SAJT-24x8x100 - 24 Channel XLR 100' Snake Cable (TRS Returns)
The SAJT-24x8x100 is a professional-grade multicore snake designed for live sound engineers, bands, and venues that need reliable signal routing between the mixing console and stage. This 100-foot cable handles 24 input channels plus 8 monitor returns, making it the backbone of medium to large live sound setups.
This snake delivers clean signal transmission through 24 XLR male connectors at the stage box and 24 XLR female connectors at the fantail, with 8 additional 1/4" TRS connectors on both ends for monitor returns. The heavy-duty steel stage box withstands the demands of touring and regular venue use, while the clearly labeled and color-coded fantail eliminates guesswork during setup.
Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, each channel features individual shielding for superior RF rejection and signal clarity. The 100-foot length provides flexibility for most venue configurations without excess cable to manage. Both ends feature heavy-duty strain relief to prevent connection failures under stress.
Perfect for live bands performing at mid-size venues (200-500 capacity), churches with contemporary worship setups, and mobile sound companies running multi-input productions. The 8 TRS returns handle stage monitors or in-ear monitor feeds directly from your mixing console.
The snake connects directly to any mixing console with standard XLR inputs and TRS monitor outputs. No additional cables needed beyond your microphone cables and monitor connections.
Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty with fast shipping nationwide. Professional-grade construction at a price point that makes sense for working musicians and sound companies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size venues work best with this 24-channel snake?
This snake handles venues from 200-500 people comfortably, including mid-size clubs, churches, conference centers, and outdoor festival stages. The 24 input channels accommodate full bands with drums, multiple guitars, bass, keyboards, and several vocal mics, while the 8 returns provide monitor feeds for band members or front-fill speakers.
Do the TRS returns work with both balanced and unbalanced signals?
Yes, the 1/4" TRS connectors handle both balanced and unbalanced signals. For monitor sends from your mixing console, use TRS cables for balanced operation and maximum noise rejection. The connections work equally well with powered monitors or feeding amplifiers for passive stage wedges.
How does this compare to snakes with more return channels?
This 24x8 configuration balances input capacity with essential monitor returns. If you need more than 8 monitor mixes, consider a 24x12 model, but most live sound applications work well with 8 returns - enough for drum mix, guitar mix, vocal mix, and several individual in-ear monitor feeds.
What mixing console connections do I need for this snake?
Your mixing console needs 24 XLR inputs (mic preamps) and 8 TRS auxiliary or monitor outputs. Most 32-channel and larger mixing consoles accommodate this setup easily. Digital consoles often provide the aux outputs on TRS connections, making this snake a direct fit.
Will the 100-foot length work for outdoor stages and large venues?
The 100-foot length covers most indoor venues and many outdoor stages where the mixing position sits within 75-80 feet of the stage. For larger outdoor festivals or venues with distant FOH positions, consider the 150-foot version of this same snake configuration.
