Simple cable management and high-end audio quality

With C.A.S.T. you can replace conventional XLR cables with network cables, which not only reduces cable clutter in your studio, but also simplifies audio playback in studio and live environments. The strict manufacturing standards of the network cables ensure that your audio signals are transmitted at the highest level without any loss of quality or crosstalk.

Perfect solution for your studio or stage

Whether in the vocal booth, in the live room or for mobile recordings – the N8 Distribution Hub and the N22/N22H breakout boxes offer a flexible and powerful solution for the simple transportation of audio signals. Use the N8 in your control room and distribute audio signals via Cat 5 to other locations, such as the N22/N22H boxes. With just one cable, you can receive microphone and line signals and send monitor mixes at the same time.

N22H: Headphone amplifier and breakout box

The N22H not only serves as a breakout box, but also as a high-resolution headphone amplifier. Using the C.A.S.T. connection, you can place a musician in another room and transmit both the microphone signal and a monitor mix via a single network cable. The performance of the N22H headphone amplifier guarantees clean, distortion-free audio playback and enough power for loud headphone setups.

Flexible audio distribution with N22

The N22 is a completely passive breakout box that requires no external power supply. It can be positioned in your studio, live room or other areas and offers an easy way to distribute audio signals over long distances.

Cabling

Network cables that are normally used for data transmission are perfect for transporting audio signals. With Cat 5e, Cat 6 or Cat 7 cables, you can transport up to four channels of fully balanced, analog audio. Thanks to the high bandwidth of these cables, signals are transmitted without any loss of quality or bandwidth.

Compatibility with all C.A.S.T.-capable devices

The C.A.S.T. system is compatible with many Cranborne Audio products, including N22, N22H and the Camden EC1/EC2 pre-amps and signal processors. Simply connect the C.A.S.T. outputs of these devices to the N8 Hub to expand your setup and distribute audio easily and efficiently.

The C.A.S.T. Intro Bundle offers a complete solution to immediately equip your studio or live area with the advanced C.A.S.T. technology.
