SAJT-24x8x150 - 24 Channel XLR 150' Snake Cable (TRS Returns)
The SAJT-24x8x150 is a professional multicore snake cable built for live sound engineers, touring bands, and venues that need reliable signal routing between stage and mix position. This 24-channel system handles the full mic complement for most live performances while providing 8 TRS returns for monitor feeds.
At 150 feet long, this snake gives you the reach needed for larger venues, outdoor festivals, and situations where the mixing console sits well back from the stage. The heavy-duty steel stage box withstands the demands of touring while the color-coded fantail eliminates setup confusion during load-in.
Each of the 24 XLR sends uses 22-gauge conductors with individual shielding for clean signal transmission and superior RF rejection. The 8 quarter-inch TRS returns on the stage box handle monitor mixes, effects sends, or stereo playback feeds. Both the stage box and fantail feature clear numerical labeling, with additional color coding on the fantail for quick visual identification.
This snake works for bands running 16-20 microphones plus DIs, churches with full worship teams, and venues hosting touring acts. The 150-foot length covers most club-sized rooms, outdoor stages, and festival setups where FOH position sits toward the back of the audience area.
Connect XLR microphones and DI boxes to the stage box, then run the fantail to your mixing console's XLR inputs. TRS returns connect to your console's aux sends for monitor distribution. The system includes the complete snake cable with stage box and fantail ready to use.
Seismic Audio backs this snake with a one-year warranty and ships it ready for your next show. Professional-grade construction at a price that works for working musicians and sound companies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size venues can this 150-foot snake handle?
This snake works well for mid-sized clubs, outdoor stages, and festival setups where the mixing console sits 100-130 feet from the stage. The 150-foot length gives you enough reach for most rooms that hold 500-1500 people, with some cable to spare for routing around obstacles or elevated mix positions.
Do I need any additional cables to use this snake?
No additional cables are required. The snake includes XLR male connectors on the stage box end that connect directly to microphones and DI boxes. The fantail end has XLR female connectors that plug straight into your mixing console's mic inputs. The 8 TRS returns on the stage box connect to standard quarter-inch TRS cables for monitor feeds.
How does this 24x8 configuration compare to a 32-channel snake?
A 24x8 snake handles most live band setups including drums (8+ mics), bass, guitars, keys, and vocals, plus 8 monitor returns. You'd need a 32-channel snake for larger productions with extensive mic arrays, orchestra sections, or complex keyboard rigs requiring more than 24 inputs. The 24x8 covers about 80% of typical live sound applications.
Can I use this snake for studio recording?
Yes, this snake works well for studio tracking sessions, especially for recording live bands or drum sessions requiring multiple microphones. The individual shielding on each pair ensures clean signal transmission for recording applications. The TRS returns can handle headphone mixes or effects sends during tracking.
What's the difference between the color coding and numerical labeling?
The numerical labeling appears on both the stage box and fantail for precise channel identification - channel 1 is always channel 1. The color coding on the fantail provides quick visual reference during setup, making it easier to group related channels (like all drum mics) and spot-check connections under stage lighting conditions.
