The SASRT-8x5 8-channel TRS snake cable streamlines your studio connections and live sound routing in a compact 5-foot format. Built for musicians, engineers, and venues that need reliable signal paths between mixing consoles, effects processors, and other balanced audio gear.

This TRS snake delivers eight balanced mono connections through a single bundled cable, eliminating cable clutter while maintaining signal integrity. The 1/4" TRS connectors on both ends handle line-level signals from synthesizers, drum machines, effects units, and mixing console sends and returns.

Each channel uses 22-gauge high-purity copper conductors with gold-tipped connectors for consistent signal transfer. The serviceable ends let you repair connections in the field rather than replacing the entire cable. Color coding and numerical labeling on each connector prevents miswiring during setup and teardown.

Perfect for connecting outboard gear in project studios, linking effects processors to mixing consoles, or routing monitor sends in small venues. The 5-foot length works well for desktop setups, equipment racks, and stage applications where you need multiple balanced connections without excessive cable length.

Simply connect the numbered ends between your source and destination equipment—mixer to effects rack, keyboard to interface, or console to amplifier inputs. The TRS connectors work with any gear that accepts balanced 1/4" connections.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between TRS and TS snake cables?

TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connectors carry balanced signals with separate conductors for hot, cold, and ground connections. This provides better noise rejection and signal quality compared to TS (tip-sleeve) cables, which only carry unbalanced mono signals. Use TRS snakes when connecting professional audio gear that supports balanced connections.

Can I use this snake cable to connect my mixer to powered speakers?

This snake works best for line-level connections between balanced audio equipment like mixing consoles, effects processors, and audio interfaces. For connecting mixers to powered speakers, you'll typically need individual XLR or 1/4" cables rated for the specific input requirements of your speakers.

How many channels do I need for a small band setup?

An 8-channel snake handles most small venue applications—four channels for band monitors, two for effects sends, and two spare channels for additional routing. If you're running a larger band or need more monitor mixes, consider stepping up to a 12 or 16-channel snake.

What does "serviceable ends" mean?

Serviceable ends allow you to open the connector housing and repair or replace internal connections if they fail. This field-repairable design extends the cable's lifespan and prevents having to replace the entire snake if one connector develops issues during regular use.

Will this cable work with my audio interface and DAW setup?

Yes, if your audio interface has 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs. This snake works well for connecting interfaces to outboard preamps, compressors, or other processors. Check that your interface supports balanced TRS connections rather than unbalanced TS to get the full benefit of the balanced signal path.
