Seriously Good Value
IJL Audio 05.11.2018
Having purchased the sssnake over a year ago, my primary concern regarding a product like this (multiple channels that I can rely on every time I use it!) has been satisfied. Although not used on a daily basis (once or twice times a month perhaps), it has really taken a beating so far! The quality of the product is not (at least) below what is to be expected for the price. The outer shielding of the cable could perhaps be a little thicker in my opinion. I have not yet had to inspect the internals but the multicore box entry point seems strong and sealed well by the screwing top. One slight issue did occur with this however, as the outer shielding came loose after a particular show and had to be re-inserted with the screw cap loose. Aside from this small issue the multi has held up well against shows where only tape protected the cable from pedestrian traffic, prams, wheelchairs etc. Minus the fact the shielding could be thicker, the core tends to "squash" well under pressure, meaning it would take either something OVER approx. 100-150kg or very sharp to damage the internal cabling. (Have witnessed similar bulk cable types "crush" under pressure as the core is too tight, breaking the internal wiring). So far, so good. Highly recommended if required within a budget.

The snake cable diameter was a lot smaller than expected and as it was being used in a permanent installation it fitted into the trunking wit ease and saved a lot of problems.
Electrically there have been no problems with the connections and the socket hardware is of good quality.

Works well but..

No technical problems. All connections work faultlessly but the distance between the sockets on the box prevent for example, adding some tape and making any markings eg; vocal 1, guitar, bass drum etc, and the numbers are very hard to read, even in good light.

Bought this multicore a few years ago and it's had moderate use since then. It has been excellent for the gigs I do, whether it has been in pubs or for outdoor gigs etc. It hasn't set a foot wrong in the time I've had it! I've had other 'budget' multicores and they developed problems such as dead channels and connections breaking, but nothing has gone wrong with this one bought from Thomann. I look after my equipment, but has still impressed me and seems like good quality for the price. Would have been nice / useful for it to have been on a reel, but I can not complain at the price.

Cost effective product
imtutta 06.06.2017
The quality is not top-notch, but for this price is very convenient. Used a couple of time on live situation and everything went nice and smooth.

Pro: cheap, plastic bags for connector protection
Cons: it feels a bit lighter than expected.

Highly suggested for budget situations!

Great bit of kit
Anonymous 21.08.2014
I've used this multicore on several occasions.
It's very robust and everything seems reliable on it. Different colours for the returns make life a lot easier. A lot of the stickers on the xlrs have come off (the adhesive on the stickers isn't very strong) so soon I'll need to replace them but overall it's a brilliant piece of kit at a really good price. If you get this, make sure you get a case for it - it'll make life loads easier!!

nice long multi for what I needed it for
Andetti 18.05.2020
did the job i needed it to do, but over time one or two of the channels have gone down or phantom doesn't work anymore. Was always wrapped under\ over but still it happened. The labeling on it isn't very reliable as they are only stickers on the xlr's

Good-value multicore
Tromboneman 19.04.2020
For travelling use, this does a great job, and the in/out connectors seem very solid and have not let us down, as some have in the past. Best not to abuse it, though, as it is not, perhaps, a very heavy-duty multicore, but for regular use, it is more than acceptable at this price point. Would certainly buy this again if I were looking for a similar product.
