The SATRX-2 Purple TRS patch cable delivers professional balanced audio connections for studio racks, live sound setups, and DJ booths where signal integrity matters. This 2-foot cable connects mixers, EQs, compressors, effects units, and amplifiers with balanced 1/4" TRS connections.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and proper shielding, this cable maintains clean audio transmission between your gear. The metal TRS connectors feature high-grade fiberglass insulators that resist wear and provide solid connections to equipment inputs and outputs.

The heavy-duty rubber jacket protects the cable from stage wear while remaining flexible enough for tight rack installations. At 2 feet long, it's sized for connecting adjacent rack units or patching between nearby components on a mixing desk. The purple color coding helps identify signal paths in complex setups where multiple cables run between equipment.

Studio engineers use these cables to patch between outboard processors and mixing consoles. Live sound techs rely on them for connecting rack-mounted EQs and compressors to their main mixing boards. DJs patch between effects processors and mixers during performances.

Each cable terminates in standard 1/4" TRS connectors that fit any balanced audio equipment with TRS inputs or outputs. No adapters needed for most professional audio gear.

Seismic Audio backs the SATRX-2 with a one-year warranty and ships quickly to keep your audio setup running smoothly.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this TRS cable connect?

This cable connects any audio gear with balanced 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs, including mixers, EQs, compressors, effects units, amplifiers, and audio interfaces. It's designed for balanced audio connections that require three-conductor wiring. The cable works with both line-level and instrument-level signals depending on your equipment specifications.

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

For standard 19-inch equipment racks, 2-foot cables like the SATRX-2 work well for connecting adjacent rack units or patching between equipment that's 1-3 rack spaces apart. Longer cables create unnecessary slack that can cause signal issues, while shorter cables may not reach between units with adequate strain relief.

Is this cable balanced or unbalanced?

This is a balanced TRS cable with three conductors (tip, ring, sleeve) that carries balanced audio signals. Balanced cables reject noise and interference better than unbalanced connections, making them essential for professional audio applications where signal quality matters. The shielding provides additional protection against electromagnetic interference.

Can I use this cable for guitar or instrument connections?

While this cable has 1/4" connectors like instrument cables, it's designed for balanced line-level connections between audio equipment. For electric guitars, basses, and other instruments, you typically need unbalanced TS (tip-sleeve) instrument cables instead. Using TRS cables for instruments may cause signal issues or reduced output levels.

What's the difference between this purple cable and other colors?

The purple color is purely for visual identification and doesn't affect audio performance. Many engineers and techs use different colored cables to identify signal paths in complex setups - for example, purple for effects sends, red for monitor feeds, or blue for main outputs. All SATRX series cables have identical electrical specifications regardless of color.
