The SATRXL-F2 Green is a 2-foot XLR female to TRS patch cable designed for connecting mixers to rack-mounted processors like equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and power amplifiers. This balanced cable solves the common problem of interfacing equipment with different connector types in professional audio setups.

This patch cable maintains balanced audio signals between your mixer's XLR outputs and rack gear with 1/4" TRS inputs, preventing noise and signal degradation in your signal chain. The balanced design preserves audio integrity across short interconnect runs in rack systems and mixing consoles.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding, this cable delivers clean signal transfer without interference. The metal XLR female connector features reliable spring-loaded contacts, while the 1/4" TRS connector uses high-grade fiberglass insulators for durability. The heavy-duty rubber jacket withstands repeated flexing in mobile setups and permanent installations.

Perfect for connecting digital mixing consoles to analog processing gear, linking DJ mixers to power amplifiers, or integrating outboard effects into recording studio signal chains. The 2-foot length works well in tight rack spaces and tabletop setups where longer cables create clutter.

Simply connect the XLR female end to your mixer's balanced output and the TRS end to your destination equipment's input. The green jacket provides easy visual identification in complex cable runs.

Every SATRXL-F2 Green includes a one-year warranty and ships ready to use from Seismic Audio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR female to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects mixer XLR outputs to rack-mounted processors with 1/4" TRS inputs, including equalizers, crossovers, compressors, power amplifiers, and effects units. It's commonly used when your mixer has XLR balanced outputs but your destination gear only accepts 1/4" TRS connections. The cable maintains the balanced signal path for professional audio quality.

Can I use this cable to connect microphones to mixers?

No, this cable has an XLR female connector that receives signals, not a male connector that sends them. Microphones require XLR male to female cables or XLR male to TRS cables depending on your mixer's inputs. This cable is specifically designed for connecting mixer outputs to rack gear inputs.

Is 2 feet long enough for rack-mounted equipment?

Yes, 2 feet works well for most rack installations where equipment is stacked vertically or positioned on adjacent rack shelves. This length minimizes cable clutter in tight spaces while providing enough reach for typical rack gear spacing. For equipment separated by more than one rack unit or tabletop setups, consider longer cable lengths.

Does this cable work with unbalanced equipment?

While this cable will physically connect to unbalanced 1/4" inputs, you'll lose the noise-rejection benefits of balanced signals. The cable works best when both the source (mixer XLR output) and destination (rack gear TRS input) are balanced. Using it with unbalanced gear won't damage anything but may introduce noise in longer signal chains.

What's the difference between TRS and TS connections?

TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connections carry balanced signals using three conductors, while TS (tip-sleeve) connections carry unbalanced signals using two conductors. This cable's TRS connector maintains the balanced signal from your mixer's XLR output, providing better noise rejection than unbalanced connections. The ring conductor carries the inverted signal phase essential for balanced operation.
