SAJT-16x4x100 - 16 Channel XLR 100' Snake Cable (TRS Returns)
The SAJT-16x4x100 delivers professional multichannel routing for bands, venues, and mobile performers who need reliable signal distribution from stage to front-of-house mixing position. This 100-foot snake cable handles 16 input channels plus 4 monitor returns in a single run.
Built around 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors with individual shielding on each pair, this snake maintains signal integrity across long cable runs while rejecting RF interference. The heavy-duty steel stage box features a carry handle and clear numerical labeling, while the fantail end uses color-coded wires for quick identification during setup and teardown.
Each of the 16 sends uses professional XLR connectors, handling microphones, DI boxes, and instrument inputs from the stage box to your mixer. The 4 TRS returns provide balanced 1/4" connections for sending monitor mixes, effects sends, or other signals back to the stage. Heavy-duty strain relief at both ends protects against cable damage from repeated use and transportation.
Perfect for live bands performing at clubs, outdoor festivals, or wedding venues where the mixing console needs to be positioned away from the stage. Also works well for churches, schools, and corporate events where clean cable management and professional presentation matter. The 100-foot length covers most medium to large venue requirements without signal loss.
Connects directly to any mixing console with XLR inputs and TRS outputs. No additional adapters needed. Ships complete and ready to use with Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and fast shipping to get your rig connected.

Frequently Asked Questions
What venues work best with a 100-foot snake cable?
This 100-foot length works well for most medium to large venues including clubs, theaters, outdoor stages, and wedding venues where you need to position the mixing console 75-90 feet from the stage. It's also perfect for church sanctuaries and school auditoriums where the sound booth is located at the back of the room. For smaller venues under 50 feet, consider a shorter snake to avoid excess cable on the floor.
Can I use this snake with any mixing console?
Yes, this snake works with any mixing console that has XLR inputs and TRS outputs. The 16 XLR sends connect directly to your mixer's mic inputs, while the 4 TRS returns plug into your console's aux sends or monitor outputs. No adapters needed, though you may want TRS-to-XLR cables if your console only has XLR aux outputs.
How does the 16x4 configuration compare to other snake options?
The 16x4 setup gives you 16 channels for mics and instruments going to your mixer, plus 4 returns for sending monitor mixes or effects back to the stage. This works well for most live bands and small to medium productions. If you need more returns for multiple monitor mixes, consider an 16x8 snake. For simpler setups, a 12x4 might be sufficient.
What's the difference between TRS and XLR returns?
TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) returns use balanced 1/4" connections that work directly with most mixing consoles' aux sends and monitor outputs. They're more compact than XLR and just as reliable for balanced signals. XLR returns would require adapters with most consoles, so TRS keeps your setup simpler and more professional.
Will this snake handle high-output instruments and hot signals?
Yes, the oxygen-free copper conductors and individual shielding on each pair handle professional signal levels without distortion or crosstalk between channels. The balanced design rejects noise pickup over the 100-foot run, maintaining clean signals from quiet vocal mics to hot instrument DI boxes. Heavy-duty strain relief protects the connections during transport and repeated setup.
