This 100' XLR Patch Snake – 16 Send / 4 Return is an audio multicable used to run many signals between the stage and a mixer or audio rack over a long distance. It has sixteen XLR sends, which are typically used for microphones or instruments going from the stage to the console, and four XLR returns, which are commonly used for monitor mixes, playback, or other signals going back to the stage. The 100' length works well for theaters, larger venues, outdoor stages, or any setup where the mix position is far from the performers. By combining many lines into one jacket, this type of snake reduces cable clutter, speeds up setup, and makes troubleshooting easier compared to running individual XLR cables.
