Dap - CobraX 12/4 StageSnake 15M

When it comes to centralising several microphones or audio sources on stage, a multipair stagebox can greatly simplify cabling. The CobraX 12/4 StageSnake 15M DAP brings together twelve inputs and four XLR returns in a compact system designed to efficiently link the stage to the mixing console. This configuration is frequently used in concerts, mobile installations, audiovisual stages or events requiring clear management of audio lines.

DAP's CobraX 12/4 StageSnake 15M consists of a robust stagebox connected to a 15-metre multipair cable. The XLR inputs allow direct connection of microphones, DI boxes or other sources present on stage. The four main outputs are used to send signals from the console to stage monitors, amplifiers or other equipment located close to the musicians.

The internal organisation of the box has been designed for reliable use in professional contexts. The connectors are X-type and colour-coded for quick identification of channels during installation. The chassis is fixed directly to the printed circuit board to improve the solidity of the assembly and limit mechanical stress on the connections during repeated handling.

The multipair cable incorporates several levels of protection designed to preserve the integrity of the signal and the durability of the system. An initial braided protection layer ensures the cable's mechanical strength, while an aluminium foil provides a second barrier against electromagnetic interference. Each pair has two conductors, enabling symmetrical audio signals to be carried under good conditions of stability and noise.

The enclosure itself rests on an iron structure, combined with a PVC-sheathed cable, which contributes to the sturdiness of the whole unit during repeated moves and installations. Its compact dimensions make it easy to position on stage without taking up valuable space. For ease of transport, the CobraX 12/4 StageSnake 15M comes with a special storage bag, making it practical for contractors and technical teams who need to quickly install and dismantle their cabling system.
