I just bought a used 100 foot snake.

I was surprised at the configuration.
It has 2 pair of heavy wires designated as speaker 1 and 2.

I had always though that running amps of current through a cable parallel to
mic cables would magnetically induce unacceptable amounts of crosstalk into the mic cables.

So I ran a test.

There was some measurable crosstalk but is was surprisingly low. Low enough that if the mic and speaker are in the same room, acoustic feedback by far dominates the electrical feedback caused by the crosstalk.

So it seems this is a usable configuration.

Does anyone have experience with snakes of this configuration?

thanks

I've used snakes like this, admittedly in relatively low-volume applications (folk clubs). Never had any problems.
