SATRXL-M6 - 6 Pack of Purple 6 Foot XLR Male to TRS Patch Cables
The SATRXL-M6 six-pack delivers professional XLR male to TRS patch cables in distinctive purple for studios, venues, and mobile rigs where color-coding matters. Each 6-foot cable connects balanced XLR outputs to 1/4" TRS inputs, making them essential for routing signals between mixers, processors, and amplifiers.
These balanced cables maintain signal integrity across your entire audio chain. The metal XLR male connectors lock securely into mixer outputs, while the 1/4" TRS plugs with fiberglass insulators provide reliable connections to equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and power amplifiers. The heavy-duty rubber jacket withstands repeated setup and teardown.
Each cable features 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and full shielding to preserve your mix quality. The 6-foot length provides flexibility for typical rack configurations without excess cable clutter. Purple jackets make these cables instantly identifiable in complex setups where different signal paths need visual separation.
Perfect for recording studios connecting outboard gear, live venues running processors between mixer and amps, or mobile DJs building modular PA systems. Houses of worship benefit from the color-coding when multiple operators handle the same system, while production companies appreciate the visual organization across different rigs.
This six-pack provides complete connectivity for most small-to-medium mixer setups requiring balanced patch cables. Seismic Audio backs these professional-grade cables with a full one-year warranty and fast shipping to keep your audio chain connected.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between XLR to TRS and XLR to TS cables?
XLR to TRS cables like these carry balanced signals, which reject noise and interference over longer runs. TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connections maintain the balanced signal from your mixer's XLR output to gear with 1/4" balanced inputs. TS cables are unbalanced and more susceptible to noise, especially in electrically noisy environments.
Can I use these to connect my mixer directly to powered speakers?
These cables work if your powered speakers have 1/4" TRS inputs, but check your speaker's input type first. Many powered PA speakers use XLR inputs, which would require XLR-to-XLR cables instead. These XLR-to-TRS cables are designed primarily for connecting mixers to rack-mounted processors like equalizers, crossovers, or compressors.
How many cables do I need for a typical live sound setup?
A basic stereo setup requires two cables (left and right channels) from your mixer to your main processor or amplifier. This six-pack covers a full stereo main system plus four monitor sends, or handles connections for multiple rack processors. Most small venues and mobile rigs find six cables sufficient for complete signal routing.
Why choose purple cables over standard black ones?
Purple cables provide instant visual identification in complex setups where different signal paths need separation. Many engineers use color-coding: purple for main outputs, red for monitors, blue for effects sends. This prevents connection errors during setup and makes troubleshooting faster when multiple operators work the same system.
Are these cables suitable for professional recording studios?
Yes, these balanced cables meet professional studio standards with oxygen-free copper conductors and proper shielding. They're ideal for connecting mixing consoles to outboard processors, patch bays to rack gear, or any balanced XLR-to-TRS routing. The 6-foot length works well for typical rack configurations without excess cable management issues.
