Featuring the C.A.S.T. system, N22 distributes audio around studios or stages by repurposing the internal copper wires of shielded Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 7 cable to send balanced analogue audio between other C.A.S.T. enabled products - like another N22.

Studios already built around a Cranborne Audio interface can use N22’s to transform their studio space. Put the N22 in a live room and audio connected to N22 will appear directly at the interface's inputs ready recording. The same C.A.S.T. connection can also send a stereo monitor mix from the interface directly to N22’s balanced outputs.
