Comments on: Cheaper Alternatives for Audio Cabling? http://www.studiy.tv/?p=185 Don't try this at home kids...We're professionals!

Guessing it does impedance conversion in the con-box. They claim lengths of up to 1,000 feet are viable. Passive box, carries 4 balanced lines with or w/o phantom power. You'd need four of them for 16 channels.
