Useful, works as expected, but you get what you pay for.
FidelityBob 28.10.2025
Did what I needed when I tried it out - clean stage, quicker setup. I drop one of these at the feet of each member of the band. Their vocal mic and instruments plug into that, all on very short leads. I then use the input matrix on the mixer to allocate them to channels as I want. Remember that you need screened CAT5 or CAT6. No screen, no phantom power.

It is much cheaper that rival boxes for a reason. The connectors are cheap quality, for live use I would be happy to pay more for reliable Neutrik connectors. As another review suggested, I may well change them.

The Ethercon is offset from the centre but the latch is on the narrower side quite close to he flange on the box with very limited space to get a finger in to press the latch. Someone with fat fingers is not going to get in here. There is no reason not to fit the connector the other way round making it much easier to release. I did turn the connector around but take care, the thread cutting screws holding the box together don't like being removed and reinserted and are easily over-tightened.

Phantom power not supported
_obra_ 11.03.2022
We use it together with Sssnake Cat Snake 3MC to reduce the number of drum cables. It works without buzzing, but phantom power does not work, so we do not pulg bass drum mic which needs phantom power through it.

problems with crosstalk
Acorn 08.03.2023
I tried this unit but, in my application, I had problems with crosstalk. It might be fine with live music but I was recording dialogue which needed to be clean. There was around 30 or 40 dB between the signal and the crosstalk in my test.
