The SACB-24x8x25 is a 24-channel snake cable designed for live sound engineers, touring bands, and permanent installations that need reliable multi-channel audio transport. This professional snake handles the critical connection between stage and front-of-house, delivering clean signal paths for medium to large live sound setups.

Built with circuit board technology in the stage box, this snake ensures solid connections that won't fail during critical performances. The 24 XLR male sends and 8 XLR female returns provide comprehensive I/O for most live sound applications, while the 25-foot length gives you the reach needed for typical venue layouts.

Each of the 24 channels features individually shielded pairs with 25-gauge heavy duty conductors, eliminating crosstalk and noise interference that can compromise your mix. The heavy duty steel stage box measures 10.75" x 10.25" x 2.75" and includes numerical labeling for quick channel identification. The fantail end is both color-coded and numerically labeled for fast setup and teardown.

This snake works well for venues up to 500 people, outdoor festivals, church sound systems, and mobile DJ rigs that need multiple mic inputs with dedicated monitor sends. The low-profile design makes it ideal for permanent installations where space is limited.

High-quality XLR connectors at both ends connect directly to professional mixing consoles and power amplifiers without adapters. The complete snake cable weighs 13.4 pounds and comes ready to use out of the box.

Seismic Audio backs this snake cable with a one-year warranty and ships it ready for immediate deployment in your live sound rig.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many instruments and mics can this snake handle?

The SACB-24x8x25 provides 24 input channels for microphones, instruments, and line sources, plus 8 return channels for monitor feeds or effects sends. This configuration works well for full bands with drums, multiple vocals, guitars, bass, and keyboards. The 8 returns give you flexibility for stage monitors, in-ear systems, or sending signals back to recording equipment.

What size venues work best with a 25-foot snake cable?

This 25-foot length is ideal for small to medium venues where the stage and mixing position are relatively close, typically venues accommodating 200-500 people. Examples include club stages, church sanctuaries, school auditoriums, and outdoor festival stages where the FOH position is set up within 25 feet of the stage. For larger venues or festivals with distant FOH positions, you'd need a longer snake.

Does this snake require any additional cables or adapters?

No additional cables or adapters are needed - the snake comes with professional XLR connectors on both ends that connect directly to standard mixing consoles and stage equipment. The 24 male XLRs on the fantail connect to your microphones and instruments, while the 8 female XLRs handle monitor sends or returns. All connections are standard XLR format used throughout professional audio.

What makes the circuit board technology better than standard snakes?

Circuit board technology creates more reliable connections inside the stage box compared to traditional hand-wired snakes. The circuit board provides consistent signal paths that won't loosen over time, reducing the risk of intermittent connections or signal dropouts during performances. This technology also allows for a lower profile stage box that takes up less space on crowded stages.

How does this 24x8 configuration compare to simpler snake options?

A 24x8 snake provides significantly more flexibility than basic 8 or 16-channel snakes, allowing you to run a full band with multiple vocals, drums, guitars, bass, and keyboards while still having dedicated monitor sends. Compared to 32-channel snakes, the 24x8 offers the right balance for most medium-sized live sound applications without the bulk and expense of larger systems you might not fully utilize.
