About Audio Multicore Cables
A multicore cable carries many audio channels through a single jacket, replacing a tangle of individual leads with one manageable run. Each channel is a balanced, individually shielded core, so signals stay clean between the stage and the mixing desk, or between a studio live room and the control room. Live engineers, venues and studios rely on multicores to keep cabling fast to deploy, easy to trace and reliable night after night.
The SWAMP range covers the two main formats. Stage box cables pair a rugged input box on the stage end with a fan of connectors at the desk, in configurations up to 36 sends with 8 returns and lengths up to a 50m reel-mounted unit. Snake cables are fan-to-fan looms suited to studio, rack and desk-to-interface wiring. Pair your multicore with quality XLR microphone cables on stage, or build your own leads from bulk audio cables sold by the roll and metre.
Multicore Cable FAQs
What is a multicore cable used for?
A multicore cable, often called a snake or loom, runs many microphone and line signals through one cable. The most common use is connecting microphones and DI boxes on stage to a mixing desk at front of house, or linking rooms in a recording studio.
What is the difference between a stage box and a snake cable?
A stage box multicore has a rugged box with numbered XLR inputs at one end, ideal for live stages. A snake cable has loose fan-out connectors at both ends, which suits studio and rack wiring where both ends plug straight into equipment.
Are multicore cables balanced?
Yes. Each channel in an audio multicore is a balanced, individually shielded pair, the same construction as a microphone cable. That means low noise and strong interference rejection even over 30m to 50m runs.
