4-Channel XLR Snake Cable — Professional Microphone Patch Cable for Live, Recording & Broadcast
Take full control of your audio setup with this 4-Channel XLR Snake Cable. Engineered for professional live sound, recording studios, and broadcast environments, this balanced audio cable lets you connect four XLR microphones, DI boxes, or other balanced audio sources through a single, organized cable run. Eliminate cable clutter, speed up stage setup, and deliver crystal-clear balanced audio every time.
Key Features
- 4-Channel Integrated Design: Connect four XLR microphones, DI boxes, or balanced audio sources simultaneously through one streamlined snake cable — ideal for live performances, studio sessions, and broadcast rigs.
- Space-Saving Splitter Layout: Splitter ends are positioned approximately 30 cm from the XLR connectors, reducing tripping hazards and making installation and teardown faster than ever.
- Professional Nickel-Plated XLR Connectors: Each of the four channels features nickel-plated male (output) and female (input) contacts for optimal signal transmission, superior corrosion resistance, and long-lasting reliability.
- Built to Last: Metal connectors paired with a reinforced strain-relief design protect against wear and tear from repeated setup and breakdown cycles.
- Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Conductors: Minimizes signal loss and interference for cleaner, more accurate audio reproduction across all four channels.
- Broad Compatibility: Works with any device featuring 3-pin XLR interfaces — including amplifiers, phantom power supplies, microphones, mixing consoles, and loudspeakers.
- Versatile Applications: Perfect for multi-core cable systems, stage boxes, live sound rigs, recording studios, and broadcast setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a 4-channel XLR snake cable and how does it work?
A: A 4-channel XLR snake cable bundles four individual balanced XLR signal paths into a single outer jacket, allowing you to run audio from four microphones, DI boxes, or other XLR sources to a mixing console or audio interface through one organized cable. This greatly reduces stage clutter and simplifies setup and teardown for live performances, recording sessions, and broadcast environments.
Q: Is this XLR snake cable compatible with condenser microphones that require phantom power?
A: Yes. Because this cable uses standard 3-pin XLR male-to-female connectors with balanced wiring and oxygen-free copper conductors, it fully supports phantom power (typically +48V) pass-through, making it compatible with condenser microphones when used with a phantom-power-capable console or power supply.
Q: What devices are compatible with this 4-channel XLR microphone patch cable?
A: This cable is compatible with any professional audio device that uses 3-pin XLR connectors, including microphones, DI boxes, mixing consoles, audio interfaces, power amplifiers, phantom power supplies, stage monitors, and loudspeakers.
Q: How long are the individual XLR tails on the snake cable?
A: The splitter ends (fan-out tails) are positioned approximately 30 cm from the XLR connectors. For the full overall cable length, please refer to the specific variant listing or contact us before purchasing.
Q: What is the benefit of oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors in an XLR cable?
A: Oxygen-free copper conductors offer lower electrical resistance and reduced signal degradation compared to standard copper, resulting in cleaner, more accurate audio transmission — especially important over longer cable runs in live and studio environments.
