SATRXL-M3 - 6 Pack of Black 3' XLR Male to TRS Patch Cables
The SATRXL-M3 6-pack provides essential balanced XLR male to TRS patch cables for connecting professional audio gear in your rack or live sound setup. These 3-foot cables bridge the gap between mixers, equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and amplifiers when your gear uses different connector types.
Each cable delivers balanced signal transmission through 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, maintaining signal integrity across your audio chain. The metal XLR male connector locks securely into mixer outputs, while the metal TRS connector with fiberglass insulators provides reliable connection to rack processors and amplifiers.
Built for professional use, these cables feature heavy-duty flexible rubber jackets that resist kinking and damage during setup and teardown. The shielded design prevents noise interference in dense signal environments. At 3 feet long, they're sized for typical rack spacing and mixer-to-processor connections without excess cable clutter.
Perfect for live sound engineers connecting their mixing console to outboard gear, studio engineers patching between rack units, or venue sound systems where mixers and amplifiers use different connector standards. These cables handle everything from small club systems to festival production rigs where reliable signal paths are critical.
The 6-pack format provides multiple connections for stereo processing chains or multi-zone systems. Each cable comes ready to use with professional-grade connectors that withstand repeated plugging and unplugging.
Seismic Audio backs these patch cables with a one-year warranty and ships them ready for immediate use in your audio system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment do these XLR to TRS cables connect?
These cables connect mixing consoles with XLR outputs to rack-mounted processors like equalizers, compressors, crossovers, and amplifiers that have TRS inputs. They're commonly used in live sound systems where the mixer sends balanced signals to outboard gear before reaching power amplifiers.
Are these cables balanced and do they maintain signal quality?
Yes, these are balanced cables that maintain professional signal integrity throughout your audio chain. The XLR male to TRS configuration preserves the balanced signal path, and the 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors ensure clean signal transmission without degradation over the 3-foot length.
How many cables do I need for a stereo system setup?
For stereo processing, you'll need two cables minimum - one for left channel and one for right channel from your mixer to your processor or amplifier. This 6-pack provides enough cables for three stereo connections or six mono connections, making it ideal for multi-zone systems or complex signal routing.
Will these work with my powered speakers that have TRS inputs?
Yes, if your powered speakers accept TRS inputs for balanced signals, these cables will connect directly from your mixer's XLR outputs to the speaker inputs. However, check your speaker manual - some powered speakers use XLR inputs instead, which would require XLR to XLR cables.
What's the difference between TRS and TS connections for this application?
TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connections carry balanced signals with hot, cold, and ground connections, providing better noise rejection than TS (tip-sleeve) unbalanced connections. These TRS cables maintain the balanced signal from your XLR source, which is crucial for professional audio applications and longer cable runs.
