The SATRXL-M2 Red connects balanced XLR outputs to 1/4" TRS inputs across your signal chain. This 2-foot patch cable bridges mixers to equalizers, compressors, crossovers, and amplifiers when your gear uses different connector types.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, this balanced cable maintains signal integrity across short runs in your rack or between nearby components. The shielded design prevents interference in dense equipment setups.

The cable features a metal 3-pin XLR male connector on one end and a metal 1/4" TRS plug with fiberglass insulators on the other. The heavy-duty rubber jacket protects the cable during setup and teardown while remaining flexible enough for tight routing around rack equipment.

Perfect for connecting digital mixers with XLR outputs to analog gear with 1/4" inputs, routing signals between rack-mounted processors, or adapting studio monitors with different input types. The 2-foot length keeps signal paths short while providing enough reach for most rack configurations.

The balanced design works with line-level signals from mixers, audio interfaces, and outboard gear. Simply connect the XLR end to your source equipment and the TRS end to your destination device.

Seismic Audio backs this patch cable with a one-year warranty. The red jacket makes signal flow easy to trace in complex setups where organization matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects any device with an XLR male output to equipment with a 1/4" TRS input. Common connections include digital mixers to analog equalizers, audio interfaces to rack compressors, or studio monitors with different input types. The balanced design works with line-level signals typically found in professional audio gear.

Is this cable balanced and does it work with stereo signals?

Yes, this is a balanced cable that carries mono signals between balanced XLR and TRS connections. It does not carry stereo signals - you would need two of these cables for stereo routing. The balanced design maintains signal quality and reduces noise compared to unbalanced connections.

Will 2 feet be long enough for my rack setup?

The 2-foot length works well for connecting adjacent rack units or routing between nearby equipment on the same rack shelf. For connections spanning multiple rack spaces or reaching equipment further apart, consider longer lengths. Most standard 19-inch rack configurations can use 2-foot cables for direct unit-to-unit connections.

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

This cable works if your mixer has XLR outputs and your powered speakers have 1/4" TRS inputs, but check your speaker's input type first. Many powered speakers use XLR inputs, which would require an XLR-to-XLR cable instead. This cable is designed for line-level connections, not speaker-level signals.

Does the red color affect signal quality or performance?

No, the red jacket color is purely for identification and cable management. The color helps you trace signal flow in complex setups with multiple cables. The internal conductors and shielding remain the same regardless of jacket color, so performance is identical to other colors in the same cable series.
