The SARLX-16x15 multicore snake cable connects your stage to mixing console with 16 balanced XLR channels over a single 15-foot run. Sound engineers, touring bands, and venues rely on this snake to eliminate the tangle of individual mic cables while maintaining professional signal quality.

This snake cable delivers clean, balanced audio transmission through 16 female-to-male XLR connections. Each channel uses 22 AWG copper conductors with proper shielding to reject interference and maintain signal integrity across all 16 channels simultaneously.

The numbered and color-coded channel identification system speeds up setup and prevents connection errors during live events. Shielded construction protects against electromagnetic interference from lighting systems and power cables. Each XLR connector meets professional standards for secure, reliable connections that won't fail mid-performance.

Perfect for band performances, church services, corporate events, and recording sessions where you need to run multiple microphones back to a mixing board. This 15-foot length works well for smaller stages and venues up to 200 people, providing enough reach without excess cable cluttering your setup.

Simply connect microphones and DI boxes to the female XLR ends, run the single snake to your mixer location, and plug the male XLR ends into your console's input channels. The snake includes all 16 channels in one integrated cable—no additional accessories required.

Seismic Audio backs this multicore snake with a one-year warranty. Built for regular gigging use, this snake cable delivers professional performance at a practical price point for working musicians and sound engineers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many microphones can I connect to this 16-channel snake?

This snake provides 16 individual XLR channels, so you can connect up to 16 microphones, DI boxes, or other balanced audio sources. Each channel is completely independent with its own shielded conductors, allowing you to run vocals, instruments, and other sources simultaneously without crosstalk between channels.

What venue size works best with a 15-foot snake cable?

The 15-foot length is ideal for smaller stages and venues up to 200 people where your mixing position is relatively close to the stage. This length provides enough reach for most club gigs, small church sanctuaries, and corporate meeting rooms without excess cable creating trip hazards or clutter.

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

No additional cables are required—this snake is complete and ready to use. Connect your microphones and instruments directly to the female XLR ends on the stage side, then plug the male XLR ends into your mixer's input channels. The snake includes all 16 channels in one integrated cable assembly.

How does the color coding system help during setup?

Each of the 16 channels features both numerical labels and distinct color coding, making it easy to identify which stage input connects to which mixer channel. This eliminates guesswork during setup and teardown, especially in low-light conditions or when multiple people are handling the installation.

Can this snake handle phantom power for condenser microphones?

Yes, this balanced XLR snake properly carries phantom power from your mixer to condenser microphones that require it. The shielded 22 AWG copper conductors and professional XLR connections maintain the +48V phantom power signal integrity across all channels that need it.
