Press and Mult Boxes for Rent in New York City
If you found this page then you most likely know what you're looking at. But if you don't, a "Mult" or "PressBox" is the way in which we audio engineers are able to deliver a clean 'board' audio signal to multiple journalists and camera people for broadcast. Typically you find these at press conferences where there are only 2 microphones at the podium but multiple news organizations that need the same feed.

Rental Rapco Horizon MDS-112 12 Channel Media Distribution System
Day Rate: $125
Weekly Rate: $275
Replacement cost: $2,331
The MDS media distribution system is perfect for press conferences or any situation requiring a single line level signal to be "split" multiple times. Its features include a rugged steel box, paralleled XLR female, XLR male, and 1/4 inch TRS inputs for balanced or unbalanced line level signals. Outputs are discrete isolated XLR males paralleled to 1/4 inch TRS. Channels 1 and 2 also have 3.5mm stereo outputs. Due to the D.C. blocking characteristics of a transformer, the isolated outputs will not pass phantom power.
