The SALS-16x8x150 serves bands, churches, and event production companies running medium to large live sound setups where flexibility and reliable signal routing matter. This 150-foot snake handles the critical connection between your mixing console and stage, eliminating the need to run individual cables across long distances.

This 16-channel snake delivers clean signal transmission through 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors with individual shielding on every pair for superior RF rejection. The steel stage box provides 16 XLR sends and 8 returns that accommodate both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections, giving you options for different monitor systems and outboard gear.

At 150 feet, this snake works for outdoor festivals, large churches, conference centers, and venues where the mixing position sits well back from the stage. The heavy-duty steel stage box withstands road use, while both the fantail and box feature clear numerical labeling plus color coding for quick setup in low-light conditions. Each connection point includes strain relief to prevent cable damage during repeated use.

Connect your mixing console's direct outputs to the fantail XLR connectors, then use the stage box to distribute signals to amplifiers, powered speakers, or monitor systems. The dual return options let you run both XLR and TRS monitor feeds without adapters.

Seismic Audio backs this snake with a one-year warranty and ships it ready to handle professional live sound applications where signal integrity and setup speed determine show success.

Frequently Asked Questions

What venue sizes work best with a 150-foot snake cable?

This length handles large churches, outdoor festivals, conference centers, and venues where your mixing position sits 100+ feet from the stage. It's ideal for events accommodating 500-2000 people where cable runs need to cross significant distances without signal loss.

Can I use both XLR and TRS returns simultaneously?

Yes, the 8 return channels at the stage box provide both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections wired in parallel. You can connect XLR to powered monitors and TRS to amplifier inputs, or use whichever connector type matches your gear without needing adapters.

How does the individual shielding prevent interference?

Each of the 24 conductors (16 sends + 8 returns) runs in its own shielded pair, preventing crosstalk between channels and blocking RF interference from wireless mics, lighting systems, and cell towers. This maintains clean signal transmission across the full 150-foot run.

What's the difference between the fantail and stage box connections?

The fantail has 16 XLR sends plus 4 XLR and 4 TRS returns that connect to your mixing console. The stage box provides 16 XLR sends for instruments/mics and 8 returns with both XLR and TRS jacks wired in parallel for maximum monitor system flexibility.

Will this snake work with digital mixing consoles?

Yes, this analog snake works with any mixing console that has XLR and TRS analog outputs. For digital consoles, connect the snake to the console's analog I/O section, not the digital networking ports. The individual channel shielding ensures clean analog signal transmission.
