The EWI SPPX series snake is a
smaller format reel style snake which is an excellent choice for
portable application. The frame size of this series has been
reduced by nearly 20% from our full sized RPPX series snakes.
Both the fantail and stage box are all
XLR. The send channels are available in configurations from 8
to 16 channels with 4 channels of returns on all models. The returns have parallel MXLR and 1/4" TRS panel jack on the
reel drum. Because of the smaller drum size, the largest
configuration available in the 16 channel send by 4 channel return
is 100ft. The 8 and 12 channel models are available in 100ft. and
150ft.
The fantail is all EWI ES3FB-GDP (FXLR)
and ES3MB-GDP (MXLR) black shell
with gold contact point connectors with the Caps of
the Returns color coded
Red for easy identification. We have
various lengths of MXLR to ¼" TRS adaptor cables available if your
drive rack requires ¼" TRS connections for the sends, and if you
need a little more length on the send channels to reach the drive
rack.
The reel and drum are medium duty and
well labeled. The
fantail is heavy duty, color coded to groups and very well
labeled with indelible ink.
The main trunk is constructed with EWI SMC cable which has individual shielded
pairs, 22 ga., high copper purity conductors with double aluminum
foil shield and trace wire, which is heavy duty and very flexible.
There is a mesh grip strain relief at the fantail which will allow
the fantail to be supported and take the strain off panel jacks.
There are 4 ea. rubber feet mounted on
the bottom of the reel frame.
There is a brake mechanism on the drum
to set it in place once you've 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. It even comes with a nifty blue
bag to protect the fantail when not in use.
