Cranborne Audio CAST Intro Bundle

soundonsound.com

Cranborne Audio's C.A.S.T. Intro Bundle presents an innovative, analog solution for audio routing that leverages affordable Cat cables, cutting down on studio clutter. This system is a boon for small studios and flexible enough for larger setups, making it a versatile problem solver. While it might not completely replace traditional audio cabling, its cost-effectiveness and ease of setup make it a compelling choice, especially for mobile rigs. Despite the need to purchase additional D-sub cables separately, the system's seamless integration and sound quality leave little to be desired. A smart, well-executed idea for expanding recording setups efficiently.
