Overview
The Quad Audio Balun allows up to four (4)
analog line audio signals to be transmitted via
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable in a point-to-
point connection.
Used in pairs, the Quad Audio Balun allows up to
four (4) coax audio cables to be replaced by one
(1) Cat5e/6 cable. The Quad Audio Balun also
works in conjunction with other MuxLab analog
audio baluns such as the 500019.
Applications
Custom commercial and home audio systems,
intercom systems, rental and staging systems,
