Rather than going for wired solutions, could u get the latency low enough on netjack to not be a nuisance over wireless? I could also run a single cat 5e or 6 and gig ports too I suppose. Easier than running 4 + shielded pair in this particular instance. Have several older laptops laying about.

At work I've been using zita-njbridge with the default 10 ms buffering 
over a wireless LAN. I don't think this can be repeated easily (I'm 
working at Huawei Research so networks can be assumed to be performing
well). OTOH using a Cat6 cable and decent NICs this should just work.
Latency may still be too high for in-ear monitoring.
