4×4 Kickbox
Portable Active Splitter
Tough & Portable Pressbox
The Drawmer 4X4 Kickbox is a rugged, all-terrain 4-in / 16-out mic and line signal splitter built for demanding live and broadcast environments. From press conferences and sports events to OB trucks, live recording, and corporate productions, the Kickbox delivers reliable, high-quality audio distribution wherever portability and performance matter.
Engineered for the road, it combines exceptional sonic clarity with a compact, self-contained enclosure designed to withstand real-world use. Active signal splitting ensures pristine audio integrity, even across long cable runs, making the 4X4 a dependable hub for complex audio setups.
Studio-Grade Sound, Anywhere
Each of the four premium mic/line preamps provides up to 66dB of variable gain and features independent bargraph metering, mic/line switching, 48V phantom power, and headphone monitoring. The result is precise control, low noise performance, and generous headroom in any operating environment.
The sixteen balanced outputs include optional transformer isolation, transformer-loaded LED status indicators, and flexible linking options for expanded routing. This design ensures consistent signal quality while protecting against ground loops and interference.
“I was particularly impressed with the sound of the KickBox. It has outstanding specs, it’s quiet, and there’s plenty of headroom. The preamps are studio quality with a warm and clear sound.”
— Mark Woods, Audio Media
Flexible Configuration Options
The 4X4 Kickbox adapts easily to a wide range of signal distribution needs, including:
- 1 × 1-in / 16-out
- 2 × 1-in / 8-out
- 1 × 1-in / 12-out plus 1 × 1-in / 4-out
- 4 × 1-in / 4-out
Built for the Road
Designed with durability and practicality at its core, the 4X4 Kickbox is housed in a compact, road-proof enclosure with a removable lid for full access to controls and connections. Its interstackable design simplifies transport and setup, removing the need for bulky flight cases.
When closed and locked, the enclosure is dust-, water-, and corrosion-resistant, ensuring dependable performance in challenging environments where reliability is non-negotiable.
