and Cat6 cables. Some of these converters have transformers in it, but most of them are just direct connection breakout boxes and can be easily homebrewed.
You can actually think of cat cables as 4 balanced cables because that's the way they were designed to carry 4 balanced audio circuits of telephone service. I run studio hub adapters, that gives me two channels at a mic stand for vocal and instrument. Than that goes down and combines with another two channels into one cable that plugs into a cat rack in my box which goes to my mixer. all the benefits of analog cabling and digital mixer, And set up it's just a snap. If I need to remove a mic stand I unplugged one cable pull it to the side.
