Frequently asked questions
Are these two products meant to work together?
No. The PR4500 BD8 is a standalone wireless receiver for capturing audio via radio link. The CS3 EC 100 is a wired cable used to connect fixed audio equipment. They serve different signal-transport purposes and are not designed as a paired system.
Which one do I need for outdoor festival sound?
That depends on your role. If you're capturing wireless talent audio on stage, use the PR4500 BD8. If you're running signal from a stage receiver to a mixing console at the back of the venue, the CS3 EC 100 cable is your choice.
Can the PR4500 BD8 replace a long cable run?
The PR4500 BD8 provides 100 meters of wireless range, so in some setups it can eliminate long cable runs. However, it requires a compatible wireless transmitter on the source (talent or instrument), whereas the CS3 EC 100 connects two existing audio devices without requiring additional transmitter hardware.
What audio quality does each deliver?
The PR4500 BD8 offers a 100 dB-A signal-to-noise ratio and 0.8% THD with transparent audio across 35–20,000 Hz. The CS3 EC 100 maintains sonic integrity across its 100-meter run without adding noise or coloration, but its sonic performance depends on the equipment it connects, not the cable itself.
