Typically used at one or both ends of an audio snake. A Canare Junction Box will accept single microphone or line level XLR-3 type cables. The blank anodized chassis is constructed from thick gage aluminum (0.16") which is light weight but exceptionally strong. All panel mount receptacles are secured to the chassis with screws (not pop rivets), should service ever be necessary. Skid pads and multipin dust caps with chain are included.
