SARLX-8x100 - 8 Channel XLR Colored Snake Cable 100'
The SARLX-8x100 delivers professional 8-channel XLR connectivity for live sound engineers, touring bands, and permanent installations requiring reliable signal routing over long distances. This 100-foot snake cable connects your stage sources directly to your mixing console with minimal signal loss.
Built with 22-gauge copper wire and comprehensive shielding, this snake maintains signal integrity across all eight balanced channels. Each channel features both male and female XLR connectors, providing the flexibility to route microphones, DI boxes, and line-level sources from stage to FOH position without degradation.
The color-coded and numerically labeled design streamlines setup and troubleshooting during load-in. Eight distinct cable colors paired with clear channel numbering eliminate guesswork when connecting multiple sources. The balanced XLR connections reject interference and ground loop hum that can plague unbalanced systems in electrically noisy environments.
Perfect for medium to large venues, outdoor festivals, and houses of worship where the mixing position sits 75-100 feet from the stage. Churches running contemporary services, bands playing outdoor events, and rental companies serving multiple venue types rely on this length for consistent coverage. The rugged construction handles repeated coiling and transport without connector failure.
Standard 3-pin XLR connections work with any professional mixing console, powered mixer, or stage box. No adapters needed - plug directly into your existing gear.
Seismic Audio backs this snake cable with a one-year warranty and ships ready to use out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What venues work best with a 100-foot snake cable?
This length handles venues where your mixing position sits 75-100 feet from the stage - think medium churches, outdoor pavilions, large banquet halls, and festival stages. It's ideal for situations where you need to position the mixing console in the middle or back of the audience area for proper sound perspective.
Can I connect this directly to my powered mixer?
Yes, the standard 3-pin XLR connectors plug directly into any mixing console, powered mixer, or digital mixer with XLR inputs. No adapters or special cables required. Just run the snake from stage to mixer and connect your microphones and DI boxes to the female ends at the stage.
How does the color coding system work for setup?
Each of the eight channels has a different colored cable jacket plus numerical labels for quick identification. This dual system lets you match channels by color during initial setup, then use the numbers for troubleshooting or channel changes. Eliminates the confusion of tracing identical black cables.
Will this work with both microphones and instruments?
Absolutely. The balanced XLR connections handle microphones, DI boxes for guitars and keyboards, and line-level sources from drum machines or backing tracks. The shielded construction and balanced signal path reject interference that can affect long cable runs in electrically noisy venues.
How does 22-gauge wire compare to thicker alternatives?
The 22-gauge copper wire strikes the right balance between signal quality and flexibility for most applications. It's thick enough to maintain signal integrity over 100 feet while remaining flexible for easy coiling and transport. Professional touring companies regularly use 22-gauge for runs under 150 feet.
