Awesome stage snake! Heavy duty and made for gigs and moving around (though it can be for one spot only). Purchased at Audiopile, located near Pullman, WA, one of the few places that sells EMI.
8 sends and 4 returns. Returns are XLR or 1/4 inch.
We love them, but they are too big for our use, so we downgraded to smaller snakes.
I have two of these 20-footers. $150 for one or $275 for both.
I also have a 30-footer (8x4) for $175.
This does not have Neutrik connectors.
From the Audiopile site:
The EWI PSPX-8x4 series snake is an 8 channel XLR send snake with 4 XLR returns. The returns have parallel MXLR and 1/4" TRS panel jacks on the stagebox. Some might class this as a sub-snake or a drop-snake because of the 8 x 4 channel construction since these are commonly used as a cross stage run snake tied into the main snake to avoid a mess of individual mic cables strung out across the stage.
The stagebox is very heavy duty and well labeled. The fantail is also heavy duty, color coded to groups and very well labeled. The main trunk is constructed with EWI SMC cable which is 12 individual shielded pairs, 22 ga., high copper purity conductors with double aluminum foil shield and trace wire, which is heavy duty, and very flexible.
Strain relief at the stage box and fantail is provided with mesh grip style hanger at the fantail, and rubber compression aluminum cable clamp at the stagebox.
