The SATRXL-M2 provides the essential connection between XLR and TRS gear in your rack or mixing setup. This 2-foot balanced cable bridges mixers, equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and amplifiers when your signal path requires different connector types.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding, this cable maintains signal integrity across your balanced connections. The metal XLR male connector and metal 1/4" TRS plug feature high-grade fiberglass insulators for reliable long-term performance.

The heavy-duty flexible rubber jacket protects the cable during setup and breakdown while remaining pliable in tight rack spaces. At 2 feet, this length works perfectly for rack-to-rack connections without excess cable cluttering your signal path. The bright yellow jacket provides instant visual identification in complex setups.

Essential for live sound engineers connecting outboard gear, this cable handles the balanced signal routing between professional mixing consoles and rack-mounted processors. Whether you're patching a graphic EQ into your monitor sends or connecting a compressor to your main mix bus, this adapter cable solves the XLR-to-TRS connectivity challenge.

Connects any XLR output to any 1/4" TRS input with balanced signal transmission. No additional cables or adapters required.

Seismic Audio backs this patch cable with a one-year warranty and ships it ready to use straight from the package.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this cable connect?

This cable connects any device with an XLR output to equipment with a 1/4" TRS input. Common applications include connecting mixing consoles to graphic equalizers, compressors, crossovers, or amplifiers. It's essential when your mixer has XLR outputs but your rack gear uses TRS inputs.

Is this cable balanced and will it work with professional audio gear?

Yes, this is a fully balanced cable using the standard XLR and TRS wiring configuration. The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and shielding maintain signal integrity for professional applications. It works with any balanced audio equipment operating at line level.

What's the difference between this cable and an unbalanced 1/4" cable?

This cable maintains the balanced signal path using TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connections, which provides better noise rejection over longer runs compared to unbalanced TS cables. The XLR to TRS configuration is specifically designed for professional balanced audio equipment, not instrument or unbalanced consumer gear.

Can I use this cable to connect microphones directly to my mixer?

No, this cable is designed for line-level signals between professional audio equipment. Microphones require mic-level signals and typically use XLR-to-XLR connections. This cable is for connecting line outputs from mixers to line inputs on processors or amplifiers.

Why choose a 2-foot length for rack connections?

The 2-foot length provides enough reach for most rack-to-rack connections without creating cable clutter in tight spaces. This length works well for adjacent rack units or connecting equipment within the same rack case while avoiding the signal degradation that can occur with unnecessarily long cable runs.
