This 150-foot snake handles the critical connection between your mixing console and stage, eliminating the need to run individual cables across long distances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 16-channel snake delivers clean signal transmission through 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors with individual shielding on every pair for superior RF rejection. The steel stage box provides 16 XLR sends and 8 returns that accommodate both XLR and 1\/4\" TRS connections, giving you options for different monitor systems and outboard gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 150 feet, this snake works for outdoor festivals, large churches, conference centers, and venues where the mixing position sits well back from the stage. The heavy-duty steel stage box withstands road use, while both the fantail and box feature clear numerical labeling plus color coding for quick setup in low-light conditions. Each connection point includes strain relief to prevent cable damage during repeated use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect your mixing console's direct outputs to the fantail XLR connectors, then use the stage box to distribute signals to amplifiers, powered speakers, or monitor systems. The dual return options let you run both XLR and TRS monitor feeds without adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeismic Audio backs this snake with a one-year warranty and ships it ready to handle professional live sound applications where signal integrity and setup speed determine show success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSALS-16x8x150\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150 Feet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSend Channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 XLR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReturn Channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 (XLR + TRS paralleled at box)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFantail Returns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 XLR, 4 TRS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConductors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 gauge oxygen-free copper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShielding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% individually shielded pairs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStage Box Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeavy duty steel with handle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLabeling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumerical and color coded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrain Relief\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeavy duty at both ends\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e71.8 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne Year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge venues, outdoor events, festival production\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat venue sizes work best with a 150-foot snake cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis length handles large churches, outdoor festivals, conference centers, and venues where your mixing position sits 100+ feet from the stage.
