The SAXT-8x20F snake cable streamlines connections between your mixing console and stage gear, delivering eight balanced channels in one manageable run. This 20-foot snake handles the signal routing between TRS outputs on your mixer and XLR inputs on microphones, DI boxes, and other balanced audio sources.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, this snake maintains signal integrity across all eight channels while rejecting RF interference that can plague live sound setups. The shielded, balanced design ensures clean audio transmission whether you're running signals from your board to stage boxes or connecting outboard gear in the studio.

Each channel features color-coded identification for quick hookups during setup and teardown. The TRS male connectors fit standard 1/4" balanced outputs on most mixing consoles, while the XLR female ends accept standard mic cables and balanced line outputs. Twenty feet of length gives you flexibility for small to mid-sized stages and studio control rooms.

This snake works well for band rehearsals, small venue gigs, house of worship sound systems, and studio recording setups where you need multiple balanced connections without running separate cables. The 20-foot length suits stages up to about 150-person capacity venues and recording studios with moderate throw distances.

Connect TRS ends to your mixer's channel outputs and run XLR cables from your sources to the female ends. The snake includes all eight channels in one cable run, eliminating cable clutter behind your console. Seismic Audio backs this snake with a one-year warranty and ships ready to use out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venues work best with this 20-foot snake?

This snake length works well for small to medium venues seating up to 150 people, rehearsal studios, and house of worship installations where your mixing position is relatively close to the stage. For larger venues or outdoor events, you'll likely need a longer snake or extension cables.

Can I use this snake with any mixing console?

Yes, as long as your mixer has 1/4" TRS balanced outputs. Most professional and semi-professional mixing consoles include TRS outputs for individual channels or groups. The XLR female ends accept standard mic cables, so you can connect microphones, DI boxes, or any balanced XLR source.

How does this compare to running individual XLR cables?

This snake eliminates the need for eight separate cable runs between your console and stage sources. Instead of managing multiple individual cables, you get organized signal routing with color-coded channels that reduce setup time and cable clutter behind your mixing position.

Will this work for both live sound and studio recording?

Absolutely. The balanced, shielded design works equally well for live sound applications and studio recording. In live settings, connect stage microphones and DI boxes to the XLR ends. In studios, use it to route console outputs to outboard processors or recording interfaces with XLR inputs.

What cables do I need to complete my connections?

You'll need standard XLR male-to-male cables to connect your audio sources (mics, DI boxes, instruments) to the snake's XLR female ends. The TRS ends plug directly into your mixer's balanced outputs. Most setups require 8 additional XLR cables, which are sold separately.
