The SALS-32x8x100 is built for large live sound applications where you need to run 32 channels from your mixer to the stage and eight channels back to front of house. This 100-foot snake handles everything from full band productions to corporate events requiring extensive microphone coverage.

This dual-format return system gives you maximum flexibility at the stage box. Each of the eight returns offers both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections in parallel, so you can send monitor feeds via XLR to powered speakers or use TRS for direct instrument feeds without adapters.

The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors with individual shielding deliver clean signal transmission across the full 100-foot run. The heavy-duty steel stage box includes a carry handle and withstands the demands of touring and rental applications. Both the fantail and stage box feature clear numerical labeling, with color-coded fantail wires for quick identification in low-light situations.

This snake works well for venues accommodating 500-1,500 people, from mid-size theaters to outdoor festivals requiring long cable runs. It's equally suited for permanent installations in churches or event centers where the mixing position sits far from the stage.

The fantail connects directly to your mixer's XLR outputs, while the stage box provides all your microphone inputs and monitor sends in one location. The system includes strain relief at both ends to prevent cable damage during setup and breakdown.

Seismic Audio backs this snake with a one-year warranty and ships it ready for immediate deployment in professional applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venues work best with this 32-channel snake?

This snake is designed for mid to large venues accommodating 500-1,500 people, such as theaters, concert halls, festival stages, and large churches. The 100-foot length provides the cable run needed when your mixing position is far from the stage, making it ideal for outdoor events and venues with balcony or rear mixing positions.

How do the dual-format returns work on the stage box?

Each of the eight return channels on the stage box offers both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections wired in parallel. This means you can use XLR to send monitor mixes to powered speakers while simultaneously using the TRS connections for direct instrument feeds or line-level sources. Both connectors carry the same signal, giving you maximum connection flexibility.

Can I use this snake for both live sound and recording applications?

Yes, the oxygen-free copper conductors and individual shielding make this snake suitable for both live and studio applications. The numerical labeling and color-coded fantail help organize complex recording sessions, while the rugged steel stage box handles the demands of live performance and touring.

What's the difference between the fantail and stage box return connections?

The stage box has eight returns, each with both XLR and TRS connections in parallel. The fantail end has eight return connections split as four XLR and four TRS connectors. This configuration lets you route different types of signals efficiently – use XLR returns for balanced line signals and TRS returns for instrument-level sources.

Do I need any additional cables to connect this snake to my mixer?

No additional cables are required for the main connections. The fantail XLR connectors plug directly into your mixer's outputs, and microphones connect directly to the stage box inputs. You may need standard XLR or TRS cables to connect from the return outputs to your monitors or recording interface, depending on your specific setup requirements.
