The SASRT-24x5 snake cable handles multi-channel audio routing for live sound engineers, recording studios, and mobile rigs requiring organized signal management. This 5-foot TRS snake connects mixing consoles to patch bays, effects processors, or monitor systems with professional reliability.

Built with 24 balanced 1/4" TRS connections on each end, this snake eliminates the need for individual cables cluttering your setup. The balanced TRS design provides noise rejection for clean signal transmission, while color coding and numerical labeling ensure fast channel identification during setup or troubleshooting.

Each conductor uses 22-gauge high-purity copper wiring with gold-tipped connectors for consistent signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The serviceable ends allow for field repairs, extending cable life in demanding environments. The 5-foot length makes it ideal for rack-to-rack connections or short-distance patching in control rooms and stage setups.

This snake works well for connecting outboard effects to mixing consoles, linking patch bays in recording studios, or managing monitor feeds in live sound applications. The compact length suits permanent installations where space is tight, including broadcast facilities and home studios requiring organized multi-channel routing.

Connect TRS outputs from your mixing console or audio interface to the corresponding inputs on your target device. The cable includes all necessary connections in one organized bundle, eliminating the need for multiple individual cables.

Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and ships ready for immediate use in professional audio applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between TRS and TS snake cables?

TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connectors carry balanced audio signals, providing better noise rejection than TS (tip-sleeve) unbalanced connections. This makes TRS snakes like the SASRT-24x5 ideal for professional applications where signal integrity matters, especially when connecting mixing consoles to effects processors or patch bays.

Can I use this snake cable for connecting instruments directly?

While the TRS connectors are compatible with instrument outputs, this snake is designed primarily for line-level connections between professional audio equipment. For instrument inputs, you'd typically want individual instrument cables or a dedicated instrument snake with the appropriate impedance matching.

What does "serviceable ends" mean and why does it matter?

Serviceable ends allow you to disassemble and repair the connectors if they become damaged, rather than replacing the entire cable. This feature extends the cable's lifespan in touring or heavy-use environments where connectors may take abuse from repeated plugging and unplugging.

How do I identify which channel is which during setup?

Each connector is both color-coded and numerically labeled, making channel identification quick and reliable even in low-light conditions. The numerical labels correspond between both ends, so channel 1 on one end connects to channel 1 on the other end.

Is 5 feet long enough for most studio applications?

The 5-foot length works well for rack-to-rack connections, patch bay linking, and control room setups where equipment is positioned close together. For longer runs between the control room and live room, or stage-to-mixer connections, you'd need a longer snake cable.
