The SACB-12x4x100 is built for live sound engineers, touring bands, and permanent installations that need reliable, long-distance signal routing. This 100-foot multicore snake handles the critical connection between your stage and mixing position without signal degradation or noise interference.

This 12-channel snake delivers 12 mic-level sends from stage to mixer, plus 4 monitor returns back to stage, covering most band setups and small venue requirements. The low-profile circuit board design in the stage box ensures rock-solid connections that won't fail mid-show, while individually shielded pairs prevent crosstalk between channels.

Each of the 25-gauge conductors is individually shielded for maximum noise rejection, and the heavy-duty steel stage box is built to withstand repeated load-ins and transport. The stage box measures just 10.75" x 5.5" x 2.75", making it easy to position on crowded stages. Both the stage box and fantail connections are clearly labeled with numbers and color coding for fast setup in low-light conditions.

This configuration works well for bands with 8-12 inputs needing monitor sends, small venues up to 300 capacity, or houses of worship with multiple vocal mics and instruments. The 4 XLR female returns handle powered monitor feeds or effects returns without adapters.

High-quality XLR connectors on both ends connect directly to professional mixing consoles and monitor systems. The complete 22-pound assembly comes ready to use with no additional cables required.

Seismic Audio backs this snake with a full one-year warranty and ships from our warehouse within 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venues and crowds can this snake handle?

This 12x4 snake works well for small to mid-size venues up to 300 people, covering most band setups with room to spare. The 12 sends can handle a typical 5-piece band with individual drum mics, while the 4 returns provide monitor feeds or effects loops. It's also suitable for houses of worship, school auditoriums, and club installations.

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

No additional cables are required - this snake comes complete with XLR connectors on both ends. The sends terminate in male XLR connectors that plug directly into your mixing console's mic inputs, while the returns use female XLR connectors that accept standard XLR male cables from your monitor amps or mixer outputs.

How does the circuit board technology improve reliability compared to standard snakes?

The circuit board connections inside the stage box eliminate the weak point found in traditional snakes where individual wires are soldered to connectors. This creates more durable connections that resist failure from vibration, temperature changes, and repeated setup/teardown cycles common in live sound applications.

What's the difference between this 12x4 configuration and larger snakes?

The 12x4 format provides 12 microphone sends to your mixer and 4 returns back to stage, making it ideal for smaller productions. If you need more inputs for larger bands or more monitor mixes, consider the 16x4 or 24x8 models. For simple setups with no monitor returns needed, the 12x0 snake eliminates the return channels.

Will this snake work with my digital mixer and powered monitors?

Yes, this snake uses standard analog XLR connections that work with both analog and digital mixers with XLR inputs. The returns will connect to any powered monitor system or amplifier that accepts XLR inputs. The individually shielded pairs ensure clean signal transmission even with sensitive digital equipment.
