Description

N22 is Cranborne Audio’s solution for flexible, high fidelity, and cost effective audio
distribution. Put simply, N22 replaces 4 balanced XLR cables with one shielded Cat 5e, Cat 6,
Cat 7 cable to transport 4 channels of analogue audio over distances of up to 100 meters
(330 ft).

Simpler Cable Management
Connect two N22’s together using a single shielded Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 7 cable and you can
pass 4 channels of balanced, analogue audio (including 48V phantom power) between two
distant locations. Use N22 in the studio to connect the live room to the I/O of your audio
interface, in a live rig to connect your mixing console to your power amps, or even at home
to connect your surround speakers to your home cinema system.

Less Cable Clutter
Using a shielded Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 7 cable instead of 4 XLRs allows you to not only reduce
cable spaghetti in your studio but also distribute audio around studios or stages using
affordable network cabling whilst achieving the highest sonic results due to shielded Cat
5e, Cat 6, and Cat 7 cable’s low-crosstalk design. Perhaps best of all, N22 is completely
passive and requires no external power in order to transport audio at the highest quality
level over the longest distances.

Each C.A.S.T. connection on a Cranborne Audio product features unique optimisation to
ensure that the maximum signal integrity is transmitted over shielded Cat 5 cables for
distances of up to 100m without high-end roll-off and with low-crosstalk.

Advanced Connectivity With 500R8 and 500ADAT Interfaces
If your studio is already built around a Cranborne Audio interface such as a 500R8 or
500ADAT, you can connect multiple N22’s into their C.A.S.T. Input connectors and then
receive balanced input sources plugged into N22’s combi inputs directly at the audio
interface’s inputs ready for processing and recording. That same cat 5 C.A.S.T. connection
also transmits a stereo monitor mix generated by the 500R8/500ADAT back down the
C.A.S.T. connection and directly into N22’s balanced XLR and 1/4” Jack outputs for
monitoring or reamping.

A Palm-Sized Connectivity Powerhouse, N22 represents Cranborne Audio’s most cost
effective C.A.S.T. breakout box and it is the perfect compliment for those looking to build
their studio around a Cranborne Audio product but with its capability to be used
standalone, it is also an ingenious little tool for those looking to reduce cable clutter in their
setups whilst increasing signal integrity, flexibility, and deployment convenience.
