SATSS-16x1515 - 16 Channel Send XLR Splitter Snake Cable - two 15 foot trunks
The SATSS-16x1515 splitter snake delivers professional-grade signal distribution for bands, venues, and sound engineers who need reliable multi-channel routing from stage to front-of-house. This hardwired Y-splitter configuration eliminates the need for additional equipment while maintaining signal integrity across all 16 channels.
Built with individually shielded pairs and 22-gauge heavy-duty conductors, this snake cable prevents signal interference and maintains clean audio transmission across both 15-foot trunks. The aluminum foil shield with trace wire construction ensures professional-grade noise rejection, essential for live sound applications where signal quality directly impacts performance.
The heavy-duty steel stage box features clearly labeled female XLR inputs, while both fantails terminate in male XLR connectors with color-coded groupings for quick setup. Each connection point includes strain relief protection, and the stage box comes equipped with a carrying handle for easy transport. At 16 pounds total weight, this snake provides the durability needed for regular mobile use without excessive bulk.
Perfect for splitting signals to front-of-house and monitor consoles, recording setups, or broadcast feeds in venues accommodating 200-500 people. The dual 15-foot trunk configuration works well for medium-sized stages where monitor and FOH positions require separate signal feeds from the same source.
Connect microphones and instruments to the stage box, then run the two fantails to your mixing positions. All XLR connectors and stage box hardware come ready to use out of the box.
Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty with fast shipping. Professional-grade construction at a price point that makes sense for working musicians and sound technicians.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a splitter snake and a regular snake cable?
A splitter snake like the SATSS-16x1515 takes one set of input signals and splits them to two destinations, while a regular snake simply carries signals from point A to point B. This model has one stage box with female XLR inputs and two separate 15-foot trunks with male XLR outputs, allowing you to send the same 16 channels to both your front-of-house console and monitor mixer simultaneously.
What size venues work best with 15-foot trunks?
The dual 15-foot configuration works well for small to medium venues seating 200-500 people, where your stage box can sit center-stage and reach both FOH and monitor positions. For larger venues or permanent installations where longer runs are needed, consider our 25-foot or 50-foot trunk options instead.
Do I need any additional cables or adapters to use this snake?
No additional cables are required - this is a complete hardwired system. Simply plug your microphones and instruments into the female XLR inputs on the stage box, then connect the male XLR outputs from each fantail directly to your mixing console inputs. The snake comes with all connectors permanently attached and ready to use.
Can I use this snake for recording studio applications?
Yes, this splitter snake works well for recording setups where you need to send the same signal sources to multiple destinations, such as splitting between your main recording interface and a separate monitor mix or backup recorder. The individually shielded construction maintains studio-quality signal integrity across all channels.
How does the strain relief protect my investment?
Each XLR connector features heavy-duty strain relief that prevents cable damage at the most vulnerable connection points. Combined with the steel stage box construction and quality XLR connectors, this protection extends cable life significantly compared to budget alternatives, especially important for mobile applications where cables get regular handling and transport stress.
