Applications
- Ethernet Microphone:
- Amplifiers and Active Speakers:
- Stageboxes and Looms:
- LED Fixtures/Stripes:
- DMX Switches and Nodes:
- “Industrial” applications:
A major benefit of using the system as the standard Neutrik XLR connectors is that the insert has exactly the same form factor as a commonly used 3 pole XLR. This way a microphone manufacturer doesn’t need to change the design of his housing to fit an Ethernet connection.
With the rise of digital audio and/or video networks all components in the signal chain will receive a network connection. For some high powered amplifiers, a PoE or even PoE+ power supply might not suffice.
Of course the 10 pins could also be used to combine multiple balanced or unbalanced signals in a single cable. For example, in a stage box or a loom.
Even though LEDs are a lot more energy efficient than other light sources, PoE will not deliver enough power for bigger lights with a number of high powered LEDs.
IP based networks also made their way into the lighting applications. Especially in a stage environment the 8 + 2 pole XLR can prove its superiority compared to an RJ45 connection.
Of course the 8 + 2 pole XLR is not limited to IP based protocols or networks. It would be perfectly feasible to use it for any application where data and power needs to be combined, e.g. motor control units for chain hoists etc.
