The SALS-12x4x25 delivers professional multitrack connectivity for bands, venues, and mobile sound companies running complex live sound setups. This 12-channel snake handles your complete stage-to-console signal path with room for expansion.

Built around 12 XLR send channels and 4 return channels, this snake eliminates the cable mess between your mixing console and stage box. The return channels offer maximum flexibility with both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections running parallel, so you can send monitor mixes, effects returns, or playback signals using whichever connector type your gear demands.

At 25 feet, this snake suits mid-sized venues, rehearsal spaces, and outdoor stages where your console needs to sit back from the performance area. Every channel uses 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors with individual shielding to prevent crosstalk and RF interference. The heavy-duty steel stage box includes a carrying handle and clear numerical labeling, while the fantail end features both numbers and color coding for quick channel identification during setup.

Perfect for 8-12 piece bands, churches with full worship teams, or DJ setups requiring multiple microphones and playback sources. The parallel return configuration lets you run both balanced XLR monitor feeds and unbalanced instrument returns without adapter cables.

Connects directly to any mixing console with standard XLR outputs. Stage box accepts microphones, instruments, and DI boxes via standard XLR and 1/4" cables. Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty with fast shipping nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many people can this snake handle sound for?

This 12-channel snake works well for venues seating 100-400 people, depending on your mixing console's power and speaker setup. The 12 send channels accommodate full bands with drums, multiple vocals, guitars, bass, and keyboards, while the 4 returns handle monitor mixes and effects sends.

What's the difference between the XLR and TRS return connections?

The 4 return channels on the stage box feature parallel XLR and 1/4" TRS jacks, meaning each return channel has both connector types wired together. Use XLR for balanced monitor sends from your console, or plug directly into the TRS jacks for unbalanced signals like keyboard outputs or playback devices.

Will this snake work with my digital mixing console?

Yes, this snake works with any mixing console that has standard XLR inputs and outputs. Digital consoles, analog consoles, and powered mixers all use the same XLR connectivity standard. The snake simply extends your console's physical inputs and outputs to the stage.

How does the 25-foot length compare to shorter snake cables?

At 25 feet, this snake allows your mixing console to sit well back from the stage while maintaining clean signal transmission. It's ideal when you need the console in the audience area for better monitoring perspective, or when stage depth requires extra cable length for proper positioning.

Do I need any additional cables to use this snake?

You'll need standard XLR microphone cables to connect mics and instruments to the stage box, plus XLR cables from your console's outputs to the fantail end. The snake itself includes all internal wiring between the stage box and fantail connections.
