The SATRXL-F25 is a 25-foot balanced patch cable designed for live sound engineers and studio professionals who need to connect mixers to outboard gear like equalizers, compressors, and amplifiers. This cable bridges the gap when your mixer has XLR outputs but your rack gear uses 1/4" TRS inputs.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, this cable maintains signal integrity across its 25-foot length while rejecting interference. The balanced design ensures clean audio transmission without noise pickup, making it essential for professional audio routing in live venues and recording environments.

The heavy-duty rubber jacket protects the cable during transport and setup, while the metal XLR female and 1/4" TRS male connectors provide secure, reliable connections. At 25 feet, this cable gives you the flexibility to position rack gear away from your mixing position or connect front-of-house mixers to amplifier racks.

Perfect for connecting digital mixers to graphic EQs in church sound systems, routing compressors in live band setups, or linking crossovers to power amplifiers in DJ rigs. The bright yellow jacket makes cable identification easy in complex setups and low-light venues.

Simply connect the XLR end to your mixer's balanced output and the TRS end to your rack gear's input. The cable is ready to use out of the box with no adapters needed.

Seismic Audio backs this patch cable with a one-year warranty. Ships fast so you can complete your rig without delays.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this cable connect?

This cable connects mixers with XLR outputs to rack gear with 1/4" TRS inputs, such as equalizers, compressors, crossovers, and amplifiers. It's commonly used to route signals from digital mixing consoles to outboard processing equipment. The balanced design maintains professional audio quality over the 25-foot length.

Is this cable balanced and why does that matter?

Yes, this is a balanced cable using XLR female to TRS male connections. Balanced cables reject noise and interference much better than unbalanced cables, which is crucial when running long cable runs or in electrically noisy environments. This ensures your audio signal stays clean from mixer to processor.

Can I use this cable for microphones?

No, this cable won't work for microphones since it has an XLR female connector, and microphones need XLR male connectors. This cable is specifically designed for line-level signals between mixing boards and rack-mounted audio processors. For microphones, you need standard XLR male to XLR female microphone cables.

How long can I run this cable without signal loss?

At 25 feet with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, this cable maintains excellent signal integrity for professional line-level audio. The balanced design further reduces noise pickup over this distance. For longer runs beyond 25 feet, consider using multiple shorter cables or active signal processing.

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 are unbalanced with two conductors. This cable's TRS connection matches professional rack gear that requires balanced inputs. Using TRS maintains the balanced signal path from your mixer through your entire signal chain.
