does anyone here use a stage snake in the studio and if so do you have problems....i just bought a 25 foot 24 channel snake. it's being shipped to me but i was just wondering if you guys experience bad sound quality.

I really want one, because it seems like it would be incredibly convenient - and as long as you got one with good cable and connectors, quality shouldn't be an issue as a result of balanced XLR cable.

Sounds like shit!
I have this 200ft. ProCo stage snake that is used for recording and live and it works well. I'm sure if you really wanted to be a cablefag, you could find some quality issues, but hell, I'm recording music, not scientific readings.

I've been using a snake for a few years now for studio purposes, and I have never had any issues whatsoever. I love the conveniece.

I'm going to order a 30m 16/4 snake+box pretty soon. It should be enough for what I'm planning on doing in my "studio". It'll most likely be from Cordial, since they seem to be OK (we carry Cordial cables in the store).
Any caveats?

I was looking at getting a ProCo 16 x 4 25ft or 50ft snake soon... How do you guys run your snakes from the control room to the live room? How do you get it through the wall without creating an opportunity for sound to travel between the rooms?
Don't forget about building your own snakes guys; it'd probably be cheaper and would give you the ability to use all high quality connectors and cables

I would recommend not taking them on a plane though... (I hate myself, but I really had to do it).

you put an XLR panel into the wall between the live and control room

dude yeah. it fucking pisses me off trying to roll the damn thing up.
i got it a long long time ago for really cheap and it sat for years until recently.
the mixer it's hooked to is used for live sound too, so the extra length is good for the live stuff, but it's seriously out of hand. haha.
oh wait, it's actually 100ft, but it feels like 200 when your trying to roll it up and shit.
Well you if you don't wanna cut holes in you wall it should reach around walls and doors if your'e in a home but also you can cut a hole in the wall and then fill in the gaps with expanding foam
yea, that too...but the xlr panel is definitely considered the "legit" method
too bad they cost so damned much
