High-Capacity 200-Foot Professional Audio Snake for Live Sound Systems
The RapcoHorizon SMA2408FBQ-200 StageMASTER Snake is a 200-foot, 32-channel (24 mic/line sends and 8 TRS returns) multipair cable system designed for large-scale live sound, touring rigs, and installed audio systems. This rugged snake delivers organized signal routing across long distances, combining durability with excellent signal integrity, so your stage-to-console runs stay clean and dependable.
Large-Channel Count Routing Ready for Complex Setups
With 24 balanced XLR sends and 8 balanced TRS returns, this snake handles huge channel counts with ease. Whether you’re feeding a full live band rig, a theater production, or an installed AV system, it consolidates multiple cables into one manageable trunk. Each channel is individually shielded for reduced electromagnetic interference, giving you reliable, clean audio in busy electrical environments.
Heavy-Duty StageMASTER Stagebox Built for Pro Use
The StageMASTER stagebox is engineered with ruggedness in mind. A thick 16-gauge steel connector plate housed in an extruded aluminum chassis provides outstanding mechanical protection and shielding. The low-profile box fits tight floor areas and keeps your setup streamlined. Channel identifiers on the top panel let you label inputs for rapid setup and systematic breakdown.
Premium DuraLink Multipair Cable Ensures Signal Integrity
At the core of the SMA2408FBQ-200 lies the DuraLink multipair cable, equipped with 24 AWG twisted-pair conductors, each individually shielded with 100% foil and drain wires. This design offers high immunity to RFI/EMI interference and maintains low capacitance for crisp audio over long runs. The matte PVC outer jacket balances flexibility and durability—ideal for both stage use and permanent installation.
Color-Coded Fan-Out for Faster Setup and Clear Channel ID
The fan-out end extends approximately 3–4 feet and each channel is wrapped in color-coded shrink tubing for quick identification. These fan leads simplify hook-up to consoles or racks and significantly reduce setup time. Reinforced strain relief and protective tubing ensure longevity, even with frequent use under harsh conditions.
Balanced TRS Returns for Enhanced Audio Routing Options
The eight balanced TRS returns expand your signal routing capabilities—perfect for monitor mixes, powered speakers, or line-level sends. Each return channel is built to the same shielding and construction standards as the sends, so audio quality stays consistent in both directions. This flexibility supports complex stage and studio workflows.
Professional-Grade Construction for Long-Term Reliability
Every element of the SMA2408FBQ-200 is designed to provide consistent performance. Its solderless contact points minimize resistance and signal loss, while the rugged strain relief system and durable trunk cable ensure longevity. Whether used for touring, studio tracking, or permanent installations, this snake delivers reliable, high-quality audio night after night.
