Chicago-based cable distributor, AVCable (known widely as www.AVCable.com) has extended its product line to include a professional-grade multi-pin disconnect audio snake system, in order to round out its contractor-grade product offering.

According to company president, Jim Woodier, the idea for a superior multi-pin disconnect audio snake system came about as a result of a unique user application. “We were approached by the AV manager of Hope Community Church in Oak Forest, Ill., which worships in a local high school auditorium. Because the church utilizes shared space, the entire sound system must be set up and torn down every Sunday.

“To address the problem, we designed a heavy-duty custom multi-pin disconnect snake system that allows the mixing board, FOH rack, amp rack, stage box, and wireless receivers to be interconnected with just three cables and five connections. The system dramatically reduces setup and teardown time. The snake system also minimizes the chance for connection errors by the church’s volunteer personnel, which is an added benefit.”

The new product, which dramatically reduces setup and take-down time by allowing individual connectors to remain attached to equipment, is ideal for use in setting up portable sound systems in larger venues, such as meeting rooms, lecture halls, houses of worship, and entertainment venues where the mix position may be located in one of several locations. The audio snake system allows the AV system manager to quickly disconnect a rack of equipment and wheel it away for storage when the sound system is not in use.

AVCable’s system employs an ultra-heavy-duty, military-grade circular multi-pin connector designed to withstand the rigors of heavy usage and/or frequent setup and teardown—keeping repair costs and unexpected system downtime to a minimum.

The systems are built to the customer’s specifications, with customized quotations in as little as 24 hours. For more information, visit www.avcable.com.
