The SATRXL-M2 Purple patch cable connects professional mixing consoles with XLR outputs to rack gear, amplifiers, and processors with 1/4" TRS inputs. This 2-foot balanced cable handles the signal conversion between XLR and TRS formats while maintaining signal integrity throughout your audio chain.

This patch cable carries balanced audio signals from mixers to equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and power amplifiers. The XLR male connector locks securely into console outputs, while the 1/4" TRS plug fits standard rack equipment inputs. Both connectors feature metal construction with high-grade fiberglass insulators for reliable connections.

The cable uses 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors with proper shielding to maintain clean signal transmission. The heavy-duty rubber jacket provides flexibility for tight rack installations while protecting the internal wiring. At 2 feet long, this cable works well for short connections within equipment racks or between nearby units on your mixing station.

Use this cable to connect your mixer's aux sends to outboard processors, route signals from console outputs to amplifier inputs, or patch between different rack-mounted devices. The purple jacket helps with color-coded organization in complex setups where multiple signal paths need visual identification.

The cable comes ready to use with no additional adapters needed. Seismic Audio backs this patch cable with a one-year warranty and ships fast to get your connections sorted quickly.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects mixing console XLR outputs to rack equipment with 1/4" TRS inputs, such as equalizers, compressors, crossovers, and power amplifiers. It's designed for balanced audio connections where you need to adapt between XLR and TRS connector formats in professional audio setups.

Will this cable work for microphone connections?

No, this cable has an XLR male connector on one end, which means it's designed to carry signals out of equipment, not into it. Microphones require XLR female connectors on the cable. This cable is specifically for connecting mixer outputs to other gear.

How long should my patch cables be for a standard equipment rack?

Two feet works well for most rack connections and short patches between nearby equipment. This length minimizes signal path distance while providing enough slack for clean cable management. For connections within the same rack or between adjacent units, 2 feet prevents excess cable clutter.

Is this a balanced or unbalanced cable?

This is a balanced cable. Both XLR and TRS connections carry balanced signals with separate conductors for positive, negative, and ground. This balanced design helps reject noise and interference, making it suitable for professional audio applications where signal quality matters.

Can I use this cable to connect a mixer to powered speakers?

It depends on your speaker's input connectors. If your powered speakers have 1/4" TRS inputs and your mixer has XLR outputs, this cable will work. However, many powered speakers use XLR inputs, which would require an XLR male to XLR female cable instead.
