The SALS-12x4x50 is engineered for bands, venues, and rental companies who need reliable multichannel audio transmission across longer distances. This 50-foot snake handles 12 input channels plus 4 returns, making it ideal for medium to large stage setups where the mixing console sits well back from the stage.

This snake provides clean signal routing from stage to front-of-house position, eliminating the need for multiple individual cable runs. The heavy-duty steel stage box withstands regular load-ins and teardowns while maintaining secure connections throughout your performance.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and individual shielding on each pair, the SALS-12x4x50 delivers professional signal integrity with superior RF rejection. The returns offer maximum flexibility with both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections at the stage box, while the fantail end provides 2 XLR and 2 TRS return connections. Color-coded and numerically labeled connectors speed setup and prevent wiring mistakes in low-light conditions.

Perfect for venues accommodating 200-500 people, outdoor festivals, or any application where the mix position is positioned far from the stage. Works equally well for studio tracking sessions requiring multiple microphone feeds with dedicated monitor returns.

Connects between your mixing console's direct outs and stage inputs, with returns feeding from stage monitors or effects sends back to the board. Everything needed is included in this complete snake system.

Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and fast shipping, this snake provides the professional connectivity your productions demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venue is this 50-foot snake best suited for?

The SALS-12x4x50 works well for venues seating 200-500 people where the mixing console needs to be positioned 40-50 feet from the stage. This includes mid-size clubs, outdoor pavilions, festival stages, and church sanctuaries with rear-positioned sound booths.

Can I use both XLR and TRS returns simultaneously on this snake?

Yes, the stage box features 4 return channels with XLR and 1/4" TRS jacks wired in parallel, meaning you can plug into either connector type for each return channel. However, you cannot use both the XLR and TRS jack of the same return channel simultaneously as they carry the same signal.

What's the difference between the stage box returns and fantail returns?

The stage box end has 4 returns with both XLR and TRS jacks available for each channel, giving you connection flexibility on stage. The fantail (console) end has 2 XLR returns and 2 TRS returns, allowing you to connect different return types directly to your mixing console's aux sends or monitor outputs.

How many microphones can I connect with this snake?

This snake handles 12 send channels, so you can connect up to 12 microphones or direct inputs from the stage to your mixing console. The XLR connectors accommodate standard dynamic and condenser microphones, as well as DI box outputs from instruments.

Do I need any additional cables to use this snake system?

No additional cables are required - this is a complete snake system. Simply connect your microphones and instruments to the 12 XLR inputs on the stage box, run the fantail to your mixing console's channel inputs, and connect your monitor or effects sends to the return channels as needed.
