The SATSS-24x1515 splitter snake cable is designed for live sound engineers and venue operators who need to split 24 channels from the stage to two separate mixing positions. This hardwired Y-splitter configuration delivers clean signal routing for monitor mixing, recording splits, or broadcast feeds without signal degradation.

This send-only snake splits each of the 24 input channels to duplicate outputs on two separate 15-foot trunks. The heavy-duty steel stage box handles all connections at the stage end, while two color-coded fantails provide organized access for your mixing consoles or recording interfaces.

Each of the 24 channels features individual shielding around 22-gauge copper conductors, preventing crosstalk and maintaining signal integrity across long cable runs. The stage box uses female XLR panel jacks with coiled spring mechanisms, while both fantails terminate in male XLR connectors. At 23 pounds total, this snake provides professional-grade construction without excessive bulk.

This configuration works well for venues running both front-of-house and monitor mixing positions, recording studios capturing live performances, or broadcast setups requiring isolated feeds. The dual 15-foot trunks provide enough reach for most stage configurations while keeping cable management organized.

All connections are hardwired for reliability, and strain reliefs protect against connector failure at high-stress points. Each fantail includes a mesh hanger for organized storage when not in use.

Seismic Audio backs this splitter snake with a one-year warranty and ships ready to use for your next show or installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this splitter snake and a regular snake cable?

This is a send-only splitter snake that takes 24 input channels and duplicates each signal to two separate outputs. Unlike a standard snake that just extends your connections, this creates two identical signal paths from one source. You plug your microphones and instruments into the stage box, then connect both fantails to separate mixing consoles, recording interfaces, or monitor boards.

How do I set up this splitter snake with two mixing consoles?

Connect your microphones and instruments to the female XLR inputs on the steel stage box. Then run each of the two 15-foot fantails to your mixing positions - one fantail goes to your front-of-house console, the other to your monitor console or recording interface. Each fantail carries all 24 channels, so both mixing positions receive identical signals from the stage.

What size venues work best with 15-foot trunks?

The dual 15-foot trunks work well for small to medium venues where your mixing positions are within 15 feet of the stage. This includes club stages, church sanctuaries, school auditoriums, and corporate event spaces. For larger venues requiring longer cable runs, you'd need a different trunk length configuration.

Can I use this snake for recording while mixing live sound?

Yes, this splitter configuration is ideal for simultaneous live mixing and recording. Connect one fantail to your live sound console and the other to your recording interface or multitrack recorder. Both receive the same clean signals from the stage without any isolation transformers or additional splitting required.

Do the individual channel shields really make a difference in sound quality?

The individual shielding on each channel prevents crosstalk between adjacent channels and reduces electromagnetic interference from lighting systems and wireless devices. This becomes especially important in complex stage setups with multiple wireless systems, LED lighting, and high-gain microphone channels where noise rejection directly impacts your mix quality.
