Are you in search of a versatile, high-quality audio solution for your professional needs Look no further than the Whirlwind E Snake 2 16-Channel Cobranet Frame without I/O Cards. This advanced audio device is designed to accept E Snake series modular audio cards, allowing for custom configurations to meet your specific stage input and return requirements.
Experience pristine audio signals with up to 16 channels (8 in, 8 out) at a 24-bit, 96kHz resolution. This innovative device can transmit these signals up to 328' (100 m) via economical CAT-5 cable, making it a reliable choice for larger events or projects.
The E Snake 2 is compatible with all CobraNet devices, offering exceptional versatility for your audio setup. Need more capacity Multiple frames can be easily joined with Gigabit switches. The E Snake 2 also features an external power supply port, allowing it to be powered by the ESP 1 external power supply for added protection against power failure.
The E Snake 2 is built to the highest professional standards, featuring top-notch mic preamps and A/D, D/A converters. Expect wide and flat frequency response, low THD, and residual noise that exceeds the noise floor of the measuring device.
The E Snake 2's modularity allows it to accept any two of the E Snake series cards - input, output, or any combination of the two. Mix and match Mic/Line, Line, or AES/EBU configurations, with each card processing 8 channels for superb connectivity with any CobraNet or existing E Snake digital snake system.

The E Snake 2 is now incorporated into the existing E Snake Control software, a single Windows PC application that allows for controlling the input parameters of all E Snake products from any point on the CobraNet network.
The E Snake 2 also features a unique gain tracking function. When two or more E Snake units are connected, E Snake Control "tracks" any changes made to the inputs and adjusts the outputs accordingly. This makes the E Snake 2 a "virtual wire" - as input gain is adjusted, the analog level of the output card is adjusted by the same amount but in the opposite direction.
CobraNet is rapidly becoming accepted as a standard for transporting multi-channel, real-time audio. Over 40 manufacturers now subscribe to the CobraNet standard and digital consoles are now providing direct input via CobraNet I/O modules. Choose the Whirlwind E Snake 2 16-Channel Cobranet Frame for a durable, reliable, and advanced audio solution.
