SAJT-12x4x50 - 12 Channel XLR 50' Snake Cable (TRS Returns)
The SAJT-12x4x50 snake cable connects your mixing console to stage microphones and monitors in venues up to 500 people. This 50-foot multicore eliminates the need for individual cable runs, reducing setup time and stage clutter for bands, touring acts, and venue sound engineers.
This snake handles 12 microphone sends through XLR connectors and 4 monitor returns via balanced TRS jacks. The heavy-duty steel stage box withstands road use while the color-coded fantail makes quick connections at your mixing position.
Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and individual shielding on each pair, this snake maintains signal integrity across the full 50-foot run. Both the stage box and fantail feature clear numerical labeling, with additional color coding on the fantail for fast identification during load-in. Heavy-duty strain relief at both ends protects against cable failure from repeated coiling and transport.
Perfect for mid-sized clubs, church sanctuaries, school auditoriums, and outdoor festivals where the mixing console sits 30-50 feet from the stage. The balanced TRS returns work with floor monitors, side fills, or powered speakers requiring line-level signals. The rugged construction handles weekly gigging and touring applications.
Connects directly between your mixing console's XLR outputs and TRS sends to the stage box, then fan out to individual microphones and monitors. The complete snake weighs 30 pounds and includes the steel stage box with handle for transport. Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty with fast shipping to get your rig connected and running.

Frequently Asked Questions
What venue size can this 50-foot snake handle?
This snake works well for venues up to 500 people where your mixing console sits 30-50 feet from the stage. Common applications include mid-sized clubs, church sanctuaries, school auditoriums, and outdoor festival stages. The 50-foot length provides flexibility for console placement while maintaining clean signal transmission.
Do the TRS returns work with my floor monitors?
Yes, the four balanced TRS returns connect to powered floor monitors, side fills, or any equipment requiring line-level signals. These are standard 1/4" TRS jacks that work with most monitor systems. You'll need TRS-to-TRS cables or TRS-to-XLR cables depending on your monitor inputs.
How does this compare to running individual cables?
This snake replaces 16 individual cable runs (12 mic cables plus 4 monitor feeds) with a single multicore cable. Setup time drops significantly, stage appearance stays clean, and you eliminate the risk of forgetting or losing individual cables. The trade-off is slightly higher upfront cost but much faster load-in and strike.
What mixing consoles work with this snake configuration?
Any mixing console with XLR outputs and TRS sends will work. This includes most analog and digital consoles from Allen & Heath, Yamaha, Behringer, Mackie, and similar brands. The XLR sends connect to your console's mic preamp outputs, while TRS returns connect to auxiliary sends or monitor outputs.
Can I use this snake for recording studio applications?
Absolutely. The individually shielded pairs and oxygen-free copper conductors maintain signal quality for studio recording. The numerical labeling and color coding speed up patch bay connections, and the balanced TRS returns work with studio monitors or outboard gear requiring line-level feeds.
