The ETS InstaMusician™ Baluns (SDS903 and SDS904)
enable both audio and composite video signals to be sent over
a single Cat5 or better cable. The InstaMusician Baluns are
compact, lightweight, versatile, passive components that have
bi-directional capability.
Since the InstaMusician Baluns are passive units, you do
not need power. The InstaMusician Baluns accept ‘mic’ level,
line level, analog or digital audio and support phantom power
when using shielded Cat5e or 6 cables.
ETS has designed this custom part for theater orchestras
for simultaneous listening and viewing. Hence, no more
missed cues. Used in this application, the SDS903 and
SDS904 are both highly cost effective and easily, neatly, and
quickly installed. In addition, the single UTP cable replaces
more costly and heavier coax cables.
The SDS903 with (4) 3.00 foot pigtails lets you access the
mixer without the need for an additional 3 microphone cables
and RG6 or RG59 coax cable for video.
