Buy a cheap loom and sooner or later you begin to question the wisdom of your lack of investment in purchasing a better quality item. Within a short space of time the loom refuses to coil neatly and you have a less than good feeling that the XLRs don't fit snugly into the required stage box or desk inputs.
This snake's build quality gives you instant peace of mind - it coils perfectly & neat every time and with the Neutrik tails, there is a reassuring "click" each time you connect them :)
The individual wires are clearly marked in large font with channel numbers (you could then number the individual Neutrik ends to further speed up set up).
Although a premium priced loom, a satisfyingly good quality bit of kit.
