Overview

The Avid DB25-DB25 Digisnake is a professional multi-channel audio cable designed to interconnect Pro Tools HD interfaces, patchbays, converters, and other studio equipment that uses the industry-standard DB25 connector format. Each DB25 connector carries eight channels of balanced analog audio, making it possible to route a full bank of inputs or outputs on a single, neatly bundled cable rather than eight individual XLR or TRS runs. The standard wiring pinout ensures compatibility not only with Avid's own HD I/O and HD OMNI interfaces but also with third-party gear from manufacturers like Apogee, Lynx, and Dangerous Music.

At 12 feet, this Digisnake is well-suited for connecting equipment within the same rack or across a compact control room. The cable is built to Avid's specifications for shielding and signal integrity, which is important when running multiple channels of balanced audio in close proximity to power cables and digital equipment. For studios that rely on DB25 connectivity as a backbone for their analog signal path, this cable provides a clean, verified connection without the uncertainty that can come with unbranded alternatives.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • 12-foot length accommodates most in-room studio wiring needs

👎 Cons

  • 12-foot length may be too short for runs between separate control and live rooms

  • Higher cost than generic third-party DB25 snakes carrying the same signal
  • No individual channel breakout—requires DB25 connectors on both ends of the signal path

Frequently Asked Questions

A single DB25 connector carries eight channels of balanced analog audio, so this cable provides an 8-channel connection between compatible devices.
Yes. The cable uses the standard DB25 wiring pinout (Tascam/AES59), so it works with any audio interface, patchbay, or converter that follows the same standard, not just Avid hardware.
Twelve feet is suitable for connecting rack-mounted gear within the same room or machine room. For longer runs between a control room and a live room, a longer cable may be required.
This particular Digisnake is wired for analog audio. Avid offers separate DB25 cables for AES/EBU digital connections with different wiring.
