Connect your XLR-equipped mixer or preamp to TRS input gear with the SATRXL-M10 balanced patch cable. This 10-foot cable bridges the gap between professional mixing consoles and rack-mounted processors, amplifiers, or monitor controllers that use different connector formats.

The balanced XLR male to 1/4" TRS configuration maintains signal integrity across your entire audio chain. Whether you're routing mixer outputs to graphic EQs, feeding compressors from channel inserts, or connecting outboard gear to your amplifier rack, this cable delivers clean, professional connections.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding, the SATRXL-M10 handles line-level signals without degradation. The heavy-duty rubber jacket protects against stage wear, while metal connectors with high-grade fiberglass insulators ensure reliable connections night after night. At 10 feet, it provides enough reach for most rack installations without excess cable clutter.

Perfect for live sound engineers connecting mixer outputs to crossovers or graphic EQs, studio engineers patching outboard processors, or mobile DJs routing signals between different rack components. The balanced design eliminates noise and interference common in unbalanced connections, making it essential for professional installations and touring rigs.

Simply connect the XLR male end to your mixer's balanced output and the TRS end to your destination device's balanced input. The blue jacket makes signal tracing easy in complex setups. Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and fast shipping, this cable delivers the reliability your professional audio system demands.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects XLR output devices like mixing consoles, preamps, or audio interfaces to TRS input devices such as graphic equalizers, compressors, crossovers, power amplifiers, or monitor controllers. It's designed for balanced line-level connections between professional audio gear that uses different connector formats.

Can I use this cable for microphones or instruments?

No, this cable is designed specifically for line-level connections between audio equipment, not for microphones or instruments. Microphones require XLR to XLR cables, while instruments typically need unbalanced 1/4" TS connections. This XLR to TRS cable is for connecting balanced line outputs to balanced line inputs.

How long should my patch cables be for a typical rack setup?

For most standard 19-inch equipment racks, 10-foot cables provide adequate reach between units without excessive slack. This length works well for connections within the same rack or between adjacent racks. Shorter cables reduce clutter, while longer cables may be needed for larger installations or when equipment is spread across multiple locations.

Is this cable balanced on both ends?

Yes, this cable maintains balanced connections on both the XLR male and TRS ends. The XLR carries the balanced signal on pins 2 and 3 with pin 1 as ground, while the TRS connector uses tip and ring for the balanced signal with sleeve as ground. This configuration preserves the noise-rejection benefits of balanced audio throughout the connection.

What's the difference between TRS and TS connectors for this application?

TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connectors support balanced connections with two signal conductors and ground, providing noise rejection over long cable runs. TS (tip-sleeve) connectors only support unbalanced connections. Since this cable uses TRS, it maintains the balanced signal integrity from your XLR source, which is essential for professional audio applications.
