The SALS-12x4x100 is built for live sound engineers, bands, and venues that need reliable multi-channel audio routing without the cable chaos. This 100-foot snake delivers 12 XLR sends from your mixing console to the stage, plus 4 flexible returns that accept both XLR and TRS connections.

At the heart of this snake are 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors with individual shielding on every pair, ensuring clean signal transmission even in RF-heavy environments. The heavy-duty steel stage box features both numerical labels and color-coded fantail wires, making setup fast and error-free during load-in.

The dual-connector return system sets this snake apart—each of the 4 returns provides both XLR and 1/4" TRS jacks in parallel, letting you connect monitor sends, effects returns, or DI feeds using whatever cable type works best for your rig. Both the fantail and stage box connections use strain relief to handle the constant plugging and unplugging of live performance.

Perfect for mid-size venues, outdoor festivals, and touring acts that need consistent 12-channel routing. The 100-foot length handles most stage-to-FOH distances while the rugged steel box survives load-ins, outdoor gigs, and transport in road cases.

Connect your mixing console's XLR outputs to the fantail, route the stage box to your inputs and monitors, and you're ready for sound check. Ships with everything needed for immediate deployment, backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and fast shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What venues and crowd sizes work best with this 12-channel snake?

This snake handles mid-size venues seating 200-800 people, outdoor festivals, and touring applications where you need 12 input channels from stage to FOH. The 100-foot length covers most club stages, outdoor pavilions, and theater setups where the mixing position is positioned away from the performance area.

Can I use both XLR and TRS returns at the same time?

Yes, the 4 return channels each provide both XLR and 1/4" TRS jacks wired in parallel, so you can connect to both simultaneously. This flexibility lets you send monitor mixes via XLR while using TRS for effects returns or additional feeds without needing adapters or splitters.

How does the individual shielding help with signal quality?

Each of the 16 conductors (12 sends + 4 returns) uses individual shielding around every twisted pair, preventing crosstalk between channels and rejecting RF interference from wireless systems, LED lights, and cell towers. This maintains clean audio even in challenging live sound environments.

What mixing consoles work with this snake configuration?

Any mixing console with XLR outputs connects directly to the fantail—from small format mixers like the Yamaha MG series to larger live consoles. The return section works with any mixer that has XLR or TRS auxiliary sends, monitor outputs, or effects sends.

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

The snake includes all necessary XLR and TRS connectors, so you only need standard XLR cables to connect from your mixing console to the fantail, and XLR or TRS cables from the stage box to your microphones, DIs, and monitor system. No adapters required.
