AEA Snaqbox V2 Two-Channel 500 Series Chassis

The AEA Snaqbox V2 is a transparent, two-channel 500-series chassis updated for 2026 with increased power delivery of up to 500mA per unit, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of 500-series modules on the market. The steel chassis is housed in a signature acrylic sideplate—available in clear or fluorescent orange—with durable rubber bumpers on the bottom and Neutrik XLR connectors throughout. Power is supplied via an external switching power supply to keep switching noise isolated from the audio signal path. A Cascade switch internally routes the audio output of Channel 1 to the input of Channel 2 for serial processing on a single source, while still maintaining the Channel 1 output—providing simultaneous dry and processed outputs. V2 units feature “V2” laser etching on the acrylic sideplate.
