Whirlwind ESF

E Snake consists of E Snake Frames (ESF) and E Snake Control software. Two or more of these units connected to each other through  100Mb Ethernet switch with CAT-5 or fiber optics replace the traditional analog multipair audio snake. E Snake features full remote control of the mic premps and can be input directly to any digital console that will accept Cobranet or EtherSound protocol.

Preamp gain and phantom power functions may also be controlled directly from Yamaha digital console surfaces, such as the PM5D by using the Whirlwind YHAUSBCBLKIT Yamaha HA to USB interface cable between the control computer and the mixer.
