BEST ANSWER:If you are not getting signal from one of the channels you may want to open up the connector on the fan end (side that plugs into the mixer). There may be a bad connection that can be easily soldered without having to take apart the system. To verify that the connection is the problem take the bad connector and plug it into the ports and equipment used with a working channel. Digital mixers can require some extensive routing and are not always set-up for stage use. If the problem persists please contact customer support about getting a replacement.

This is our first time owning a snake. We recently purchased a "Tascam" mixer board, but we never had a snake to clean up the mess. Upon purchasing, we were unable to make snake work fully. We were able to get sound back to the stage through 2 outputs, but not all 4. So.....we had a professional set it up for us. He built a "group" user or something like that inside of the software, then adjusted something internal on the Tascam. It seems to be working fine now. Incidentally, he was very impressed with the snake we received from Monoprice. Especially when I told him our cost for that item !!! He works in a music store as their studio engineer, had never heard of Monoprice, and I'm sure he will now place a few orders for himself as he was very impressed.
BEST ANSWER:This snake is not designed for use with powered mixers. The return lines are for non-powered balanced connections to powered loudspeakers or amplifiers.

Depends on your mixer. For me, I used 15 and 16. Because the XLRs are going the wrong way, I just used 4 gender changers to hook up my powered speakers. I used A-D for my monitors/wedges -- still needed some 1/4" TRS - XLR cables for the wedges.
You can also use the XLR -- TRS cables if you don't need as many monitors.
We wanted to change up our sound system so we ran the snake to our newly constructed sound booth and it is wonderful. love the way each cable is labeled.
I was really disappointed with this purchase. I have used the mic cords for a while and love them. We needed a new snake for the ensemble and I could pass up the deal that had. I bought the 20channel snake and buy the end of the first year I had all types of problems with it. Because of the type of music I was in I could not stop using it. (marching band). So now I am stuck with a bad snake and having to buy another one.
Pros - great price
Cons - at least 6 channels stopped working for me.
Do I take that chance and buy another one? For a High School Band that is a lot of money.
The snake was shipped quickly. It arrived double boxed, which is probably good considering how heavy it is. The snake was in perfect condition and worked flawlessly. The only thing confusing is that the labels are below the jacks but look like they belong to the jack under them. No biggie.
PROS: Good price. Prompt shipping. Works flawlessly.
CONS: Channel labels on the stage end are somewhat misleading.
THE ONE MIC CONNECTION DOES NOT WORK I CANNOT SEND IT BACK WITHOUT A REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IF I DO I WILL NOT HAVE A PA SYSTEM FOR THE CHURCH. IT WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN A GREAT PURCHASE
PROS: THE PRICE WAS GREAT. SHIPPING WAS ON TIME. LOOK AND PACKAGING WAS EXCELLENT
CONS: THE ONE MIC CONNECTION DOES NOT WORK I CANNOT SEND IT BACK WITHOUT A REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IF I DO I WILL NOT HAVE A PA SYSTEM FOR THE CHURCH. IT WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN A GREAT PURCHASE
Great price for size and length, but arrived broken.
My pros and cons pretty much sum it up. It's an awesome product for an awesome price, but it arrived broken with the connectors on the stage box not actually attached to the box but just hanging by their wires. I've tried to repair them to make them apart of the stage box again, but to no avail. At this point it's probably just a matter of time before they get torn and ripped from the wires. The 1/4" returns are a little strange, but it's totally worth purchasing adapters to make it work. Most other snakes this size are 2-3 times this price, so paying the relatively small price for adapters can be easily justified.
Bottom line is if you get one that doesn't arrived broken, it's one of the best pro audio purchases one can make.
PROS: For the price, size and length, it cannot be beat.
CONS: Arrived broken with a few of the connectors on the stage box broken and hanging by their wires. I still tried them out to see if they worked and it did, but it's super inconvenient and looks very unprofessional. Also 1/4" returns are a little inconvenient, but I had enough adapters laying around to make it all XLR.
