Description
The LNDR MIDI Line Driver extends MIDI beyond its 15 metre (50 feet) specification using CAT5 cables.
Extending MIDI to 500m
This is over 33 times the distance achievable using standard MIDI cables.
The LNDR MIDI Line Driver’s combination of balanced line drivers and twisted pair cable (CAT5e) gives a high degree of immunity to noise, which results in a very high degree of signal integrity – in plain language, a very reliable MIDI link over much greater distances than can be achieved with ordinary MIDI connections.
CAT5e cable is recommended: CAT5 cable will limit the transmission length to 100m.
CAT5 / CAT5e cable is not included (we don’t know what length you need!) Please see below for cables.
The CAT5 cable from an LNDR main unit should only be connected to an LNDR secondary unit, not to another main unit, and NEVER to any other device, even if it has a similar connector. (e.g. Ethernet).
Frequently Asked Questions
I already have some MIDI Line Driver Pros – can I mix-and-match MIDI Line Driver Pros and MIDI Line Drivers?
The MIDI Line Driver and MIDI Line Driver Pro share the same communications protocol, so you can use a Line Driver at one end and a Line Driver Pro at the other. You can use plain RJ45 connectors rather than etherCON with the MIDI Line Driver Pro.
