The SALS-32x8x150 is built for live sound engineers, bands, and venues that need reliable multi-channel audio transmission over long distances. This professional snake cable handles complex mixing setups where you need to send multiple microphone and instrument signals from stage to your mixing console while routing monitor feeds and effects returns back to performers.

At 150 feet long, this snake provides the reach needed for large venues, outdoor festivals, or studio setups where your mixing position is far from the stage. The 32 XLR sends handle all your microphones and DI boxes, while the 8 return channels offer maximum flexibility with both XLR and TRS connections at the stage box.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and 100% individually shielded pairs, this snake maintains signal integrity across all 40 channels while rejecting RF interference. The heavy-duty steel stage box includes a carrying handle and robust strain relief, while the fantail end features clear numerical labeling plus color coding for quick identification during setup. Each connector uses professional-grade XLR construction designed for repeated plugging and unplugging.

This snake works well for mid-to-large venues accommodating 500+ people, outdoor festivals, recording studios with live rooms, and houses of worship with complex audio needs. Perfect for bands running multiple wireless systems, churches with large choirs and orchestras, or any application requiring simultaneous monitoring and effects sends.

Connect your mixing console's XLR outputs to the fantail, run the snake to your stage area, and plug microphones and instruments directly into the numbered stage box inputs.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What venue size does this 32-channel snake work best for?

This snake is ideal for venues that hold 500+ people, including concert halls, outdoor festivals, large churches, and recording studios. The 150-foot length provides enough reach for most mid-to-large venue configurations where your mixing console needs to be positioned far from the stage area, while the 32 send channels handle complex setups with multiple microphones, instruments, and wireless systems.

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

The stage box features 8 return channels, each offering both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections wired in parallel, so you can use whichever connector type matches your equipment. At the fantail end, you get 4 XLR returns and 4 TRS returns, giving you flexibility for connecting different types of monitor processors, effects units, or powered speakers that may require specific connector types.

Can I use this snake for recording studio applications?

Yes, this snake works well for studios with separate live rooms where you need to run multiple microphone signals over long distances. The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and individual shielding on each pair ensure clean signal transmission without interference, while the return channels let you send headphone mixes or cue feeds back to performers in the live room.

How much does this snake weigh and is it easy to transport?

At 101.4 pounds, this is a substantial cable that requires proper handling and storage. The steel stage box includes a carrying handle, but you'll want a cable ramp or assistance when moving it. The weight comes from the heavy-duty construction needed to maintain signal quality across 40 channels over 150 feet, making it built for permanent or semi-permanent installations rather than daily load-in/load-out situations.

What equipment do I need to connect to this snake?

You'll connect your mixing console's XLR main outputs to the fantail end, then plug microphones, DI boxes, and other stage sources directly into the numbered XLR inputs on the stage box. For the returns, connect your monitor console outputs or effects sends to the TRS or XLR return connectors on the fantail, then run monitor feeds or effects returns from the parallel connections at the stage box to your stage equipment.
