The ETS InstaSnake™ Series (SDS900 Series) is a compact,
lightweight, versatile passive group of components allowing you to
run audio signals over a single run of CAT5, 5E or 6 cables. With a
roll of wire, these compact units are easily transported and/or stored
solving dozens of live and/or recording sound problems.
The InstaSnake™ is a passive unit, so you do not need power. The InstaSnake™ accepts `mic 'level, line level, analog or digital audio and supports phantom power when using shielded Cat5 or Cat6
cables. The basic units are a pair of passive units with bi-directional
capability which can be input directly into analog or digital consoles.
Designed to the highest professional standards the InstaSnake™
has a wide, flat frequency response, low THD and residual noise. The
InstaSnake™ has been factory tested to 1900 feet over CAT5 using low Z dynamic microphones. Phantom power has been tested to 850 feet over shielded cable. (Phantom Power - Shielded Cat5 or 6
cables are required to pass phantom power.)
The SDS901 and SDS902 with (4) 3.00 foot pigtails lets you
access the mixer without the need for additional 4 microphone
cables.
