SAXLX-2 - Brown 2 Foot XLR Patch Cable
The SAXLX-2 Brown is a 2-foot XLR patch cable designed for musicians, DJs, sound engineers, churches, recording studios, and broadcasters who need reliable balanced connections in tight spaces. This short-run cable handles the connections between nearby rack gear, stage boxes, and equipment where longer cables create unnecessary clutter.
Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and heavy-duty shielded construction, this cable delivers clean signal transfer for balanced audio applications. The flexible rubber jacket stands up to repeated setup and teardown while maintaining signal integrity over time.
At 2 feet long, this patch cable connects mixers to equalizers, crossovers to amplifiers, or links equipment without excess cable creating trip hazards on stage. The brown color coding helps organize complex setups where multiple signal paths need visual identification.
Use this cable for rack-mounted gear connections, stage box patches, or anywhere you need a short XLR run that won't create cable management issues. It works equally well for microphone connections in tight studio spaces or as part of a larger live sound rig where clean cable runs matter.
Each cable features male and female 3-pin XLR connectors with metal construction for long-term durability. The female connector attaches to your source output and the male connector attaches to your destination input. Ships ready to use with no additional accessories needed. Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and fast shipping to get your rig connected and working.

Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment does this XLR patch cable connect?
This cable connects any gear with 3-pin XLR inputs and outputs, including mixers, equalizers, crossovers, amplifiers, and audio interfaces. The male-to-female configuration makes it perfect for patching between rack-mounted equipment or extending existing XLR connections by 2 feet.
Is 2 feet long enough for rack gear connections?
Yes, 2 feet is ideal for connecting equipment within the same rack or between adjacent racks. This length eliminates cable clutter while providing enough slack for equipment removal and maintenance. For connections across a stage or to front-of-house, you'll need longer cables.
Can I use this cable for DMX lighting applications?
While this cable will physically connect to DMX fixtures, it's not recommended for lighting control. XLR audio cables like this one are designed for 75-ohm impedance, while DMX512 protocol requires 120-ohm impedance. Using audio cables for DMX can cause signal reflections, data errors, and unreliable lighting control, especially over longer runs or in complex lighting networks. For reliable DMX control, use cables specifically designed for DMX512 applications.
How does the brown color help in live sound setups?
Brown color coding helps identify specific signal paths in complex rigs where multiple XLR cables run between equipment. Many engineers use different colored cables to track vocals, instruments, or different mix buses, making troubleshooting and setup changes much faster during shows.
What's the difference between this and longer XLR cables?
The only difference is length - this uses the same construction and connectors as longer Seismic Audio XLR cables. Shorter cables reduce clutter and potential signal loss over long runs, while longer cables obviously cover greater distances. Choose length based on your specific connection needs.
