InBox • M3 Overview

  • SUMMARY - Handles just about any consumer device you can throw at it, eliminates all of the annoyances normally associated with unbalanced analog signals.
  • FLEXIBILITY - The Swiss Army Knife of CobraNet inputs. Part X2, part R8, and we threw in a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack for good measure. If you can't connect through the M3, it's time to buy new gear.
  • ADVANCED DSP - Process your signal before it goes to the network. InBox's built-in DSP offers an equalizer, compressor, gain and delay, configurable on a per-channel basis.
  • PoE POWER - A single CAT-5, and now you're live. Ethernet carries power, 8 audio channels, control signals, and CobraNet protocol to your 'Box.
  • INNIE - A powerful and permanent way to run live audio through A-D conversion, and spit it into a CobraNet network.

InBox • M3 Details

The InBox M3 CobraNet Audio Interface is a cost effective multi-input wall box. The M3 features a balanced XLR input, a pair of RCA inputs, and a stereo minijack input. All five inputs can be used simultaneously and all audio channels are available separately. The M3 is designed to fit into most dual gang junction boxes and is PoE enabled, so all connectivity (power and data) is provided by a single CAT-5 cable.
