Questions & Answers

Will this work if you use the 1/4 jack to send an amplified signal to your speakers? Is it capable of handling the higher voltage on a consistent basis?

Not in the same way every time. It would be harmful to both the snake and the amplifier. You'd also be severely restricting your power. It's only a line/mic level cable with a 22-foot length. 24awg. You'll need 14 of them. For the speaker, use a wire gauge of ten awg.

To connect to guitar TS cables, I'd like to use two balanced TRS sends as returns. To convert guitar TS cables, what adapters will I need? Thanks. ?

The majority of people, I believe, use direct boxes to insert guitars in this manner.

Is it possible to connect my mixer's output to multiple speakers using this?

You don't provide enough details to answer the question. What are the different types of inputs and outputs on the speakers and mixer? What is the total number of people speaking? Typically, the mixer will have a left and right output, each of which can handle one speaker. The snake is usually used to carry up to 6 mic/XLR inputs or 2 1/4" inputs to the mixer in one low profile cable, and it will not split the signal to more outputs.

Which one should I get if I need ten inputs for my drum mics?

There are a lot of snakes with 12 inputs out there.

So-and-so came up with a fantastic product concept
4/5

as a result of the execution details This miniature snake is a fantastic idea, with its so-called so-called so-called so-called so-called so-called so- as a result of execution br>br>There are many uses for a 50 foot 6 2 snake, and the product package concept, as well as the price, is very appealing. br>br>Uses include drum/instrument sub on large stages, and small snake for small events. The'stage box' is packaged in a cleverly compact manner, with clear and simple labeling and organization. In general, the box strain relief and fanout ends are well-done and well-organized. The "not-" br>br> The following are examples of "hot" parts:
- The XLR inputs on the stage box are not locking. This is significant in terms of event reliability. I'm going to replace them with locking Neutrik chassis connectors, which will fit in the space. br> The fanout and stage box connectors are "low-cost" (clone) types that aren't of the highest quality, but they do the job. I'm not sure how durable they'll be in the long run. br> - The stage box is made of thin metal, and the fit and finish isn't great, but it gets the job done. br> - I'm not a big fan of TRS 1/4" connections because they're so easy for beginners to abuse, like running improper signals through them. Unbalanced signals with a high impedence, or, even worse, power output / speaker levels. These connectors "work" as long as everyone knows to use only balanced mic or line signals, but they don't lock. To encourage proper use, I'd like male XLR inputs on the stage box. Because of the cutout pattern, retrofitting that would be easier with the eight input model than with this one. br>br>So, in general, I recommend this product, but keep in mind the drawbacks. In exchange for an additional $50 in the end-of-the-year bonus, Without the compromises mentioned above, this could have been an all-in-one solution. a fantastic product.

This is a fantastic tool
5/5

This small snake was used to extend the instruments to our main sound board, and it worked perfectly. We should have bought the longer one to get more reach, but that had no bearing on the unit's functionality. br>br>Sturdy connectors and a sturdy design. The labeling is easy to read and understand. Definative Recommendation br>br>.

I hated running mic and instrument wires across the stage where musicians could trip over them, so this was perfect for a duo/trio act in small venues
5/5

This enables me to position the connector box in front of the microphones and route the cable around the stage. It's ideal for a small band performing in a small venue.

Excellent value for money
5/5

I bought this snake for my band to help with set up time because it was the most affordable and versatile from my research. These can get pretty pricey pretty quickly, so this will work perfectly for smaller type of gigs.

Great stage snake with a small size
5/5

This is what I use with my portable audio system. This is a well-made, sturdy stage snake, and the size is ideal for my requirements. The Conex box and connectors are both small and durable. This is what I use to give audio/video presentations to small groups; it has all of the features I need, and the 20-foot length is perfect for my needs.

I am the sound engineer for a small rock band
5/5

I manage the sound for a small rock band that is just getting started. Costs must be kept to a bare minimum, as you might expect. This Hosa snake was exactly what I needed to manage all of the connections we need, and it's been a real workhorse so far. I'm a fan of Hosa cables because of the high quality they provide at a reasonable price.

It's a great little snake at a good price, and it does exactly what it says on the tin
5/5

There's not much else to say about it. br>br>In my home studio, I use it as a drum snake. A single cable connects all six of my drum mics to the board (duh, that's why there's a snake!). The 1/4 TRS lines have been used as both additional MIC feeds and returns for headphones and monitors. The amplified headphone return signal does not bleed over onto any of the 6 XLR MIC channels, despite the fact that my headphone amp is located in the same area as my board (i. e. the far end of the snake). br>br>On the long-term, I can't say much. The unit's long-term dependability. I've had it in my home studio for three months and have probably plugged and unplugged each connection about 25 times. There haven't been any issues thus far. In the coming weeks, I'll start performing with it in this city. When I perform, I'm fairly gentle with my gear, so I don't anticipate any issues. If I find any issues in the future, I'll update the review.
