The SADMS-6x30 sub snake solves the common problem of extending your main snake to reach distant stage positions or additional inputs. This 30-foot, 6-channel compact sub snake connects directly to your existing audio snake or console, giving you six additional XLR inputs exactly where you need them.

The compact steel stage box measures just 5" x 3.5" x 2", making it easy to position on crowded stages or in tight studio spaces. Each of the six channels uses individually shielded conductor pairs for maximum noise rejection, ensuring your signal stays clean from stage box to console.

The stage box features six XLR female inputs with numerical labeling, while the fantail end provides six XLR male connectors that plug directly into your mixer or audio interface. Metal mesh strain relief at the stage box protects the cable connections from the wear that kills cheaper snakes. At 6.1 pounds, it's substantial enough to stay put but light enough for easy transport.

This sub snake works well for extending your drum mic setup, adding a keyboard station, or reaching that awkward stage corner where the acoustic guitar player always stands. It's particularly useful in small venues, recording studios, and solo gigs where you need just a few extra channels without the bulk of a full multicore snake.

Everything you need comes in the box - just plug the XLR male connectors into your existing snake returns or console inputs, and you're ready to route audio from the compact stage box. One-year warranty and fast shipping from Seismic Audio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this sub snake and a regular audio snake?

A sub snake extends your existing snake or mixer inputs, while a main snake is your primary multicore connection from stage to console. This 6-channel sub snake plugs into your existing setup to add six more input channels exactly where you need them. It's perfect when your main snake doesn't reach that extra keyboard setup or drum kit position.

Can I connect this directly to my mixing board?

Yes, the six XLR male connectors on the fantail plug directly into any mixer or audio interface with XLR inputs. You can also connect it to the return box of your existing snake system to extend those channels to a new stage location. The stage box then gives you six female XLR inputs to plug your mics and DI boxes into.

How many musicians can this handle for a small gig?

This 6-channel snake works well for a solo performer with multiple instruments, a duo with keyboards and vocals, or as an extension for a small band's drum kit. Six channels typically covers a basic drum setup (kick, snare, hi-hat, overhead) plus a couple extra mics, or a keyboard rig with multiple outputs plus vocals.

Is 30 feet long enough for most stages?

The 30-foot length works well for small to medium venues, recording studios, and most club stages. It's ideal for reaching from your main mixing position to a drum riser, keyboard station, or acoustic corner setup. For larger venues or outdoor stages, consider the 50-foot version or a longer main snake.

What cables do I need to use this with my equipment?

The sub snake includes all necessary connections - just plug the XLR male fantail directly into your mixer inputs or existing snake returns. On the stage end, use standard XLR cables to connect your microphones and DI boxes to the female inputs on the compact stage box. No additional adapters or cables required.
