Best For consolidating multiple Cables: Hosa insert Snake

Buy on Amazon

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate snake. The hosa insert snake is exactly that - it's a simple snake that hits all the right notes. There are some mixers (all Mackie mixers and some others) that will allow you to plug in to your insert until the first click and it would essentially turn the insert into a d/o. This is perfect for a home studio/light use, for gigging you'd probably want a more robust, repairable connector rather than a moulded one. It is great for consolidating multiple cables from the mixer to rack equipment. It will cutoff your signal to your mixer if you only use one side for a d/o.

This is an insert snake, and it does what it should do without introducing any noise. The insert will send and cutoff signal flow if you press the cable end all the way in to the insert path.

Why We Like This:

Noticeable noise and multiple colors help keep the send/returns straight
Very handy to have all that cordage contained in one snake
Works great, nice and neat,cheaper than buying individual inserts
Required cable for most boards (trs inserts) to patch multi-channel outboard processors

Best For home Studio: Seismic Audio 24 Channel Tr Snake

Buy on Amazon

Compared with other snake in this category, the seismic audio 24 channel tr snake has a convenient design. This snake is very heavy-duty and well made. It is designed to make the professional musician, as well as the musician low on cash, sound great for home studio. The microphone inputs on the Tascam will be preamped, and if you give them a line-level signal, they will likely boost this to too high of a level, and cause clipping. The quality of your sound can only be as good as the connections between the stage and the mixer and with this snake cable, each pair of heavy duty conductors is individually shielded, yielding crystal clear sound while rejecting extraneous noise.

The material is light to the point of flimsy, but it has held together well, so far. It is simple, clean and organizes your cables. This snake is both affordable and durable. The cable mounts securely and all plugs are well marked to make connecting easier.

Why We Like This:

100 shielded individually shielded pairs, 22 gauge conductors
Heavy duty strain relief on both ends
Works great and solves a messy, multiple xlr cable problem
Worked well for a bluegrass gospel show in a church picnic shelter
