I bought this snake and strings and before I knew it they were being delivered. Was very pleased with the service and especially the quality of the merchandise. Strings are strings, but the snake was more than excellent. Very very satisfied with quality and service.??????

Life Saver!

Product Review
With COVID 19 restrictions on Churches we had to rent a place to conduct Church. Ours was too small to hold service and keep social distance. These little bad boys allowed us to run our PA and keep the sound guy out front of the music. Saved the day. These things are built to take the stage. I would totally buy again for my home studio. Great for a sub mix on a drum kit at a great price. We have used them for 3 services now and still kicking. No noise at all introduced into the signal. AMS has always provided a solution to any of my sound problems.

I was tired of running multiple Mic cables from one room to the next and needed a simple solution and this 8 channel was it. Now I can setup multiple Mic's in the same area and use shorter cables from Mic to snake. Plus I can move the snake anywhere in my studio and not have a wire mess. No issues at all , great product.

Cheap construction

Product Review
Got the product and noticed it felt cheap before I even started using it. Connectors have no relief, don’t lock into my audio board, and cables appear to be only marginally shielded. Returned shortly after it arrived and picked up something that was shielded and used name brand connectors that locked.
For the price, I might consider using it in a situation where it sits in a studio and isn’t moved, but because they skimped on quality construction and there are no returns, it didn’t make sense for me to keep it for live audio.

A Great Little Snake

This little guy is perfect for a backline snake for small setups, or a front snake for larger bands. My only complaint is the numbers on the fan end are small and hard to read, especially on a dimly lit stage.

I've been using this snake for two purposes. One is for home recording and live sound. It's a great solution for ease of setting up if you're running your live sound from the stage for a band that is miking up your instruments and drums, or miking up for multiple mic home recording sessions with your band or tracking drum kits. 25 foot length has been plenty for these purposes. If you plan on using it to set up your mixer offstage in a a front of house position, you'll definitely need to go with a longer length. So far so good with this product.

I own a Production Company with multiple crews and have several of these snakes in various lengths and configurations (8x0-25',8x0-50', 6x2-30'). Da' Crew uses them every show.
We drop one up-stage and one down-stage this way it keeps the stage area clear of our wires.

A Real Time Saver and Stage Cleaner
By: Ken C
Submitted: 10/30/2014
Product Review
This is my 3rd Hosa sub snake. If you've got more than a half dozen lines from the stage and you're not using a sub snake...you're cutting into your drinking time! We use one on the drum kit, and then one each stage right and stage left, and get a total of 22 channels to the main snake box on 3 lines. In addition to cleaning up the stage, it reduces the "trip" factor on stage. (It's hard to be an awesome rock god when you've just face planted into a monitor because you tripped on a pile of cables). Hosa makes a solid, reliable product at a great price point. At a bare minimum, get one if you're mic'ing up a drum kit.

Your general opinion of this product.
purchased this to run as a backline snake to clean things up with my setup
quality is great! channels are insulated to keep out the noise, very nice. i was iffy on the male connectors but they hold up very well.
pretty easy... slap on some labels and go
one thing that attracted me to this product, as well as ALL of Hosas cables, their warranty. usually i can repair cables but if not, their service is GREAT. never had a problem
overall highly recommended! if youre in the market for a 8xlr snake, look no farther

Great Product!
By: Tj Alcock from Lakeland, FL, USA
Submitted: 7/11/2010
The main box is made well, the input could really use click-locks for the cable plug ins. They simply slide in and out, which at live shows can be a hassle if the crowd can bump into it. The Male ends are very thin lines and wont be good for travel, but have worked well for me doing weekend shows w/ tear down and setup.
Convenience and the ability to extend from an exterior snake to the stage front.
The DI's are perfect for acoustic plug ins!
Simple and self explanatory for anyone needing only 8 lines and a couple D.I. Lines
Well worth it. I think it would fair better for studio use, but so far it has withstood quite a bit of live activity and works great.

The quality is good and durable.
The price and length are the best things for me. I needed a small snake to hook up to a church sound system and this fit the bill nicely.
This product was very easy to use, simple pug in and go.
At $79.95 plus free shipping you can't beat it anywhere.

Looks and feels well made. Only had it a couple of weeks. The actual wires to the XLR's seem a bit thin, but all snakes are like this.
I would have prefered the stage connections to be upright (on top).
Plug and play, just remember the outputs are numbered, ha ha :)
Best value out there, I didn't realize how expensive these snakes are!
