Is there a simple ethernet bridge for audio?

When they gonna stop blow everything?

Police have carried out a controlled explosion on a vehicle at the hospital treating a suspect in the attack on Scotland's busiest airport. Officers also made a fifth arrest in the airport attack and a foiled car bomb plot in London.

These comments are like rubbish

Sometimes I can't understand...

I've got it!

But other said that the judgement induces common sense, tertium non datur

As one clever person said the judgement transforms tragical hedonism.

Interesting opinion. But IMHO it's just an opinion.

I have great experience in that. So I can understand...

Sorry. I'm not agree with you.

Hi, nice site! HTML http://www.justurl.com/it-is-to-page-which-very-long.html

I too have been looking for a solution to this very problem. The only thing I have come up with is the following: http://www.barix.com but they retail for around $250 each.

There is also the balun option which just converts RCA inputs into CAT5 perhaps with some coils to help balance the signal, not sure: http://www.smarthome.com/7829ss.html which I think someone commented on before.

All depends if you want ethernet (IP) to share the cable or not.

Hope this helps.

I used ethernet wiring to run source level audio through my whole house from my PC and WiFi mp3 player. I didn't know there were any products available that did that stuff, so I just spliced 1/8" audio jacks into the line and mounted those in wall jacks so I could plug in 2.1 computer speakers in some rooms instead of big old stereos. I thought about using ethernet jacks instead and making little RJ45 to 1/8" and RJ45 to RCA jumpers but decided that while that was cleaner it was WAY more work.

But, my ethernet wiring is dedicated for audio - it's not ethernet, just Cat5. If you're actually using the ethernet wiring for data you'll have to do something complex like the sonos.

What would be REALLY cool would be to put audio on two pairs and use the other pairs for serial control signals. Then you could use a learning remote in any room to send commands to an IR LED on the front of the stuff you're controlling. One pair could control the reciever to switch sources/etc, and one pair could control your MP3 source to skip songs, etc. But I didn't think of that until I'd buttoned it all up and haven't been motivated to open it all up and redo my connections.

I went down to my local Big Box Hardware Retailer and built something just for this. Audio works very well over twisted pair CAT 5.

It takes two pairs of RCA jacks, some CAT5 and some RJ45 plugs. If you're clever, you can use a CAT5 patch cable and skip the crimping-plugs stuff.

Simply solder a pair of RCA jacks to two pairs of wires on each end, making sure your pairs match up on both ends, of course. Then plug the RJ45 end into a "dark" RJ45 run. You'll now have an audio pathway that you can use anywhere you have CAT5 in the house.

Just make sure you don't use the jacks on any segment that's being used for your network, or Bad Things Will Happen (tm).

The soldering takes 5 minutes and total cost is about 20 bucks. I use it to send 2-channel audio and S-Video signals from one floor to another in my home. Works very well!

If there is a patch panel then one could connect a Cat 5 line
coming from one room to the Cat 5 line going to another directly,
with a cable that's NOT through an Ethernet bridge, and use a pair
of "baluns" for Audio+Video transmission, one in each room.

Search for UTP+transceiver+audio, they should be around $50 each.

Such devices are quite common in broadcasting now, but they're not cheap. See, for example, http://comrex.com/products/access.htm (about $3,000 per location). ...doug
