I need some more returns to the stage. Probably 2 for live monitors
and maybe a cpl for I ear mixes. 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.
Isn't cat 5e "just" 4 shielded pairs? Might be worth a try to do a RJ45
to XLR stagebox ;-)
Other than that I wouldn't go the wireless route, shared medium is
always asking for extra trouble. Especially when you have an audience
of mobiles searching for the next wireless to connect to.
