Professional XLR patch cables for live sound engineers, studio operators, and mobile performers who need reliable balanced connections for their mixing boards, processors, and amplifiers. This 6-pack of green SAXLX-10 cables provides consistent signal routing with the durability required for regular setup and teardown.

Each 10-foot cable features male-to-female 3-pin XLR connectors with metal construction for secure connections that won't fail during performances. The shielded design maintains clean signal transfer between your mixer and outboard gear, while the heavy-duty rubber jacket protects against stage wear and cable runs under foot traffic.

The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors deliver reliable signal transmission for balanced audio connections. At 10 feet, these cables provide the right length for typical rack-to-mixer connections without excess cable management issues. The green color coding helps with organization in multi-cable setups where signal routing needs to be visible at a glance.

These XLR patch cables work for connecting mixing consoles to equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and amplifier inputs. They're equally useful for studio patching between outboard processors and your interface. The cables also function as standard microphone cables when needed. The female connector attaches to your source output and the male connector attaches to your destination input.

Perfect for musicians, DJs, live sound professionals, churches, recording studios, and theater and film production applications.

Each cable terminates in standard 3-pin XLR connectors that fit any professional audio equipment with XLR inputs and outputs. The pack includes six individual 10-foot cables, giving you enough connections for typical live sound signal chains.

Seismic Audio backs these patch cables with a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects, with fast shipping to get your signal chain connected and ready for the next show.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment do these XLR patch cables connect?

These cables connect any professional audio gear with 3-pin XLR inputs and outputs, including mixing consoles, equalizers, crossovers, compressors, amplifiers, and audio interfaces. They're designed for balanced line-level connections between components in your signal chain. You can also use them as standard microphone cables.

How many cables do I need for a typical live sound setup?

Most small to medium live sound setups need 4-6 XLR patch cables for basic signal routing between your mixer and outboard processors like EQs and amplifiers. This 6-pack covers typical connections from a mixer's main outputs to a crossover, then to your power amplifiers. Larger systems with multiple zones or more processors may require additional cables.

Can I use these cables for microphones instead of just patching equipment?

Yes, these XLR cables work perfectly as microphone cables since they use the same 3-pin XLR male-to-female configuration and balanced signal design. The 10-foot length is ideal for most stage microphone applications, giving performers room to move without excess cable on stage. The shielded design prevents interference pickup common in live environments.

Why choose 10-foot cables over shorter or longer lengths?

Ten-foot XLR patch cables provide the optimal balance for most live sound and studio applications. They're long enough to connect rack-mounted processors to your mixer without stretching, but short enough to avoid excess cable clutter around your setup. This length works well for typical stage monitor sends, amplifier feeds, and studio patching distances.

What makes these cables different from unbalanced patch cables?

XLR patch cables carry balanced audio signals, which reject noise and interference much better than unbalanced connections over longer runs. The 3-pin design carries the positive signal, negative signal, and ground separately, allowing the receiving equipment to cancel out any noise picked up along the cable run. This makes them essential for professional live sound and studio applications where signal quality matters.

Can I use these XLR cables for DMX lighting applications?

While these XLR cables will physically connect to DMX lighting fixtures, they're not optimal for DMX use. Audio XLR cables typically have 75-ohm impedance, while DMX512 protocol requires 120-ohm impedance for proper signal transmission. Using audio cables for DMX can work for short runs in basic setups, but may cause signal degradation, data errors, or intermittent lighting control issues over longer distances or in complex lighting systems. For reliable DMX applications, dedicated DMX cables with proper impedance matching are recommended.
