The SARLX-16x100 delivers professional-grade multi-channel audio routing for live sound engineers, venue technicians, and bands who need reliable signal transmission over long distances. This 100-foot XLR snake cable eliminates the need to run 16 separate microphone cables from stage to front-of-house, streamlining your setup and reducing cable clutter.

Built with 22 AWG copper conductors and foil shielding with drain wire, this snake cable maintains clean signal integrity across all 16 channels while rejecting electromagnetic interference and ground loop hum. Each channel features balanced XLR male-to-female connectors that lock securely and handle the demands of frequent setup and teardown.

The color-coded and numerically labeled channels make identification instant, even in dark venues or complex routing scenarios. Each channel can handle microphone or line-level signals from mixers, stage racks, power amplifiers, and recording interfaces without signal degradation.

Perfect for churches with distributed sound systems, theaters running shows with large casts, touring bands with extensive input requirements, and permanent installations in auditoriums or conference centers. The 100-foot length covers most stage-to-console runs while maintaining professional signal quality throughout.

Simply connect your microphones and instruments to the stage end, run the snake to your mixing position, and plug into your console's XLR inputs. No additional cables or adapters required.

Seismic Audio backs this professional snake cable with a one-year manufacturer warranty and ships ready to handle years of reliable live sound applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the maximum venue size this 100-foot snake cable can handle?

This 100-foot length works well for most mid-size to large venues, including churches seating 400-600 people, theater stages with 40-50 foot depths, and outdoor events where the mixing console sits 80-90 feet from the stage. The length provides enough slack for proper cable management without excess coiling that could cause signal issues.

Can I use this snake cable for both microphones and line-level instruments?

Yes, each XLR channel handles both microphone-level and line-level signals without any switching required. Connect dynamic microphones, condenser mics, DI boxes, keyboard outputs, and other balanced line-level sources directly to the male XLR connectors. The balanced design maintains signal integrity for both signal types.

How do the color-coded channels help during live sound setup?

Each of the 16 channels features a distinct color combined with clear numeric labeling, making channel identification instant even in low-light conditions. This eliminates guesswork when tracing signals, speeds up troubleshooting during soundcheck, and prevents accidentally unplugging the wrong channel during live performances.

What happens if I need more than 16 channels for my setup?

For larger input requirements, you can daisy-chain multiple snake cables or upgrade to a 24 or 32-channel snake system. Many sound engineers run one 16-channel snake for vocals and acoustic instruments, then add a second snake for drums, keyboards, and monitor feeds when the application demands it.

Does this snake cable work with digital mixing consoles?

Yes, this analog XLR snake cable connects directly to any mixing console with XLR microphone inputs, whether analog or digital. Digital consoles like Allen & Heath, Behringer X32, and Yamaha mixers accept these XLR connections normally. For purely digital systems using Cat5 or fiber connections, you'd need a different type of snake cable.
