The SARMSS-16x1515 rack-mountable splitter snake handles the dual-console demands of professional live sound by sending 16 channels to two separate mixing positions simultaneously. This hardwired Y-splitter configuration eliminates the need for additional transformers or ground-lift switches while delivering clean signal paths for both front-of-house and monitor engineers.

Built around individually shielded pairs with 22-gauge heavy-duty conductors, this splitter snake maintains signal integrity across both 15-foot XLR trunk lines. The rack-mountable steel stage box features combo XLR/TRS inputs that accept both microphone and line-level sources, while the dual fantails terminate in male XLR connectors for direct console connection.

Each channel features professional-grade XLR connectors and combo jacks that accommodate standard microphone and instrument inputs. The 2U rack-mountable design fits standard equipment racks, while the heavy-duty steel construction with integrated handle supports both permanent installations and mobile setups. At 14.9 pounds, the snake provides substantial build quality without excessive weight for transport.

Perfect for venues running separate monitor and FOH consoles, recording studios requiring dual feed capabilities, or any application where signal splitting from a central stage box is essential. The dual 15-foot trunk configuration works well in medium-sized venues where both consoles can be positioned within reasonable distance of the stage.

Each connector and cable segment is clearly labeled for quick setup. Ships with one-year warranty and fast delivery nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this splitter snake pass phantom power to condenser microphones?

Yes, the SARMSS-16x1515 passes 48V phantom power from your mixing console to condenser microphones connected at the stage box. The hardwired Y-splitter design maintains full phantom power compatibility, ensuring condenser mics receive the power they need for proper operation. This makes it suitable for vocal mics, instrument condensers, and other phantom-powered devices.

How is this different from a regular snake cable?

Unlike a standard snake that sends signals to one destination, this splitter snake sends each input signal to two separate outputs simultaneously. Each channel splits the signal from one stage box input to two different fantail outputs, allowing you to feed both a front-of-house console and a monitor console from the same stage inputs without additional equipment.

How do the combo jacks work on the stage box?

The combo jacks accept both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections in the same jack, providing flexibility for different source types. You can plug a microphone with XLR directly into the combo jack, or use a 1/4" cable from an instrument or DI box. The jack automatically accommodates whichever connector type you insert.

What are the typical installation applications for this splitter snake?

This configuration works well for venues with separate FOH and monitor mixing positions, recording studios that need to split live signals to multiple consoles, and mobile rigs where both house sound and stage monitoring require independent console control. The rack-mountable design suits permanent installations in venues, studios, or houses of worship.

Why does this model have two 15-foot trunks instead of different lengths?

The dual 15-foot trunk configuration provides equal positioning flexibility for both mixing consoles, making it ideal when your FOH and monitor positions are roughly the same distance from the stage. This balanced setup works well in rectangular venues where both consoles can be positioned at similar distances from the stage box location.
