The SAXQ-32x8x100 is a professional-grade multicore snake cable designed for live sound engineers, recording studios, and venues running complex audio setups. This 32-channel snake handles the signal routing between your mixing console and stage, eliminating the need for dozens of individual XLR cables.

This snake delivers 32 sends from your mixer to the stage, plus 8 returns back to your console. The returns offer dual connectivity options — both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections on the stage box end — giving you flexibility to connect monitors, effects returns, or additional sources without carrying extra adapters.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and 100% individually shielded pairs, this snake maintains signal integrity across its 100-foot length. The heavy-duty steel stage box includes a carrying handle and clear numerical labeling, while the fantail features both numerical and color-coded identification for quick connections in low-light conditions.

Perfect for mid-sized venues, churches with full band setups, or recording studios needing extensive I/O between control room and live room. The 32-send capacity handles full drum kits, complete bands, or multi-keyboard rigs, while the 8 returns cover monitor mixes and effects.

Connects directly between your mixer's XLR outputs and microphone inputs. The stage box mounts easily on a stand or sits securely on stage. All necessary XLR connectors are included — no additional cables required.

Seismic Audio backs this snake with a one-year warranty and ships it ready to use out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venue can this 32-channel snake handle?

This snake works well for mid-sized venues up to 500 people, churches with full band setups, or recording studios. The 32 sends can handle a complete drum kit (8-12 channels), full band with keyboards and effects (15-20 channels), plus room for guest musicians or additional instruments. The 8 returns cover monitor mixes and effects sends back to your console.

Do I need any additional cables to use this snake?

No additional cables are required. The snake includes all XLR connectors on both the fantail and stage box ends. Simply connect the fantail XLRs to your mixer's outputs and the stage box XLRs to your microphones and instruments. The dual XLR/TRS returns on the stage box give you connection options without needing adapters.

How does the color coding work with the numerical labeling?

Both the fantail and stage box are numerically labeled 1-32 for the sends and 1-8 for the returns. The fantail additionally features color-coded connectors that correspond to the numerical labels, making it easier to identify connections in dark venues or during quick setup situations. This dual identification system reduces connection errors during live performances.

Can I use this snake for recording studio applications?

Yes, this snake works well for studios needing extensive I/O between control room and live room. The 100-foot length covers most studio layouts, while the 32 sends handle large tracking sessions with multiple musicians. The individually shielded pairs and oxygen-free copper conductors maintain signal quality over the full length, critical for recording applications.

What's the difference between this 32x8 snake and smaller channel counts?

The 32x8 configuration provides significantly more input capacity than 16 or 24-channel snakes, making it suitable for complex setups without requiring multiple snakes. You get 32 sends versus 16-24 in smaller models, plus the 8 returns handle monitor feeds and effects. This eliminates the need for separate return snakes that many smaller configurations require.
