The SALS-24x8x100 is designed for live sound engineers, bands, and venues that need reliable multitrack audio routing over long distances. This 100-foot snake handles 24 input channels with 8 return channels, making it ideal for medium to large productions where the mixing console sits far from the stage.

This snake delivers 24 XLR sends from stage to your mixer position, plus 8 returns that offer both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections for maximum flexibility. The dual return format lets you send monitor mixes back to the stage using whatever connection your gear requires.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and 100% individually shielded pairs, this snake maintains signal integrity across its full 100-foot length. The heavy-duty steel stage box includes a carry handle and withstands the demands of frequent setup and teardown. Both the fantail and stage box feature clear numerical labeling, with color-coded fantail wires for quick identification during load-in.

This configuration works well for band performances, church services, and corporate events in venues accommodating 200-500 people. The 8-channel return capacity handles multiple monitor sends or effects loops back to the stage. Wedding bands and mobile DJs benefit from the mixed return connector types, which accommodate both professional monitor systems and consumer-grade gear.

Connect the stage box near your drum kit or main instrument cluster, run the fantail to your mixer, and use standard XLR and TRS cables for final connections. The snake includes both ends fully terminated with professional-grade connectors.

Seismic Audio backs this snake with a one-year warranty and ships it ready for immediate use in your live sound rig.

Frequently Asked Questions

What venue size does this 24x8x100 snake work best for?

This snake is ideal for venues seating 200-500 people where your mixing position is up to 100 feet from the stage. The 24 input channels handle full band setups including drums, multiple guitars, bass, keyboards, and vocals, while the 8 returns provide sufficient monitor sends for most medium-scale productions.

What's the difference between the XLR and TRS returns on this snake?

The stage box provides 8 return channels, each with both XLR and 1/4" TRS connectors wired in parallel. This means you can use either connector type for each return channel, giving you flexibility to connect professional monitor systems (XLR) or consumer gear (TRS) without adapters. The fantail end provides 4 XLR and 4 TRS returns.

Can I use this snake for recording studio applications?

Yes, this snake works well for studio setups where you need to route multiple channels between a control room and live room. The oxygen-free copper conductors and individual shielding provide clean signal transmission for recording applications, and the 100-foot length accommodates most studio layouts.

Do I need any additional cables to use this snake?

The snake comes fully terminated with XLR connectors on the sends and a mix of XLR and TRS on the returns. You'll need standard XLR microphone cables to connect from your mics to the stage box inputs, and XLR or TRS cables to connect the fantail returns to your mixer's aux sends or monitor outputs.

How does this compare to a 16-channel snake for smaller gigs?

This 24-channel snake provides 50% more input capacity than a 16-channel model, making it better for full bands with multiple keyboards, guitar rigs, or drum submixes. If you typically use 12-16 inputs, the extra channels give you room to grow without buying another snake. The 8 returns also exceed most smaller snakes' 4-return capacity.
