Members Deke08 Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 I still say that a 16x4 snake is fine, just use 15&16 for left and right. Many bands can be mixed in 12-14 channels. Thats what I had to do for my first few shows with the StudioLive. After spending the money for the board, there wasnt $300-$500 laying around for a new snake. I got a multipack of 8 adapters on the bay for less than $20. A five piece band with 4 vox only took 14 channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryan. Posted June 4, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 Well, Rusty over at PSW didn't reply to my e-mail, so it looks like I'm stuck paying full price for the reel snake. C'est la vie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Unalaska Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 Those damn adaptors are expensive though, I need another 4-6 for just having around. Another really cool trick is to have XLR Y cables around of different sexes. A FF to M makes a good F to F adaptor and the M end doesn't get used. Good for a 1 off but not a permenant thing.

Members Axisplayer Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 Rusty is trying to sell it all today and said if folks don't pay today, he is going down the line for buyers, so you still might get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a couple hanging around the shop that have 2 ea male & female. They can work as either y cables or gender changers in any direction. -Dan.

I really hate the solid turnaround adapters and haven't gotten 'round to making some short cable ones yet but had a bunch of "Y" cords of both types with me .
