The SAXT-16x10M delivers 16 channels of balanced audio connectivity in a single, color-coded snake cable. This multicore snake connects mixing consoles with TRS outputs to outboard gear, stage boxes, or monitor systems with XLR inputs, streamlining your signal routing for live sound and studio applications.

This 10-foot snake eliminates the need for 16 separate cables, reducing setup time and stage clutter while maintaining professional signal integrity. Each channel features a 1/4" TRS connector on one end and male XLR on the other, providing the balanced connections essential for noise-free audio transmission.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, this snake delivers enhanced signal clarity and superior RF rejection. The shielded, balanced design prevents interference and crosstalk between channels. Color-coded connectors make channel identification quick and eliminate hookup errors during setup or troubleshooting.

Perfect for connecting mixing boards to stage boxes, monitor systems, or outboard processors in venues up to 500 capacity. Recording studios use these snakes to route console outputs to patch bays or external gear racks. Mobile DJs and bands rely on this snake for clean monitor feeds and effects sends during live performances.

The snake connects directly between TRS outputs on your mixer and XLR inputs on your destination gear. No additional adapters or cables required – just plug and play connectivity.

Seismic Audio backs this snake with a full one-year warranty and ships nationwide. Professional-grade construction meets the demands of touring musicians, sound engineers, and studio professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between TRS and TS connectors for this snake?

TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connectors carry balanced signals with better noise rejection, while TS (tip-sleeve) only carry unbalanced signals. This snake uses TRS connectors to maintain balanced connections throughout your signal chain, reducing hum and interference especially important with 16 channels of audio.

Can I use this snake to connect my mixer's main outputs to powered speakers?

This snake is designed for line-level connections between mixers and outboard gear or monitor systems, not for connecting to powered speakers. Most powered speakers accept XLR or 1/4" inputs directly from your mixer's main outputs using standard single cables.

How many people can I run sound for with a 16-channel snake?

A 16-channel snake typically handles venues up to 500 people, supporting full band setups with vocals, instruments, and monitor feeds. This gives you enough channels for drums (4-6), vocals (3-4), guitars/bass (3-4), keyboards (2), and monitor sends without running out of connections.

Will this work with my digital mixer's analog outputs?

Yes, if your digital mixer has 1/4" TRS analog outputs, this snake will work perfectly. Many digital mixers provide analog TRS outputs for connecting to external processors, monitor systems, or recording interfaces that accept XLR inputs.

What's the maximum distance I can run audio with this 10-foot snake?

This 10-foot snake maintains full signal integrity for its length. For longer runs, you can daisy-chain with XLR extension cables on the output side, though for permanent installations over 50 feet total, consider a dedicated long-run multicore snake to minimize signal degradation.
