Features
Overview: The Rapco Horizon Concert-series NSPL16X4-100FF is a 100-foot, 20-channel (16 sends / 4 returns) audio snake for running multiple microphone and instrument cables from a mixing console to a stage or studio tracking room. The snake features 20 high-quality XLR connectors and a sturdy stage box with silk-screened channel indicators (1 through 16, A through D).
Construction: The NSPL16X4-100FF has the following components:
- Stage Box: The 18-gauge steel stage box has 16 female and 4 male Neutrik XLR connectors on the top panel, all numbered/lettered with the same corresponding characters on the opposite ends of each cable. The box features 3" x 11-1/8" sides and 2-1/2" x 7" ends. The cables exit the back end through a heavy-duty rubber strain relief/grip. The stage box has four 3/4" diameter, screw-on rubber feet.
- Main Cable: The snake features a 100-foot length of cable with twenty conductor pairs, each jacketed in 100% foil shield. The main cable has a thick rubber protective jacket. On the fan end, each individual cable is approximately 35" long. The fan end of the cable includes a metal-mesh cable-bale for strain relief.
- XLR Connectors: Each individual channel features a metal REAN XLR connector with rubber grip/strain relief. Just before each connector is a white plastic sleeve, silk-screened with the channel number and covered by a clear sleeve to keep the number from rubbing off.
