AVID 9940-29892-00 DB25-TS +4 dBu/-10 dBV Padded DigiSnake - Output Snake (12FT)

Balanced to Unbalanced Signal Interface for Pro Tools Systems
The Avid DB25-TS +4dBu/-10dBV Padded DigiSnake 12’ cable is built to handle level-matching between professional gear and consumer-level components. It provides an easy way to connect the +4dBu balanced outputs from a Pro Tools HD I/O—such as the Avid 192 I/O—into devices that expect -10dBV unbalanced inputs. This is ideal for routing signals to stereo equipment, home audio processors, or other non-professional audio systems without overdriving the inputs.

Converts +4dBu Balanced Outputs to -10dBV Inputs
Designed specifically to address signal mismatches in hybrid studio environments, this DigiSnake includes internal padding that reduces the output level from +4dBu to a -10dBV standard. This ensures compatibility with semi-pro gear that could otherwise distort from pro-level signals. It’s a smart solution for studios running Avid HD interfaces who need clean signal flow to external gear that lacks professional input tolerance.

Perfect for Avid HD I/O and 192 I/O Integration
This 12-foot snake connects seamlessly with Avid’s DB25-equipped HD systems. Whether you're using a 192 I/O or other HD-series interfaces, the DB25 connector routes audio through eight 1/4" TS (tip-sleeve) unbalanced plugs. These connectors allow flexible distribution to a wide variety of devices, including tape decks, CD burners, and semi-pro outboard gear used in smaller setups.

Color Coded for Organized Workflow
Studio wiring can get messy fast, which is why this cable is outfitted with orange jackets and clear labeling on both ends. This makes it easy to identify and trace connections in tight racks or darkened control rooms. Custom color coding also aligns with Pro Tools system conventions, helping reduce confusion during installation or troubleshooting.

Robust Construction for Long-Term Use
Durability matters in studio cabling, especially for signal chains that are rarely touched once installed. This DigiSnake uses reliable 110-ohm digital-grade cable and quality molded connectors that withstand repeated use and resist signal degradation. Its 12-foot length gives you flexibility without creating clutter or slack in rackmount systems.

Ideal for Hybrid Studios with Mixed Equipment
For engineers and producers working with both professional-grade and consumer-level gear, this padded DigiSnake is a must-have tool. It keeps levels consistent, reduces the risk of overloading unbalanced inputs, and preserves the integrity of your mix through clean signal handling.
