The SATRXL-M25 is a 25-foot balanced patch cable designed for live sound engineers and studio professionals who need to connect XLR output gear to TRS input devices. This purple cable bridges the gap when your mixer outputs XLR but your rack-mounted equalizer, compressor, or amplifier requires a 1/4" TRS input.

This balanced cable maintains signal integrity over its 25-foot length, making it ideal for connecting mixing consoles to outboard processors in both live and studio environments. The XLR male to 1/4" TRS male configuration handles balanced audio signals, ensuring clean sound transmission without ground loops or noise issues.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding, this cable delivers reliable performance in demanding audio environments. The heavy-duty flexible rubber jacket protects the internal wiring from wear and tear during regular setup and teardown. The distinctive purple color coding helps with cable management in complex audio rigs.

Perfect for connecting digital mixers to analog outboard gear, linking studio monitors to audio interfaces, or running balanced signals to powered speakers in venues up to medium-sized clubs and theaters. The 25-foot length provides flexibility for rack-to-stage connections or studio control room to live room runs.

Simply connect the XLR male end to your source device and the TRS end to your destination gear. No adapters needed – this cable handles the connection directly. Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty with fast shipping nationwide.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects devices with XLR male outputs to equipment with 1/4" TRS inputs. Common uses include connecting mixing console outputs to equalizers, compressors, crossovers, or amplifier inputs. It's also useful for studio applications like connecting audio interfaces to monitor controllers or outboard processors.

Is this cable balanced and will it work for professional audio?

Yes, this is a fully balanced cable using XLR and TRS connections with proper pin configuration. The balanced design eliminates ground loops and reduces noise, making it suitable for professional live sound and studio applications. The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors ensure reliable signal transmission.

How long can I run this cable without signal loss?

At 25 feet, this cable length is well within the acceptable range for balanced audio connections without noticeable signal degradation. Balanced connections can typically run much longer distances than unbalanced cables, and 25 feet is ideal for most live sound and studio setups without requiring signal boosters.

What's the difference between this and a regular 1/4" to 1/4" cable?

This XLR to TRS cable connects different connector types while maintaining balanced operation, whereas a 1/4" to 1/4" cable connects the same connector types. Many professional mixers output XLR while rack gear inputs TRS, making this cable essential for proper system integration without adapters.

Can I use this cable to connect microphones to mixers?

No, this cable has XLR male on one end, which won't connect to microphones that also have XLR male outputs. Microphones require XLR female connections. This cable is specifically designed to connect line-level equipment outputs to rack-mounted processors or amplifiers, not for microphone signals.
