The SACB-24x4x100 is built for live sound engineers and venue technicians who need reliable signal routing between stage and mixing position. This 24-channel snake handles the connection demands of medium to large productions with 100 feet of reach.

The snake delivers 24 XLR male sends from the stage box to your mixing console, plus 4 XLR female returns for monitor feeds or effects sends. Circuit board technology inside the steel stage box ensures solid, consistent connections that won't fail mid-show.

Each of the 24 channels uses 25-gauge conductors with individual shielding to prevent crosstalk and reject interference. The heavy-duty steel stage box measures 10.75" x 8" x 2.75" with numerical labeling, while the fantail end features both color coding and numerical labels for fast identification during setup. At 33 pounds, it's built for the road but manageable for mobile rigs.

Perfect for bands playing theaters, churches with 200-400 seat sanctuaries, or DJ setups at wedding venues and corporate events. The 100-foot length covers most stage-to-booth distances without requiring extensions. Also ideal for permanent installations in conference centers or performance halls.

The snake terminates in professional XLR connectors that connect directly to mixing consoles, stage boxes, and powered speakers without adapters. Everything needed for operation is included.

Seismic Audio backs this snake with a one-year warranty and ships ready to work. Professional-grade construction at a price point that works for working musicians and sound companies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What venues does a 100-foot snake cable work best for?

The 100-foot length is ideal for theaters, mid-size churches (200-400 seats), hotel ballrooms, and outdoor festival stages where the mixing position is set back from the stage. It covers most front-of-house distances without requiring extensions, while being manageable enough for mobile setups that pack up nightly.

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

Circuit board technology eliminates the weak point of traditional snakes - hand-wired connections inside the stage box. Instead of individual wire connections that can loosen or corrode, the XLR connectors mount directly to a circuit board, creating more reliable signal paths that maintain consistent performance over years of use.

What mixing consoles and equipment connect to this snake?

The 24 XLR male connectors plug directly into the mic inputs on any professional mixing console, while the 4 XLR female returns connect to your console's aux sends or monitor outputs. No adapters needed - it's designed to work with standard pro audio gear from Yamaha, Allen & Heath, Behringer, and other major brands.

Do I need the full 24 channels or should I get a smaller snake?

Most bands use 16-20 channels for a full setup with drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, and vocals. The extra channels give you room for additional mics, direct boxes, or future expansion without buying a new snake. If you're running a basic 8-12 input setup, consider a 16-channel model to save on cost and weight.

How does individual shielding prevent interference in live sound applications?

Each of the 24 signal pairs has its own shield, preventing crosstalk between channels and blocking interference from power cables, wireless systems, and lighting equipment. This means channel 1 won't bleed into channel 2, and external RF interference won't contaminate your audio signals during the show.
