* CAT-5/6 distance up to 140 meter or 450 feet
* Operate @ 48k or 96k sample rate (24 bits)
* All inputs and outputs are on DB25s
* RS232 pass thru for any control applications
* Built in cable redundancy
* Plug and play 2 way split (FoH and Mon Mix)
* Multiple split using standard 100 Mbps Ethernet switches
* Share audio traffic and other data traffic using GbE ethernet switch with VLAN
* Aux1 and Aux2 for intercom, Internet or analog audio over the same CAT-5/6
* Neutrik Ethercon for durable CAT-5/6 connector
* Fiber support through external Media Converter over Single or Multi-mode Fibers
* External micpre packages or connect your own micpre
* Sleek and compact chassis
With prices starting at $1,299 for the 16x8 system, Mamba Digital Snakes are easily the most affordable Digital Snake solution on the market, and the first Digital Snakes that are in the same price range as a similar channel count high quality analog snake. Mamba Digital Snakes are ideal for small to medium sized installations, and are well suited in situations where setup and teardown are the norm. Mamba Digital Snakes are installed and used in church, broadcast, live stage and touring company venues, as well as such high profile events as the ICER AIR ski jump event at San Francisco's AT&T Ballpark.
Barani Subbiah, CEO of NetworkSound stated, "Our goal was to design a high-quality Digital Snake at an affordable price. We were able to achieve this through innovative design concepts, preconfigured I/Os, and use of off the shelf mic-pres. For the first time, the clarity, dependability, and ease of installation of a MediaNet powered Digital Snake is available in the same price range as an analog snake with no compromise in quality and all the additional digital audio over CAT-5/6 benefits."
