It’s Time to Clean House
A long, busy winter has been tough on your stage, backstage, and front of house. Cables are running everywhere — snaking to who knows where. You haven’t seen your favorite mic since the children’s program. Precarious stacks of gear are tempting the laws of gravity. Now is the perfect time to throw open the windows and do a little spring cleaning. Don’t panic; you can do it. And Sweetwater can help you straighten up your stage, getting all things done with excellence and order.
We asked our own live sound experts to list their favorite products for whipping any venue into shape and keeping it that way.
Hosa Label-a-Cable
Your days of “shrugging and plugging” are over. These handy adhesive labels come in packs of 60. Now you can identify what cable belongs to what gear. Setup and tear-down are faster, easier, and more efficient than ever.
Gibraltar Rack Cable Management Clips
If you’re not careful, your rack can start to look like a bad mullet — business in the front, disaster in the back. Fortunately, Gibraltar has the answer. These handy little clips keep standard 1.5″ cables separated without adhesives. Simply click and go.
Planet Waves Elastic Cable Ties 10-pack
Kinked and tangled cables say one of two things: “I don’t know what I’m doing,” or “My cable budget is more than the pastor’s salary.” These elastic cable ties keep cables bound neat and tidy and clip to the cable so you’ll never lose them.

Some cables will just laugh at the average cable tie. When you need to get medieval on stubborn cables, Hosa Hook and Loop Organizers deliver a full foot of cable-taming wrap.
Hosa 8″ Cable Ties
Whether you’re storing cables or arresting a bank robber, these sturdy and affordable plastic ties make sure that things stay where you put them.

“GaffGun, will travel.” (Sorry, we couldn’t resist.) This little beauty saves time, money, and your knees. The GaffGun lets you tape down cables without wrestling with the tape roll or squatting/kneeling.
Whirlwind 1″ Marking Tape
Wouldn’t it be great if you could mark the channels on your console without leaving any residue? This tape keeps your console clean and gunk free.
SKB iSeries Waterproof Mic Case
Safer by the dozen. This tough mic carrier keeps 12 of your favorite mics high, dry, and free from harm until you need them. Also good for your non-favorite mics.
