Product purpose

The Gefen EXTAUD1000 extends unbalanced analogue audio signals up to 1000 feet using a single shielded CAT-5e cable. It suits installers and AV technicians who need to locate speakers or microphones far from the source equipment. The bidirectional design handles both stereo output and microphone input over the same link. It is not for users who require balanced professional audio connections or digital signal transmission.

Thermals noise and power

The compact sender and receiver units draw a maximum of 5W from the included 5V DC supply and operate without fans, so they add no audible noise to the installation. Passive cooling keeps the enclosures silent in quiet rooms or studio environments. Power consumption remains low even at the full 300 metre extension distance.

Bundled accessories and software

Stereo 3.5mm cables are supplied to connect the source and the output device directly to the extender units. The only link cable required is a standard shielded CAT-5e run, which the installer provides to suit the exact distance. No drivers, configuration utilities or firmware updates are needed for operation.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the sender and receiver units with the CAT-5e cable and 3.5mm plugs?

Plug the sender into your audio source using the supplied stereo cable, connect the receiver to your speakers, then run one shielded CAT-5e cable between the RJ-45 ports on both units up to 1000 feet.

Will the 5V DC power supply or the 3.5mm jacks need replacement after extended use?

The 5V DC supply is the only component likely to need replacement over time; the 3.5mm connectors and RJ-45 ports are passive and rated for the product's lifespan.

At what cable length does signal quality start to degrade on a 1000-foot run?

The extender is specified for 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response across the full 1000-foot distance using CAT-5e, so degradation should not appear within that limit.
