The Radial Catapult Mini is a professional 4-channel passive analogue audio over Cat 5/6 stage snake system designed for live sound, recording, and installed audio applications. It allows up to four channels of balanced microphone or line-level audio to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable, replacing traditional bulky analogue multicore snakes with a compact and flexible solution.
Operating entirely in the analogue domain, the Catapult Mini delivers transparent signal transfer with no latency, noise, or digital conversion. It is ideal for extending audio between stage boxes, mixing consoles, recording interfaces, and remote locations while maintaining full signal integrity over long cable runs.
The system is available in TX (send) and RX (receive) formats, allowing flexible system design depending on signal direction. When paired together, the units function as a complete 4-channel audio snake over standard shielded Cat 5 or Cat 6 cabling. Multiple Catapult Mini units can also be used together to scale larger systems.
Built for professional use, each unit features rugged steel construction, locking etherCON-compatible RJ45 connectors, and ground lift options to help eliminate hum and interference in complex stage environments.
