XLR Snake 8 Channel 30 ft, OFC Audio Snake Balanced Multicore Cable with Metal XLR Connectors & Numbered Channel Labels for Studio Mixers, Patch Bays, Stage Monitors, Small Venues & Live Sound

Functionality:This is the first audio snake I've purchased, and it's been a game-changer for my home studio. Instead of eight XLR cable snaking every which way across my floor, I now have a single cable running directly to my audio interface.

Looks good and very well made

The snake arrived exactly as pictured in the listing.The cabling itself is GearIT branded, and is typical weight for an 8-channel snake. The connectors are GearIT branded Neutrik knock-offs. They're heavy and appear to be good quality.All channels pass audio as expected. I took apart a few random connectors on both ends of the snake, and found them to be well-soldered and assembled with proper care.I have some older ProCo snakes in this configuration, for which I paid significantly more money. They're heavier construction, have Kellum Hangers on both ends, and are about as super deluxe as it comes. They don't sound different, but they cost more because they're touring grade gear. They're going to take excruciating punishment.These snakes are not likely to take twenty years of touring grade punishment...at least not as is. I would like to have seen the ends of the cables shrink-wrapped where they enter the connector, so that they'd be well gripped by the interior clamp. As is, the clamp does not fully grip the cable. I could see evidence of this by gently pulling the cable in and out, and watching the female connector's contact-block move in and out. That means the cable isn't being fully protected from a hard yank.So, it's up to you whether to accept a somewhat value engineered snake. I will say that ProCo is not building snakes of this type like they once did, either. Their 8-channel, 20-foot snake is selling for about $60 more than this one, and it no longer features either the Keller Grips or the shrinkwrap at the connector.This one, priced at under a hundred bucks, is a pretty good bargain snake. My suggestion, if you go this route, is to use it with care. As you need to repair it (that's inevitable, by the way, if you actually use ANY bargain cable), add a layer or two of shrinkwrap to the ends when you do a repair. Eventually you'll bulletproof it.I can't rate it five stars. I can rate it four stars for the value proposition.

#3 cable was bad right out of the box. I understand that issues dan develop over time with cables but they should work when new. Poor QC.

It’s a fenomenal snake made it my drum snake

So far so good! Priced just right.

Good value. Nice quality. Worked out great for my install which had 6 channels in and 2 out.

Brilliant so far. I am babying the connectors but it has lasted well over the time I’ve used it.

Perfect and great quality. Wish it came in shorter lengths. But I’m not complaining.

It works so far. I was worried that I would have to repair them but so far they're okay. I've plugged/unplugged them a lot. They sit on a patch bay now.
