With this snake cable, each pair of heavy duty conductors is individually shielded, yielding crystal clear sound while rejecting extraneous noise. XLR connectors make this snake cable fit right in with professional power amps and mixing consoles without the need for converters or couplers. These snakes are your basic hardwired Y splitters. They each have a stage box and two hardwired short trunks with fantails. These splitter snake cables do not have splitter transformers, ground-lift switches, or multi-pin disconnects. These splitter cables are straight send snakes and do not have any returns. The cable ends on the fantails are all male XLR, while the stage box consists of all female XLR and 1/4" combo jacks. You can plug an XLR or a 1/4" in to the box end of the snake. Each stage box is well labeled and constructed from heavy duty steel. The Stage Box is rack mountable for convenience and ease of transport. Both fantails are well labeled and grouped by color.
