SAXLX-3 - 6 Pack of White 3 Foot XLR Patch Cables

$39.99 $46.99

The SAXLX-3 White 6-Pack delivers professional XLR patch cables for studios and organized rack systems, where these white cables stand out and make signal tracing simple during setup and troubleshooting.

Each 3-foot cable features metal 3-pin XLR connectors (male to female) with heavy-duty flexible rubber jackets that handle repeated coiling and transport. The balanced design ensures clean signal transmission between mixers, equalizers, crossovers, amplifiers, and other professional audio gear. The female connector attaches to your source output and the male connector attaches to your destination input.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and proper shielding, these cables maintain signal integrity in demanding live sound environments. The 3-foot length works perfectly for rack-mounted gear connections, short mixer runs, and custom patch bay setups where longer cables create unnecessary slack.

Essential for musicians, DJs, sound engineers, churches, recording studios, and mobile entertainers. Use them to connect outboard gear in your rack, link mixer sections, or create clean connections in broadcast and production environments.

Each cable terminates with standard 3-pin XLR connectors that work with any balanced audio equipment. The 6-pack provides enough cables for typical small setups or serves as backup inventory for larger systems.

Seismic Audio backs every cable with a one-year warranty and ships fast nationwide. Professional-grade connectivity without the premium price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment do these XLR patch cables connect?

These cables work with any gear that has 3-pin XLR inputs and outputs, including mixers, equalizers, crossovers, amplifiers, compressors, and effects processors. They're designed specifically for balanced audio connections in professional audio systems.

Why choose 3-foot cables instead of longer lengths?

The 3-foot length eliminates cable clutter in rack-mounted setups and mixer connections while providing enough reach for standard equipment spacing. Shorter cables reduce signal path length and minimize the chance of interference, plus they're easier to manage during setup and teardown compared to longer runs.

Can I use these for microphone connections?

Yes, these XLR cables work perfectly as microphone cables for short runs, such as connecting mics to nearby preamps or interfaces in studio settings. However, for stage performance where mics need to reach front-of-house mixers, you'll want longer cables like 25 or 50-foot options.

Can these cables be used for DMX lighting applications?

While these cables will physically connect to DMX lighting equipment due to the shared 3-pin XLR connector, there are technical considerations. DMX requires 120-ohm impedance cables, while these audio cables are typically 75-ohm. This impedance mismatch can cause signal reflections and data errors in longer DMX runs, potentially leading to flickering lights or dropped commands. For short DMX connections under 20 feet, they may work adequately, but dedicated DMX cables are recommended for reliable lighting control, especially in professional installations.

What's the difference between these and instrument cables?

XLR cables like these carry balanced signals that resist noise and interference over longer runs, making them ideal for professional audio equipment. Instrument cables use 1/4" connections and carry unbalanced signals, which work fine for guitars and keyboards but aren't suitable for connecting mixers and other pro audio gear.
