Gepco International Launches RunONE Powered Speaker Cables at AES 2011

Gepco International introduced a new line of powered speaker cables at the Audio Engineering Society Show in New York last week. The new Gepco Brand RunONE powered speaker cables combine audio and power, along with optional data, under one durable yet flexible jacket. With multiple uses for corporations, DJs, lighting rigs and tours, RunONE allows the user to run just one cable in place of multiple cables.

Each RunONE cable combines one channel of power with two, eight, or 12 channels of 110-ohm balanced audio for line level, mic level, or digital AES audio signals and can be used with self-powered speakers or in DMX lighting control. Additional configurations include two channels of Category 5e cable, which can be used for data drops in remote power and audio applications. Snakes with optional data can also be used for digital audio transmission while running power to the front of house for remote locations. Shielding around the power channels eliminates power noise from interrupting the audio/data signal, ensuring high-quality performance.

Terminated with industry-standard connectors, RunONE cables offer the option of Edison, IEC and Neutrik powerCON connectors for the power channel; three-pin XLR, five-pin XLR (for DMX lighting), TRS and Neutrik convertCON connectors for audio channels; and RJ45 and Neutrik etherCON connectors for optional data channels. RunONE cables are available in pre-defined and custom configurations.

"The RunONE cables are a great solution for anyone looking to save time," said Joe Zajac, market development manager for Gepco Brand Products. "With up to 12 channels of audio combined with power and the optional two channels of data, the RunONE cables will also provide for much cleaner set-ups."
