The SATRXL-M3 6-pack delivers professional XLR male to TRS connections for studios, live sound engineers, and mobile performers who need reliable balanced signal routing. These orange patch cables bridge the gap between mixers, equalizers, compressors, and amplifiers when gear uses different connector types.

Each 3-foot cable features metal XLR male connectors on one end and metal 1/4" TRS plugs with high-grade fiberglass insulators on the other, ensuring solid connections that won't fail mid-performance. The balanced design maintains signal integrity across your entire signal chain.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding, these cables deliver clean signal transfer without noise interference. The heavy-duty rubber jacket withstands the constant handling that comes with regular setup and breakdown, while the bright orange color makes cable identification simple in complex routing situations.

Perfect for connecting mixing consoles to outboard processing gear, routing monitor feeds, or adapting between different rack-mounted equipment interfaces. The 3-foot length works well for tight rack spacing or nearby equipment connections without excess cable clutter.

These balanced patch cables handle professional line-level signals and work with any gear featuring standard XLR outputs and TRS inputs. The 6-pack quantity covers most small to medium routing needs for project studios or mobile DJ setups.

Seismic Audio backs these patch cables with a one-year warranty and ships them ready to work out of the box.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment do these XLR to TRS cables connect?

These cables connect mixing consoles, audio interfaces, or other gear with XLR outputs to equipment with TRS inputs like equalizers, compressors, crossovers, and amplifiers. They're essential for routing balanced signals between different types of professional audio equipment that use different connector standards.

Why choose 3-foot patch cables over longer lengths?

The 3-foot length is ideal for connecting nearby equipment in racks or desktop setups without creating cable clutter. Shorter patch cables reduce signal path length, minimize potential noise pickup, and keep your workspace organized while still providing enough reach for most equipment spacing.

Are these cables balanced and will they work with unbalanced gear?

Yes, these are fully balanced cables that maintain signal integrity and reject noise when used with balanced equipment. They'll also work when connecting balanced outputs to unbalanced TRS inputs, though you'll lose the noise rejection benefits of the balanced connection.

How many cables do I need for a typical studio setup?

Most project studios or small mixing setups need 4-6 patch cables for connecting outboard processors, so this 6-pack covers standard routing needs. Larger studios or live sound applications may need additional cables depending on the number of processors and routing requirements.

What's the difference between TRS and TS connections?

TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) connectors carry balanced signals using three conductors, while TS (Tip-Sleeve) connectors are unbalanced with two conductors. These TRS cables provide better noise rejection and signal quality than TS connections, making them the professional standard for line-level audio routing.
