The SARLX-12x15 is a 12-channel XLR snake cable built for bands, sound engineers, and venues that need reliable stage-to-mixer connections. This 15-foot snake simplifies cable management while delivering balanced audio transmission from microphones and instruments to your mixing console.

Each channel uses XLR connectors for balanced audio signals, reducing noise and interference compared to unbalanced connections. The balanced design helps maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments like stages with lighting rigs and amplifiers.

Built with 22 AWG copper wire and proper shielding, this snake handles professional audio signal levels without degradation. Each of the 12 channels is color-coded and numerically labeled for quick setup and teardown. The 15-foot length works well for small to medium stages, rehearsal rooms, and studio control room connections.

Use this snake for connecting stage microphones to front-of-house mixers, linking instrument DI boxes to your console, or running monitor sends back to stage. It works in churches, school auditoriums, small venues, and recording studios where you need multiple balanced audio connections without the clutter of individual XLR cables.

The snake features 12 female XLR inputs on one end and 12 male XLR outputs on the other, connecting directly to standard microphones and mixing console inputs. No additional adapters or cables needed for most professional audio gear.

Seismic Audio backs this snake with a 1-year warranty and ships ready to use out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This 15-foot length is ideal for small to medium stages, rehearsal rooms, home studios, and church sanctuaries where the mixing console is positioned relatively close to the performance area. It works well for venues up to 200-300 people where the mixer is within 10-12 feet of the stage edge, allowing some slack for cable routing.

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

No additional cables are needed for standard setups. The snake has female XLR inputs that connect directly to microphones, DI boxes, and other sources, while the male XLR outputs plug straight into mixing console inputs. Most professional audio gear uses standard XLR connections, so this snake integrates without adapters.

How does this compare to running individual XLR cables?

A 12-channel snake significantly reduces setup time and stage clutter compared to running 12 separate XLR cables. You get better cable management, faster troubleshooting with numbered channels, and reduced trip hazards. The bundled design also provides better strain relief and durability for frequent setup and teardown.

Can I use this snake for both microphones and instrument signals?

Yes, this snake works with any balanced audio source that uses XLR connectors. Connect vocal microphones, instrument microphones, DI boxes for bass and keyboards, and other line-level sources. The balanced XLR connections handle both microphone-level and line-level signals effectively.

Will this snake work with my digital mixer or analog console?

This snake works with any mixing console that has XLR inputs, including both analog and digital mixers. The XLR connections are industry standard, so it's compatible with brands like Yamaha, Allen & Heath, Behringer, PreSonus, and others. Just plug the male XLR ends into your console's mic inputs.
