The EWI PSPX 16 x 8 series snake is a medium-quality professional product. Both the fantail and stage box are all XLR. This is a 16 channel XLR send snake with 8 XLR returns. The returns have parallel MXLR and 1/4″ TRS panel jack on the stage box. The stage box is very heavy-duty and well labeled. The fantail is also heavy-duty, color-coded to groups, and very well labeled. The main trunk is constructed with EWI SMC cable which is 24 individual shielded pairs, 22 ga., high copper purity conductors with double aluminum foil shield and trace wire, which is heavy-duty, and very flexible. Strain relief at the stage box and fantail is provided with a mesh grip style hanger at the fantail and a rubber compression aluminum cable clamp at the stage box. The panel jacks are the buttonless “spring-loaded” style with composite (non-metallic) bodies. The fantail is constructed with the EWI black shell with gold contact point XLR connectors. This is a good quality snake, suitable for professional applications. It even comes with a nifty blue bag to protect the fantail when not in use.
