EWI-RPPX 32 150G Snake

Product Description

The EWI RPPX 32 x 8 series REEL snake is a medium duty professional product. This snake is an excellent choice for portable application. You only roll out as much cable as you need, and leave the rest on the drum.

Both the fantail and stage box are all XLR. This is an 24 channel XLP send snake with 8 XLR returns on a reel. The returns have parallel MXLR and 1/4″ TRS panel jack on the reel drum.

There are 4 ea. 2 1/2″ casters mounted on the bottom of the reel frame for transportation. Two of the four casters have locking brakes on them. The casters are a good size for in-doors use; however, they are a little on the small side for rolling across grass or a gravel parking lot.

The snake is shipped with the casters not assembled on the frame. This reduces the chances of the casters or frame being damaged in shipping. Mounting the casters on the frame is facilitated by using a 19MM (or 3/4″) and 17MM (or 11/16″) end wrenches. Many folks mount the reel snake in a pull over flight case. Typically I have various cases in stock that are well suited for this.

There is a brake mechanism on the drum to set it in place once you’ll reeled out enough cable. It’s a friction brake, so it doesn’t lock the drum down hard which is a plus if somebody starts tugging on the cable unaware that the brake is set. There are two brake indents where the brake can be set to lock the drum down solid.
