The SALS-24x8x150 delivers professional multicore connectivity for live sound engineers, band techs, and venue operators managing complex audio setups. This 150-foot snake handles full-scale productions where you need reliable signal routing between stage and front-of-house positions.

Built around 24 XLR sends for microphones and instruments, plus 8 returns that accept both XLR and TRS connections, this snake adapts to any mixing console configuration. The dual-connector returns on the stage box eliminate the need for separate adapters when running monitor mixes or effects returns.

Each of the 32 total channels uses individually shielded pairs with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, ensuring clean signal transmission across the full 150-foot length. The heavy-duty steel stage box withstands road use, while both the fantail and box feature clear numerical labeling plus color-coded identification for quick setup in low-light conditions.

This configuration works well for mid-to-large venues accommodating 200-500 people, outdoor festivals, houses of worship with distributed sound zones, and touring acts that need flexible monitor routing. The 8-return setup handles multiple monitor mixes, effects sends, or recording feeds without cable swapping.

Connect your mixing console's XLR outputs to the fantail, then route the stage box returns to your monitor console, effects processors, or recording interface using either XLR or TRS connections as needed. The complete snake system ships ready to deploy.

Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty with fast shipping nationwide. Professional-grade construction at a practical price point for working sound engineers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What venues and crowd sizes work best with this 24-channel snake?

This snake configuration handles mid-to-large venues seating 200-500 people, outdoor festivals, concert halls, and houses of worship with complex sound zones. The 24 sends accommodate full band setups with multiple microphones, while 8 returns manage monitor mixes and effects routing for professional productions.

Can I use both XLR and TRS connections simultaneously on the returns?

Yes, the stage box returns feature XLR and TRS connectors wired in parallel, meaning you can use either connector type without adapters. However, only use one connector per channel at a time - don't plug into both the XLR and TRS simultaneously as this can cause signal issues and impedance problems.

How does this compare to a 24x4 or 24x12 snake configuration?

The 24x8 offers a middle-ground solution - more return flexibility than a 24x4 for monitor mixing and effects, but more manageable than a 24x12 for most mid-size productions. Eight returns handle stereo monitor mixes for four performers, effects sends, and recording feeds without the complexity and cost of a 12-return system.

What mixing consoles work with this snake's connector configuration?

Any mixing console with XLR main outputs will connect directly to the 24 XLR sends. For the returns, consoles with XLR aux sends work directly, while consoles with TRS aux outputs connect using the parallel TRS jacks on the stage box. Most digital and analog consoles from Yamaha, Allen & Heath, Soundcraft, and Behringer are compatible.

Do I need any additional cables or adapters to use this snake?

The snake includes all internal wiring and connectors needed for operation. You'll need standard XLR cables to connect your mixing console outputs to the fantail, and either XLR or TRS patch cables to connect the stage box returns to your monitor console, effects units, or recording interface depending on your gear's input requirements.
