SASRT-16x10 - 16 Channel 1/4" TRS Snake Cable - 10 Feet
The SASRT-16x10 snake cable is built for live sound engineers, studio technicians, and mobile performers who need reliable multi-channel patching between mixers and outboard gear. This 16-channel TRS snake handles effects sends, returns, and monitor feeds with professional-grade construction.
Each channel features 1/4" TRS connectors on both ends, making this snake ideal for connecting mixing consoles to effects racks, amplifiers, or monitor systems. The balanced TRS design reduces noise and interference in your signal chain, critical for maintaining clean audio in complex setups.
The 10-foot length provides flexibility for rack-to-mixer connections without excess cable cluttering your workspace. High-purity 22-gauge copper conductors ensure optimal signal transfer, while gold-tipped connectors resist corrosion and provide reliable connections over time. Each channel is color-coded and numerically labeled for quick identification during setup and troubleshooting.
This snake excels in recording studios for patching outboard processors, live venues for monitor sends, and mobile DJ setups where multiple zones need individual control. The serviceable ends mean you can repair connectors in the field rather than replacing the entire cable, reducing long-term costs for touring professionals.
Connect your mixing console's aux sends to the snake's input end, then route individual channels to amplifiers, effects units, or stage monitors. The complete snake cable is included with your purchase, backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and fast shipping to get your system connected quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between TRS and XLR snake cables?
TRS snakes use 1/4" balanced connections commonly found on mixing consoles, effects units, and amplifiers. XLR snakes typically handle microphone inputs and main outputs. This TRS snake is designed for patching between mixers and outboard gear, not for microphone connections.
Can I use this snake for connecting monitors to my mixer?
Yes, this TRS snake works well for monitor sends from your mixing console to powered monitors or monitor amplifiers. Connect the snake to your mixer's aux outputs, then run individual channels to each monitor zone or amplifier input.
How many channels do I actually need for a typical live setup?
Most small to medium venues use 8-12 channels for monitor sends, effects returns, and zone feeds. This 16-channel snake provides room for growth and complex routing without needing multiple smaller snakes cluttering your setup.
What does "serviceable ends" mean for this snake cable?
Serviceable ends allow you to disassemble and repair individual connectors if they become damaged, rather than replacing the entire snake. This feature saves money for touring professionals and permanent installations where cables see heavy use.
Will this snake work with my digital mixer's analog outputs?
Yes, most digital mixers include analog TRS outputs for aux sends, effects returns, and monitor feeds. Check your mixer's manual to confirm it has 1/4" TRS outputs rather than XLR-only connections before ordering.
