This Whirlwind Medusa Multitrack Series 8 Channel 1/4" TRS Male to XLR Female Fanout Snake Cable is constructed of multipair cable with a heat-shrunk fanout at each end. The cabling consists of heavy duty, flexible Belden CM rated multipair cable. Each pair contains two twisted 24GA 7x32 polyethylene insulated conductors with 100% foil shield and 24GA drain wire. The fanouts feature genuine Whirlwind 1/4" TRS and XLR connectors, and all channels are numbered.

Snake cables can be used to interface multitrack recorders or outboard equipment to mixing consoles, or to combine several balanced (microphone) cables into one smaller diameter multipair cable. Snake cables make setup and teardown much faster and easier, with less tangling and clutter than would otherwise be the case.

Fanouts with multiple layers of rugged heat shrink at the most critical points.

Fanouts feature Whirlwind connectors with engraved numbers.

Made in U.S.A.

Q: 2. Can two F6's be synced together to get 11 or 12 synced inputs?

A: There isn't a direct link function. However, if you connect 2 F-series units (including the F4, F8 or F8n) via the timecode in/out, and you turn audio clock sync on, then the clocks and timecode clocks will be synced.
