Flawlessly sent and received audio via DSnake using a Cable Matters CAT7 STP ethernet cable. The setup was used in an urban DC church, not a particular RF noisy environment but the cable run was not a straight stretch. There was no latency issues or anything of sorts and audio never dropped out. The setup was a QU-24 setup on a balcony about 200ft away from the stage. On stage we used a AR168 to plug in 16 channels and sent via Cat7. I sent 7 mixes to the stage for in-ear monitoring and again, no latency or dropout issues.
Back story, my church has had the QU 24 and AR168 sitting in a storage closet for months because we are a portable church now. We use the host church’s setup and their mixer and stage wiring stinks to say the least. I will absolutely utilize the audio over ethernet setup from here on out.
I cant say that using STP made a big difference, but the cable is only $50 so it made sense to get the best available for our needs and the pricepoint
