Hosa Stage Box Snakes & Analog Audio Cables – Pro Sound

The Essential Connection for Professional Live Sound

A Stage Box Snake (also known as an Audio Snake or Multicore Cable) is the central nervous system of any professional live sound or studio setup. It replaces dozens of individual XLR cables with a single, durable trunk, drastically simplifying stage cable management, organization, and tear-down time.

Hosa Technology designs analog Stage Box Snakes built for the rigorous demands of touring and installation. Our solutions provide reliable, noise-free signal transmission from the stage to your mixing console, ensuring that your audio clarity is never compromised.

The Pro-Conex Line: Main, Sub, and Breakout Snakes

The Pro-Conex line is Hosa's family of professional, rugged stage boxes, defined by flexibility and heavy-duty construction. The line includes full-featured main snakes, compact sub snakes, and modern Cat-based breakouts to handle any scenario:

  • Pro-Conex Stage Box Snakes: These are the flagship main snakes of the Pro-Conex line, designed for central, long-distance signal runs. They combine multiple sends and returns into a robust, heavy-duty metal stage box. They are ideal for connecting the entire band's inputs and monitoring lines directly back to the Front-of-House (FOH) mixer. Available in various channel configurations.
  • Little Bro' Sub Snakes: Also part of the Pro-Conex family, these compact units are the perfect extension for breaking out smaller groups of inputs on stage (like drums or a keyboard rig). These sub snakes plug directly into the main stage box or mixer, offering a quick drop point for inputs without running long individual cables across the stage.
  • Little Cat Breakout Snakes: The newest evolution of the Pro-Conex family, the Little Cat leverages shielded Cat 5e or Cat 6 network cable to transmit four channels of analog audio. These streamlined breakout snakes offer a lightweight, low-profile alternative to traditional multi-core cables, allowing you to run four balanced lines over a single, inexpensive network cable.
