Connect your mixing console, audio interface, or rack gear to professional equipment with these six yellow 2-foot XLR male to TRS patch cables. Perfect for live sound engineers, studio professionals, and venue techs who need reliable balanced connections between different pieces of gear.

These cables bridge the gap when your mixer has XLR outputs but your amplifier, equalizer, or processor uses 1/4" TRS inputs. The balanced design maintains signal integrity across the connection, while the 2-foot length keeps your rack setup clean without excess cable clutter.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding for clean signal transfer. Metal XLR connectors feature robust 3-pin construction, while the 1/4" TRS plugs use high-grade fiberglass insulators for durability. The heavy-duty rubber jacket protects the cable during setup, breakdown, and transport.

Use these for connecting mixers to power amplifiers in small to medium venues, patching outboard gear in your studio rack, or linking DJ mixers to powered speakers with TRS inputs. They work equally well for permanent installations in churches or schools and mobile setups for bands and DJs.

Each cable measures exactly 2 feet and comes ready to use. The bright yellow jacket makes signal tracing easy in complex setups and helps prevent accidental disconnection during performance.

All Seismic Audio cables include a one-year warranty and ship fast. Professional-grade construction at a price that makes sense for working musicians and sound professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment do these XLR to TRS cables connect?

These cables connect gear with XLR outputs to equipment with 1/4" TRS inputs. Common uses include connecting mixing console outputs to power amplifier inputs, linking audio interfaces to studio monitors, or patching outboard processors like equalizers and compressors into your signal chain. They're essential when your source has XLR but your destination uses TRS connections.

Why choose 2-foot cables over longer lengths for rack connections?

Two-foot cables are ideal for rack-mounted equipment and desktop studio setups where you need clean, organized connections without excess cable. Shorter lengths reduce signal degradation, minimize cable clutter behind your rack, and make troubleshooting easier. For connections between separate pieces of equipment more than 2 feet apart, consider longer cable options.

Can I use these cables for microphone connections?

No, these cables won't work for microphones. Microphones typically use XLR female connectors, while these cables have XLR male connectors. These are specifically designed for line-level connections between professional audio equipment, not for microphone-to-mixer connections which require XLR male to XLR female cables.

Do these maintain balanced audio signals?

Yes, these cables preserve balanced audio signals from XLR outputs to TRS inputs. Both connector types support balanced connections, which helps reject noise and interference over the cable run. This makes them suitable for professional applications where signal integrity is important, such as live sound reinforcement and studio recording.

What's the difference between TRS and TS connections?

TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connectors have three conductors and support balanced signals, while TS (tip-sleeve) connectors have two conductors and carry unbalanced signals. These cables use TRS connectors to maintain the balanced signal from your XLR source. Using them with TS inputs will work but converts the signal to unbalanced, potentially reducing noise rejection.
