The Drawmer 4X4 Kickbox is an 'all-terrain' 4-in/16-out mic/line signal splitter designed for live sound, broadcast coverage, sports events, live recording, press conferences, and corporate environments — anywhere high-quality audio distribution is required. Combining outstanding sonic performance with rugged, road-ready construction, it provides a flexible and dependable solution for portable signal splitting.
Each of the four studio-grade mic/line preamps delivers up to 66dB of variable gain with independent bargraph metering, mic/line switching, 48V phantom power and headphone monitoring. The sixteen balanced outputs offer optional transformer isolation, transformer-loaded LED status indication, and linking options for extended routing flexibility. Active splitting ensures long cable runs can be driven without loss of quality.
I was particularly impressed with the sound of the KickBox. It has outstanding specs, it’s quiet, and there’s plenty of headroom. The preamps are studio quality with a warm and clear sound.
The Kickbox 4X4 can be configured to suit a wide range of signal distribution needs, including:
Designed with practicality and durability in mind, the 4X4 Kickbox is supplied in a compact, self-contained, road-proof case with a removable lid for unhindered access to controls and connections. The interstackable design allows easy transport and setup, eliminating the need for bulky flight cases. When locked, the enclosure is dust-, water-, and corrosion-proof, ensuring reliable operation in the most demanding environments.
