The SATRXL-M2 Orange provides the balanced connection you need to integrate XLR and TRS gear in your live sound or studio setup. This 2-foot patch cable connects mixers to equalizers, crossovers, compressors, or amplifiers when your gear uses different connector types.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, this cable maintains signal integrity across balanced connections. The metal XLR male connector locks securely into your mixer's output, while the metal 1/4" TRS connector handles high-level signals from rack processors and amplifiers.

The heavy-duty rubber jacket protects the shielded cable during transport and setup, while high-grade fiberglass insulators in the TRS connector prevent signal degradation. At 2 feet, this patch cable keeps your rack connections clean without excess cable management issues.

Use this cable to connect your mixer's XLR outputs to TRS inputs on graphic EQs, crossovers, or compressor/limiters in your rack. It works equally well connecting TRS outputs from processors back to XLR inputs on power amplifiers. The bright orange jacket makes it easy to trace connections in complex rack setups or during quick changeovers.

Simply plug the XLR end into your source device and the TRS end into your destination. The balanced connection maintains professional signal levels and reduces noise in your signal chain.

Seismic Audio backs this patch cable with a one-year warranty. Professional-grade construction at a practical price point for working musicians, sound engineers, and venue installers.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR male to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects gear with XLR outputs to equipment with TRS inputs, or vice versa. Common uses include connecting mixer XLR outputs to graphic equalizers, crossovers, compressors, or other rack processors with TRS inputs. You can also use it to connect TRS outputs from processors back to XLR inputs on power amplifiers.

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

Yes, this is a balanced cable using XLR and TRS connections that maintain professional signal integrity. The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and shielded design ensure clean signal transfer between your mixer and rack-mounted processors. Both connectors use metal construction for reliable connections.

How long should my patch cables be for a standard equipment rack?

At 2 feet, this cable length works well for most rack connections without creating cable management issues. Shorter cables keep your rack organized, while this length provides enough reach for connections between units that aren't directly adjacent. Longer patch cables can create clutter in tight rack spaces.

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

This cable is designed for rack connections between mixers and processors, not for connecting directly to powered speakers. Most powered speakers use XLR or TRS inputs and expect line-level signals, but check your speaker's input requirements and your mixer's output levels before connecting.

Will the orange color affect the cable's performance?

The orange jacket color is purely for identification and doesn't affect audio performance. The bright color makes it easy to trace connections in complex setups or during equipment changes. All audio characteristics come from the internal conductors and shielding, which are identical regardless of jacket color.
