The SATRXL-M25 Orange XLR male to TRS patch cable connects mixers to rack-mounted processors, equalizers, and amplifiers when your gear has mismatched connection types. This balanced cable maintains signal integrity across 25 feet, making it ideal for live sound setups where rack gear needs to be positioned away from the mixing console.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and heavy-duty flexible rubber jacketing, this cable handles the demands of touring rigs and permanent installations. The balanced design ensures clean signal transfer between professional audio equipment, while the bright orange color provides easy identification in complex cable runs.

At 25 feet, this cable gives you the reach needed for larger stages and venues seating up to 400 people, where rack processors are often positioned stage-side while the mixer stays at front-of-house. The metal XLR and TRS connectors lock securely and resist wear from repeated connections. Shielded construction protects your signal from interference in electrically noisy environments.

Connect the XLR male end to mixer outputs and the 1/4" TRS end to compressor, EQ, or crossover inputs. Works equally well connecting outboard gear back to mixer returns or amplifier inputs. The cable ships ready to use with no additional adapters required.

Seismic Audio backs this patch cable with a one-year warranty and ships fast to get your rig connected. Professional build quality at a price that makes sense for working musicians and sound engineers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects mixers with XLR outputs to rack-mounted processors like equalizers, compressors, crossovers, and amplifiers that have 1/4" TRS inputs. It's also useful for connecting outboard gear back to mixer channel inserts or returns. The balanced design maintains professional signal quality between mismatched connection types.

How long should my patch cables be for a typical live sound setup?

For venues seating 200-400 people, 25-foot patch cables provide the reach needed when rack gear is positioned stage-side and the mixer is at front-of-house position. Shorter cables work for smaller venues or when equipment is rack-mounted together. Longer runs may require 50-foot cables for larger venues or outdoor festivals.

Is this cable balanced and will it work with unbalanced gear?

Yes, this is a balanced cable using TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connections that carry positive, negative, and ground signals. It will work with unbalanced equipment, but you'll only get the noise rejection benefits when both connected devices support balanced operation. Most professional mixers and rack processors use balanced connections.

Can I use this cable to connect my mixer to powered speakers?

This cable is designed for line-level connections between mixers and rack processors, not for connecting to powered speakers. Most powered PA speakers use XLR female inputs, so you'd need an XLR male to XLR female cable instead. This TRS connection is specifically for rack-mounted processors and amplifiers.

Why choose orange cables over standard black ones?

Orange cables provide easy visual identification in complex cable runs, making setup and troubleshooting faster during live events. The bright color helps sound engineers quickly trace signal paths and identify specific connections in dimly lit venues. The cable's electrical performance is identical to black versions.
