The SATRXL-M2 Blue patch cable connects pro audio gear with different connector types, specifically linking XLR outputs to TRS inputs in your rack or mixing setup. This 2-foot cable bridges the gap when your mixer has XLR outputs but your compressor, EQ, or amplifier requires 1/4" TRS connections.

The cable maintains balanced signal transmission from XLR male to 1/4" TRS male connectors, preserving audio quality across your signal chain. The compact 2-foot length keeps your rack connections tidy while providing enough reach for standard 19" rack gear spacing.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding, the cable delivers clean signal transfer between professional audio components. Metal connectors on both ends provide secure, reliable connections that won't work loose during transport or performance. The heavy-duty rubber jacket protects the internal wiring from repeated flexing and stage abuse.

Use this cable to connect mixing console XLR outputs to rack-mounted processors, send balanced signals from audio interfaces to amplifiers, or adapt between gear with different balanced connector standards. The bright blue jacket makes signal tracing easy in complex setups and helps organize your cable runs by function or channel.

The cable comes ready to use with no additional adapters required. Seismic Audio backs this patch cable with a one-year warranty and ships it fast, giving you reliable connectivity for your professional audio system without the premium price.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects devices with XLR outputs to gear with 1/4" TRS inputs. Common applications include connecting mixing console XLR outputs to rack-mounted compressors, EQs, crossovers, or amplifiers that use TRS inputs. It's also useful for connecting audio interfaces with XLR outputs to studio monitors or powered speakers with TRS inputs.

Is this cable balanced and will it work with professional audio gear?

Yes, this is a fully balanced cable that maintains professional signal standards. The XLR male to TRS male configuration preserves the balanced signal path, providing noise rejection and clean audio transmission. Both connectors use metal housings for reliable connections in professional applications.

How long should my patch cables be for rack gear connections?

The 2-foot length is ideal for standard 19" rack equipment where devices are typically mounted within a few rack spaces of each other. This length provides adequate reach while minimizing cable clutter and signal path length. For connections between adjacent rack units or within the same rack case, 2 feet offers the right balance of flexibility and tidiness.

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

This cable works if your mixer has XLR outputs and your powered speakers have TRS inputs, but check your specific equipment. Many powered speakers use XLR inputs rather than TRS, in which case you'd need an XLR male to XLR female cable instead. Verify your speaker's input connector type before ordering.

Will the blue color affect audio quality or performance?

The blue jacket color is purely for identification and organization purposes and has no impact on audio performance. The cable uses the same internal construction as other colors in the series, with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and proper shielding. Many engineers use different colored cables to identify specific signal paths or channels in their setup.
