Press Release
NetworkSound to release Mamba XDB an XLR to DB25 patch bay/break out box complaint to
Tascam/Fostex DB25 pin out
San Jose, CA – May 29, 2008: NetworkSound is pleased to announce the launch of a new XLR to DB25 break
out box/patch bay product to pro audio community. Tascam and Fostex compliant 8 channels of balanced analog
audio over a standard DB25 connector has been adapted by a large number of pro audio manufacturers. The ease
of providing 8 channels over a space saving DB25 is an ideal way to connect two pro audio equipments that has
same DB25 interface. A simple DB25-DB25 cable would be suffice to connect 8 audio channels. The cost and
space savings are huge with DB25 compared to mounting XLR or TRS connectors on the chassis. When the
number of channels exceed say 24 or 32, the advantages of using DB25 becomes even more compelling.
However, at times, customers want to connect standard XLR or TRS cables to these DB25 and do not prefer to
use the DB25 to XLR/TRS pig tail cables. In such situations, XLR to DB25 patch bay or break out box is the ideal
solution. The Mamba XDB product offers an ideal way to connect normal XLR or TRS cables and patch to a DB25
connector on the pro audio equipment such as Digital snakes. A simple and inexpensive DB25-DB25 cable such as
DBD-300 from Hosa (cost approx US$15) would be sufficient for connection between Mamba XDB and pro audio
device.
Some of the key features of Mamba XDB are:
32 channels of XLR M or F/TRS combo on 4 DB25
DB25 compliant to Tascam/Fostex analog pin out
Compact 2U rack mount chassis & closed box
Neutrik XLR quality and durable connectors
Modular approach with multiple input & output options
High quality DB25 connectors
Mount the unit front or rear on the rack
Only 2" depth
All connectors are mounted on PCB
All connections are routed on board (No wires)
No interference and clean analog pass thru
Very affordable
The Mamba XDB product is an ideal way to interface with Mamba Digital Snake where the input and output
interface is compliant to Tascam/Fostex DB25 8 channel analog standard. The Mamba line of Digital Snakes is
available in 16x8, 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 and 64x64 channel configurations over a single CAT-5/6 cable in a single

“PLUG AND PLAY” Digital Snake products in the market.
