The SAXT-8x15M delivers professional multitrack recording and live sound connectivity with 8 balanced channels in a single, manageable snake cable. This 15-foot snake connects mixing consoles with TRS outputs to microphones, DI boxes, and other XLR-equipped sources, making it essential for studios, small venues, and mobile recording setups.

Each channel features color-coded connectors for quick identification during setup and teardown. The shielded, balanced design ensures clean signal transfer across all 8 channels simultaneously, eliminating the need for individual cable runs between your mixer and stage box or interface.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, this snake provides superior signal clarity and RF rejection for professional applications. The balanced design maintains signal integrity over the full 15-foot run, preventing noise and interference that can plague unbalanced connections in live sound environments.

Perfect for small band recordings, podcast setups with multiple microphones, or live sound applications in clubs and small theaters accommodating up to 150 people. The 15-foot length provides flexibility for typical studio control room to live room distances or front-of-house to stage connections.

One end terminates in 8 male XLR connectors for microphones or line sources, while the other features 8 TRS male connectors that plug directly into mixer line inputs or audio interface inputs.

Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and fast shipping. Professional-grade construction at a practical price point for working musicians and audio engineers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between TRS and TS connectors for this snake?

This snake uses TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connectors, which carry balanced signals and provide better noise rejection than TS (tip-sleeve) connectors. The balanced design is essential for professional audio applications where signal integrity matters. If your mixer only has TS inputs, you can still use this snake, but you'll lose the noise rejection benefits of balanced operation.

Can I use this snake for connecting my mixer to an audio interface?

Yes, this snake works well for connecting mixers with TRS line outputs to audio interfaces with XLR inputs. The 8 channels let you record multiple sources simultaneously, making it ideal for band recordings or multi-microphone podcast setups. Just ensure your interface has enough XLR inputs to accommodate all 8 channels.

What size venue can this 15-foot snake handle?

The 15-foot length works well for small to medium venues accommodating up to 150 people, typical studio control room to live room distances, or small stage setups where the mixer is positioned close to the performance area. For larger venues or longer runs, consider Seismic Audio's longer snake options to maintain proper signal levels.

Do I need a stage box with this snake cable?

No, this is a direct snake cable that doesn't require a stage box. It connects point-to-point from your mixer's TRS outputs directly to XLR sources like microphones or DI boxes. If you need fan-out capability or want to reduce wear on your mixer's connectors, you might consider a snake with a stage box instead.

Will this snake work with both dynamic and condenser microphones?

The snake itself will carry signals from both dynamic and condenser microphones, but remember that condenser mics require phantom power. Your mixer or audio interface needs to provide phantom power through the XLR connections, not the snake cable itself. The snake simply passes the phantom power from your mixer to the microphones along with the audio signal.
