Hosa Little Bro Audio Snake

A sub snake is a smaller, portable snake designed to handle a specific group of inputs—like a drum kit or a keyboard rig—rather than the entire stage's input list. It allows you to consolidate those signals locally before sending them to your main mixer or stage box.

No, this specific model features eight XLR inputs on the stage box end, but the other end is a raw cable tail. This design is intended for permanent or semi-permanent installation into a patch bay or a main mixing console where you prefer to terminate the connections yourself.

It is built with durable materials that handle the rigors of mobile setups well, but it is primarily designed for small venues and controlled environments. While it will hold up to regular transport, it lacks the heavy-duty shielding and ruggedized jacketing found on professional touring-grade snakes.

Hosa uses balanced XLR connections, which are designed to reject electromagnetic interference and hum over long cable runs. At 50 feet, you should experience clean, reliable signal integrity provided your equipment is properly grounded.

Yes, because this snake uses standard balanced XLR wiring, it fully supports 48V phantom power. You can safely use it with condenser microphones or active direct boxes that require power from your mixer.
