The SAXQ-24x4x100 is a professional 24-channel snake cable designed for live sound engineers, touring musicians, and venue operators who need reliable signal routing over distance. This 100-foot snake handles the full signal path from stage to mixing console with room to spare.

This snake delivers 24 XLR send channels plus 4 return channels, giving you complete control over your mix without the hassle of running individual cables. The return channels feature both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections on the stage box, providing flexibility for connecting monitors, effects processors, or powered speakers.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and 100% individually shielded pairs, this snake maintains signal integrity while rejecting RF interference. The heavy-duty steel stage box includes a carrying handle for easy transport, while the fantail features both numerical labels and color coding for quick identification during setup. At 51 pounds, it's substantial enough to handle professional use without being unwieldy.

Perfect for medium to large venues accommodating 200-500 people, outdoor festivals, theater productions, and touring rigs. The 100-foot length gives you flexibility to position your mixing console well back from the stage while maintaining clean signal paths. Works equally well for permanent installations in churches, schools, and performance halls.

Connect the fantail to your mixing console's XLR inputs and outputs, then run the stage box to your microphones and monitor sends. Everything you need is included – no additional cables required for basic setup.

Seismic Audio backs this snake with a one-year warranty and ships ready to use for your next show.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venues can this 24-channel snake handle?

This snake works well for medium to large venues seating 200-500 people, including clubs, theaters, outdoor festivals, and church sanctuaries. The 24 send channels accommodate full bands with multiple microphones, while the 100-foot length gives you flexibility to position your console at the back of most venues.

Do the return channels work with both XLR and 1/4" connections?

Yes, each of the 4 return channels features parallel XLR and 1/4" TRS connections on the stage box end. You can use either connection type or both simultaneously, making it easy to connect floor monitors, powered speakers, or effects processors without adapters.

How does this compare to a 16-channel snake for live sound?

The 24-channel configuration gives you 8 additional input channels compared to a standard 16-channel snake, which is crucial for larger bands or productions with multiple keyboards, drum mics, and vocal channels. The extra inputs eliminate the need for a second snake or DI box splitting for most applications.

What's included and do I need additional cables?

The snake includes the fantail (console end), stage box, and the 100-foot cable connecting them. You'll need standard XLR cables to connect from the fantail to your mixing console inputs/outputs, and XLR or 1/4" cables to connect microphones and monitors to the stage box.

Will this snake work with digital mixing consoles?

Yes, this analog snake works with any mixing console that has XLR inputs and outputs, including digital boards. The XLR connections are standard across all professional mixing consoles, and the individually shielded pairs prevent interference that could affect digital signal processing.
