Pro Sound Web: Ideally, a band on tour should wake up to a late brunch, hit the hotel health spa, shower and head over to the hall where everything is plugged in and ready for an extended sound check/jam session.
If this scenario is unfamiliar to you, then more efficient methods of connecting your equipment at the last second may be exactly what you need. It certainly can’t hurt.

I really enjoy what this article has to say on effective cabling methods. If there is one thing I have noticed, especially this summer, it is that effective cabling doesn't always make its way to the stage, especially in fast paced festival settings. One technique that I typically used over the summer which is outlined in this article is the use of the snake box with the multipin disconnect for the drum "throne". In our case we used a CPC box and CPC cable. This allowed for 12 inputs per box which is typically more than enough for the typical drum kit. When one band was done their kit was simply rolled off and unplugged. As for the guitar systems, I did not know much actually went into wiring up these systems. In my experience we did not have have any issues with just miking up the amp and mixing that into the system. This section of the article is what really peaked my interest.
