The SASRT-12x5 is a professional 12-channel TRS snake cable designed for studios, live sound engineers, and musicians who need reliable multi-channel connections between mixing consoles and outboard gear. At 5 feet long, it's perfect for rack-to-console patching and studio routing applications.

This snake delivers clean signal transmission across 12 balanced TRS connections, eliminating the need for individual patch cables while reducing stage clutter. Each channel uses 22-gauge high-purity copper conductors with gold-tipped connectors to ensure reliable signal transfer and minimize connection issues during critical performances.

The cable features color-coded and numerically labeled channels for quick identification, while serviceable ends allow for field repairs when needed. The 1/4" TRS connectors make this snake ideal for connecting effects processors, compressors, and other outboard gear to mixing console insert points or auxiliary sends.

Use this snake for studio rack connections, monitor mixing setups, or patching effects chains in live sound applications. It's particularly valuable for engineers who regularly route multiple channels between a console and nearby rack gear, where longer snakes would create unnecessary cable loops.

The SASRT-12x5 connects mixing consoles to outboard processors, rack-mounted effects units, or monitor systems using standard TRS connections. No additional cables required – just plug in and route your signals.

Seismic Audio backs this snake with a one-year warranty and ships it ready for immediate use in professional audio applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between TRS and XLR snake cables?

TRS snakes like the SASRT-12x5 use 1/4" balanced connections, making them ideal for patching between mixing consoles and outboard gear like compressors, effects units, and monitor systems. XLR snakes are typically used for microphone runs from stage to mixer, while TRS snakes excel at console-to-rack connections and effects routing.

Can I use this snake for microphone connections?

This TRS snake is designed for line-level signals and equipment patching, not microphone connections. For microphones, you'll need an XLR snake cable. The SASRT-12x5 works best connecting mixing console insert points to outboard processors, or routing signals between rack-mounted gear and your console.

Is 5 feet long enough for most studio setups?

The 5-foot length is perfect for console-to-rack connections where equipment is positioned close together, such as studio control rooms or compact live sound setups. If your rack is more than 4 feet from your mixing console, consider a longer snake cable to avoid strain on the connections.

What does "serviceable ends" mean for this snake cable?

Serviceable ends allow you to disassemble and repair the connectors if they become damaged, rather than replacing the entire cable. This feature is valuable for touring musicians and studios where cables see heavy use, as you can replace individual connector components or resolder connections as needed.

How do the color coding and numbering help during setup?

Each of the 12 channels features both color coding and numerical labels, making it easy to identify which channel connects where during setup. This eliminates guesswork when patching multiple effects or routing channels to specific console inputs, especially in low-light performance environments or crowded rack setups.
