The SACB-16x4x100 is built for live sound engineers and venue operators who need reliable multichannel routing between stage and front-of-house positions. This 16-channel snake handles everything from small club gigs to mid-sized venues with a 100-foot reach that covers most performance spaces without requiring extensions.

The snake delivers 16 individual send channels through XLR male connectors at the stage box, plus 4 XLR female return channels for monitor sends or effects loops. Circuit board technology inside the heavy-duty steel stage box ensures solid, consistent connections that won't fail mid-show.

Each of the 16 pairs uses 25-gauge conductors with individual shielding to prevent crosstalk and reject electromagnetic interference from lighting systems and wireless gear. The stage box measures 10.75" x 5.5" x 2.75" with a low-profile design that won't create trip hazards on crowded stages. Both the stage box inputs and fantail outputs are numerically labeled and color-coded for quick identification during setup and teardown.

Perfect for bands running 12-16 input sources, houses of worship with choir mics and instrument feeds, or mobile DJs who need monitor returns at the booth. The 100-foot length works well for venues holding 200-400 people where the mixing console sits toward the back of the room.

All XLR connectors are standard 3-pin professional grade, connecting directly to mixing consoles, power amps, and stage monitors without adapters. The complete snake cable weighs 25 pounds and includes everything needed for immediate use.

Seismic Audio backs this snake with a one-year warranty and ships ready to handle years of professional use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venues work best with this 100-foot snake cable?

The 100-foot length is ideal for venues holding 200-400 people where the mixing position sits at the back of the room or in a separate booth. This includes small to mid-sized churches, club venues, school auditoriums, and outdoor festival stages where front-of-house needs to be positioned away from the performance area.

Do I need any additional cables or adapters to use this snake?

No additional cables are required - the snake includes professional XLR connectors on both ends that connect directly to standard mixing consoles and microphones. The 16 sends use male XLR connectors for microphone inputs, while the 4 returns use female XLR connectors that accept standard male XLR cables from your console's aux sends or monitor outputs.

How does the circuit board technology improve reliability compared to standard snakes?

Circuit board technology eliminates the hand-soldered connections found in basic snakes, which are prone to failure from vibration and temperature changes during transport. The printed circuit board creates consistent, factory-precise connections that maintain signal integrity and reduce the risk of intermittent connections that can cause crackling or dropouts during performances.

Can I use this snake for both live sound and recording applications?

Yes, this snake works well for both live sound reinforcement and multi-track recording setups. The individually shielded pairs prevent crosstalk between channels, making it suitable for recording where channel separation is critical. The 4 return channels can handle monitor mixes in live applications or send processed signals back to your recording interface.

What's the difference between low-profile and standard snake boxes?

The low-profile design keeps the stage box under 3 inches tall, reducing trip hazards on crowded stages where performers and crew move around frequently. Standard snake boxes are often 4-6 inches tall and can create obstacles. The compact footprint also makes it easier to position the box near drum kits or in tight spaces without interfering with performance areas.
