Boomslang Digital aes/XLR cable

Boomslang aes/XLR

The Boomslang AES cable is built entirely from pure silver conductors arranged in our proprietary linear parallel geometry. Unlike traditional digital cables that rely on coaxial construction, the Boomslang separates the signal conductors and controls their spacing through air, minimizing dielectric interaction and preserving the integrity of the transmission path.

Silver was chosen for a reason. Among conductive metals it offers exceptional conductivity and speed, allowing digital edge transitions to remain sharp and precisely defined. When the edges of the digital waveform remain intact, the receiving device can reconstruct timing information with far greater accuracy.

The Boomslang’s linear parallel geometry keeps the conductors suspended with a high percentage of air dielectric. Air stores virtually no energy compared to most insulation materials, which reduces signal smear and helps maintain the correct transmission characteristics for AES digital audio.

The result is a cable that maintains timing stability while allowing the music to emerge with greater clarity and dimensional space. Images become more defined, backgrounds grow quieter, and the presentation opens up without sounding etched or artificial.

Fast. Clean. Precise.

Built by hand, by someone who gives a damn. From my shop in Idaho, straight to your system.

Built by Hand, One at a Time

At Snake River Audio, nothing is mass-produced. Every Snake River Audio cable is custom-built from the bare wire, raw materials per order. No shortcuts. No outsourcing. Just real craftsmanship, by me and my team, one cable at a time.

Lead Time & Curing

Once your order is in, it goes into the build queue. Refer to the Build Queue indicator on our website for the current turnaround time. Once its turn comes up, we’ll hand-craft your cable and, unless you opt out, run it through a 200-hour curing process before shipping. That means it’s almost fully cured, or "burned in" and ready to perform the moment it hits your system. A little bit of settling time is always suggested, but for the most part, they're ready to go!

Build queue is typically about 8–10 business days, and including curing, most orders ship in about three weeks. But please refer to the Build Queue Indicator for up-to-date reference.

You’ll get automatic email updates from the website throughout the process, including tracking once it ships. If you don't see them, check your 'spam' folder. Be sure to mark these emails as "not spam" to ensure future updates.

30-Day Trial. In Your System, On Your Terms

I get it, you need (and should) hear it in your room, not some showroom or hotel suite at an audio show. That’s why we offer a 30-day risk-free trial. If you're not blown away, return the cable in like-new condition and get a full refund, (minus shipping and processing fees). Read more details about our return policy here

Less than 3% of our cables are ever returned. In fact, over 40% of our customers come back for more. That says more than I ever could.

Trade-In Program

Got a Snake River Audio cable you want to upgrade from? Let’s make it easy.

We can accept genuine Snake River Audio cables for trade-in. Just contact us first at SnakeRiverAudio@gmail.com. Once received, we’ll evaluate it based on condition, age, and type, and assign a fair trade-in value, usually 50–75% of original retail.

We list used cables at near break-even, so your trade-in value will reflect actual resale (minus payment and shipping fees.)

I am currently working on a process/partnership to be able to accept non-SRA cables as trade-ins. If you have cables that you don't need any more, even other brands, email and let me know what you've got. I'll need make, model, brand, length, terminations, age (if known), and a couple of pictures to be able to give you a close estimated trade-in value.

Please note: During sale periods, trade-ins are discretionary and handled case-by-case.

Free Shipping - Always

No gimmicks, no thresholds. Just free shipping on every order, every time.
