Audio snake cable, also known as audio multicore cable or multicore microphone cable, is a cable that contains anywhere from 4 to 64 individual audio cables inside a common outer jacket. They are used when multiple audio signals need to be conveyed between common locations. Cable assemblies are generally terminated with XLR connectors for end application. Benefits of Audio Snake Cable Audio snake cable provides the best quality in sound for a variety of applications. With the individual audio cables all contained underneath one jacket, it becomes much more efficient from a logistics and space standpoint to have the cables contained rather than multiple being run. The individual sub-cables are jacketed to insulate each interior cable from the others to reduce the possibility of crosstalk. Audio snake cable is portable and can be easily terminated, but also a good choice for fixed applications.
