The SAXLX-10 Purple delivers reliable balanced audio connections for musicians, DJs, churches, recording studios, broadcasters, and mobile entertainers who need professional XLR patch cables that stand out in low-light environments. This 10-foot cable handles the critical signal routing between mixers, equalizers, crossovers, and amplifiers that keeps your audio system running smoothly.

Built with heavy-duty flexible rubber jacketing, this cable maintains signal integrity while resisting the wear and tear of frequent setup and breakdown. The metal 3-pin XLR connectors (male to female) provide secure, long-lasting connections that won't fail during critical moments. The female connector attaches to your source output and the male connector attaches to your destination input.

The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors ensure clean signal transmission, while the shielded design prevents unwanted noise interference. At 10 feet, this cable length works perfectly for rack-to-rack connections, mixer to amplifier runs, and short-distance microphone extensions without excess cable clutter.

Use this cable to connect mixing consoles to power amplifiers, patch between rack-mounted processors, or extend microphone runs. The bright purple jacket makes cable identification simple during setup and breakdown, especially valuable for touring acts and rental companies managing multiple signal paths.

Standard XLR connections work with any professional audio gear using balanced 3-pin XLR inputs and outputs.

Seismic Audio backs this cable with a one-year warranty and ships fast to keep your system connected and your shows on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

What audio equipment can I connect with this XLR patch cable?

This cable connects any professional audio gear with balanced XLR inputs and outputs, including mixing consoles, equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and power amplifiers. You can also use it as a microphone extension cable. The male-to-female configuration makes it perfect for extending existing XLR connections.

How does the 10-foot length work for different setups?

The 10-foot length handles most rack-to-rack connections and mixer-to-amplifier runs without creating cable clutter. It's long enough for typical stage monitor sends and short microphone extensions, but won't leave you with excess cable coiled on the floor. For longer runs, consider our 25-foot or 50-foot XLR cables.

Why choose a purple cable over standard black cables?

The bright purple jacket makes cable identification much faster during setup and breakdown, especially in low-light conditions or when managing multiple signal paths. This color coding helps touring acts, rental companies, and venues quickly trace connections without having to follow each black cable individually. The audio performance remains identical to our black XLR cables.

Can this cable handle phantom power for condenser microphones?

Yes, this shielded XLR cable safely carries phantom power (typically 48V) from your mixer or audio interface to condenser microphones. The balanced design and quality construction ensure reliable phantom power delivery without voltage drops or interference. The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors provide excellent signal transmission for both dynamic and condenser microphones.

What's the difference between this and cheaper XLR cables?

This cable uses 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and heavy-duty flexible rubber jacketing, compared to thinner conductors and cheaper plastic jackets in budget cables. The metal XLR connectors resist wear better than plastic housings, while the professional shielding prevents noise interference that can plague cheaper alternatives. You get reliable performance that won't fail during critical shows.

Can I use this cable for DMX lighting control?

While this cable will physically connect to DMX fixtures, it's not recommended for dedicated DMX applications. DMX512 requires 120-ohm impedance cables, while this audio cable has 75-ohm impedance. This impedance mismatch can cause signal reflections, data errors, and unreliable lighting performance in longer DMX runs or complex lighting networks. For occasional short DMX connections it may work, but dedicated DMX cables ensure proper signal integrity and prevent costly lighting failures during shows.
