SAXT-16x15M - 16 Channel 15' TRS to XLR Male
The SAXT-16x15M snake cable connects recording interfaces, mixers, and stage boxes to outboard gear, perfect for studios, live venues, and mobile recording setups. This 16-channel snake eliminates the need to run individual cables, reducing setup time and stage clutter.
Each channel features balanced TRS to XLR Male connections with color-coded identification for quick hookups in low-light environments. The 15-foot length provides flexibility for rack-to-stage connections without excess cable management issues.
Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding, this snake delivers clean signal transfer while rejecting RF interference. The balanced design maintains signal integrity across all 16 channels, essential for multi-track recording and complex live sound routing.
Use this snake to connect your audio interface outputs to a stage box for live recording, route mixer sends to outboard processors, or link your recording setup to monitor speakers during tracking sessions. The 15-foot length works well in control rooms, smaller venues, and home studios where longer runs aren't necessary.
Simply connect the TRS ends to your mixer, interface, or processor outputs, and plug the XLR ends into your destination gear. No additional cables or adapters required - the snake includes all necessary connectors.
Seismic Audio backs this snake with a one-year warranty and ships it ready to use out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment does this snake connect?
This snake connects mixing consoles, audio interfaces, or processors with TRS outputs to gear with XLR inputs like stage boxes, powered speakers, or outboard effects. It's commonly used to route mixer aux sends to monitor processors or connect interface outputs to studio monitors.
Is 15 feet long enough for most studio and live applications?
The 15-foot length works well for control room setups, smaller live venues, and home studios where equipment racks are positioned close to the mixing position. For larger stages or studios with remote equipment rooms, consider longer snake options for more routing flexibility.
Do the color-coded connections make a difference during setup?
Yes, the color coding significantly speeds up connection identification, especially in dimly lit venues or when working under time pressure. Each channel has a unique color that matches on both the TRS and XLR ends, eliminating guesswork during setup and troubleshooting.
Can I use this snake for recording live performances?
Absolutely - this snake excels at connecting your audio interface outputs to a stage box for monitor feeds while recording, or routing mixer outputs back to your recording system. The balanced design and OFC conductors maintain signal quality for professional recording applications.
How does the shielding protect against interference?
The comprehensive shielding around each conductor pair blocks RF interference from wireless systems, cell phones, and other electronic devices commonly found in live venues. This shielding, combined with the balanced design, ensures clean signal transfer across all 16 channels.
