The SAXFRA-4x7 is designed for drum recording and live sound applications where space efficiency matters. This 4-channel snake cable features right-angle XLR female connectors that sit flush against equipment, making it ideal for tight mic placements and rack-mounted gear.

This 7-foot multi-channel snake cable connects four microphones or line sources to your mixer or audio interface using balanced XLR connections. The right-angle design reduces strain on connectors and minimizes the footprint around drum kits, amplifier racks, and other crowded setups.

Built with 22-gauge high-purity copper conductors, each channel delivers clean, balanced signal transmission that reduces noise and interference. Color-coded and numerically labeled channels (1-4) speed up setup and teardown, while serviceable ends allow for field repairs when needed.

Perfect for drum mic setups, small band configurations, and permanent installations in churches or venues with limited space behind equipment racks. The compact right-angle design works well in recording studios where multiple mics need to connect in tight spaces around drum kits or when running lines to rack-mounted preamps.

Simply connect your microphones to the XLR male ends and plug the right-angle female connectors into your mixer, preamp, or audio interface. The snake comes ready to use with all four channels clearly marked for quick identification.

Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and built road-ready for touring or permanent installation use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the right-angle XLR connectors better for drum applications?

Right-angle XLR female connectors sit flush against equipment and drum hardware, reducing the space needed behind your mixer or preamp. This design prevents connector damage from accidental kicks or movement around the drum kit and allows you to position racks closer to walls.

Can I use this snake cable with my audio interface for home recording?

Yes, this snake works perfectly with audio interfaces that have XLR inputs. Connect your drum mics to the XLR male ends and plug the right-angle female connectors into your interface's mic preamps. The balanced XLR connections provide clean signal transmission for professional recording quality.

How does the 7-foot length work for different drum kit sizes?

The 7-foot length handles standard drum kits with the mixer or interface positioned within reasonable distance. For larger kits or when your mixing position is farther away, you may need longer individual XLR cables or a longer snake. This length works well for compact recording setups and smaller live venues.

Are the connectors field-serviceable if one gets damaged?

Yes, both the XLR male and right-angle XLR female connectors feature serviceable ends. If a connector gets damaged on the road or in the studio, you can replace it without discarding the entire snake cable. This design saves money and reduces downtime during critical sessions or performances.

What's the difference between this and a standard straight-connector snake?

The main difference is the right-angle XLR female connectors that sit parallel to your equipment rather than sticking straight out. This reduces the depth needed behind your mixer or rack gear by about 2-3 inches per connection, making it ideal for space-constrained setups and preventing accidental disconnections.
