The Seismic Audio SARLX-16x50 is built for bands, churches, and mobile DJs who need reliable stage-to-mixer signal routing without cable management headaches. This 50-foot, 16-channel XLR snake eliminates the tangle of individual mic cables running across your stage.

Each channel delivers balanced audio signal through XLR male to XLR female connections, maintaining signal integrity over the full 50-foot run. The foil shielding with drain wire cuts through RF interference and electrical noise that plague unbalanced connections in live environments.

Color-coded and numerically labeled channels speed up setup and tear-down - critical when you're loading in quickly or working in dim lighting. The 22 AWG copper conductors handle professional microphone and line signals without degradation. Built with touring-grade construction, this snake withstands repeated coiling and transport.

Perfect for medium to large venues where you need 50 feet between stage and mixing position. Churches with separated sound booths, outdoor festivals, and touring acts all benefit from this length. Mobile DJs can position their mixing station well back from the performance area while maintaining clean signal paths.

Simply connect your microphones and instruments to the stage end, run the snake to your mixer, and plug in. No additional cables needed - everything's included for immediate use.

Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and fast shipping. Professional-grade signal routing that fits working musicians' budgets.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many microphones can this snake handle?

This 16-channel snake accommodates up to 16 microphones or line-level sources simultaneously. Each channel provides a complete XLR male to XLR female connection, so you can connect 16 individual mics, instruments, or DI boxes at the stage end and route them all to your mixing console through a single cable run.

What venue sizes work best with a 50-foot snake?

The 50-foot length is ideal for medium to large venues where your mixing position is 40-45 feet from the stage (allowing slack for routing). This includes most churches with separate sound booths, outdoor festival stages, larger wedding venues, and club stages with rear-positioned mixing consoles. For smaller venues under 30 feet, consider the 25-foot version.

Do I need any additional cables or adapters?

No additional cables required - this is a complete snake solution. Simply connect your microphones or instruments to the stage end's XLR male connectors, run the snake to your mixer, and plug the XLR female ends into your console's mic inputs. The snake includes everything needed for immediate setup.

How does this compare to running individual XLR cables?

A 16-channel snake replaces 16 individual XLR cables, dramatically reducing setup time and eliminating stage clutter. The bundled design also provides better signal integrity through improved shielding and prevents the ground loops that can occur when multiple individual cables run parallel paths. Setup and tear-down time drops from 30+ minutes to under 10 minutes.

Can this snake handle both microphones and line-level signals?

Yes, each channel accepts standard microphone-level and line-level signals through the XLR connections. The 22 AWG copper conductors and balanced design handle dynamic mics, condenser mics (with phantom power), DI boxes, and line outputs from keyboards or other instruments. The snake maintains signal integrity regardless of source type.
