The SA-DB8T15 delivers professional cable management for studios, venues, and mobile rigs that need to connect DB25-equipped gear to standard 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs. This 8-channel snake cable bridges the gap between high-density patch bays, multi-track recorders, and mixing consoles with individual TRS connections.

The cable features a DB25 connector on one end and eight individual 1/4" TRS connectors on the other, with an 18-inch fantail that provides enough separation to reach gear spaced up to 3 feet apart. This design eliminates the need for multiple individual cables while maintaining professional signal integrity across all eight channels.

At 15 feet total length, this snake cable provides flexibility for permanent installations and mobile setups alike. The balanced TRS connections support line-level signals for both recording and live sound applications, while the DB25 connector ensures secure, high-density connections to compatible professional audio equipment.

Recording studios use this configuration to connect outboard gear racks to mixing consoles, while live sound engineers deploy it for connecting stage boxes to monitor mixers or effects processors. The modular design also allows you to reconfigure existing snake systems by simply changing the endpoint connection type.

The cable connects directly between DB25 and TRS equipment with no additional adapters required. All necessary connectors are permanently attached and ready for immediate use.

Seismic Audio backs this cable with a one-year warranty and ships it ready to integrate into your professional audio setup right out of the box.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this cable connect?

This snake connects any DB25-equipped device to gear with individual 1/4" TRS inputs or outputs. Common applications include connecting studio patch bays to mixing consoles, multi-track recorders to outboard processors, or stage boxes to monitor mixers. The cable works with any professional audio equipment that uses these standard connector types.

How much space do I need between the TRS connectors?

The 18-inch fantail provides enough cable length for the eight TRS connectors to reach gear spaced up to 3 feet apart. This spacing works for most rack-mounted equipment, mixing console channel strips, and patch bay configurations. If your gear is spaced further apart, you may need individual extension cables.

Can I use this for both recording and live sound applications?

Yes, this cable supports balanced line-level signals suitable for both studio recording and live sound reinforcement. In recording, it's commonly used to connect patch bays to console inputs or outboard gear to multi-track recorders. For live sound, it connects stage boxes to monitor systems or effects processors to mixing consoles.

Will this work with my existing snake system?

This cable can serve as a modular endpoint for existing snake systems that terminate in DB25 connections. By changing just the endpoint cable, you can reconfigure your snake setup from XLR to TRS connections without rewiring the entire system. This makes it valuable for rental companies and venues that need flexible connectivity options.

What's the difference between this and individual TRS cables?

This single snake cable replaces eight separate TRS cables, reducing setup time and cable clutter significantly. The DB25 connection provides a secure, high-density connection that won't accidentally disconnect like individual cables might. You also get consistent signal quality across all eight channels since they're manufactured as a matched set.
