SATRXL-M3 - 6 Pack of Purple 3' XLR Male to TRS Patch Cables
The SATRXL-M3 Purple 6-pack delivers six matching 3-foot XLR male to TRS patch cables for professional audio setups requiring consistent signal routing. These balanced interconnects handle the critical connections between mixers, equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and amplifiers in live sound and studio applications.
Each cable features a metal 3-pin XLR male connector on one end and a metal 1/4" TRS connector with high-grade fiberglass insulators on the other. The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors maintain signal integrity across the full audio spectrum, while individual cable shielding prevents interference in dense signal environments.
The heavy-duty flexible rubber jacket withstands the rigors of regular setup and teardown, making these cables suitable for touring musicians, mobile DJs, and permanent installations alike. At 3 feet, they're ideal for rack-to-rack connections in equipment bays or short runs between stage gear and front-of-house mixing positions.
Common applications include connecting digital mixers with XLR outputs to power amplifiers with TRS inputs, routing signals from crossovers to multi-zone amplifier systems, and interfacing outboard processors in professional audio racks. The purple color coding helps identify specific signal paths in complex setups where multiple cable runs are required.
Each cable comes with Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and ships ready for immediate deployment in your audio system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between XLR to TRS and XLR to TS cables?
XLR to TRS cables carry balanced signals with hot, cold, and ground connections, providing better noise rejection over longer runs. TRS cables are ideal for connecting mixers to power amplifiers, crossovers, and other professional gear that uses balanced inputs. TS cables are unbalanced and typically used for instrument-level connections.
Can I use these cables to connect my mixer directly to powered speakers?
These cables work if your mixer has XLR outputs and your powered speakers have TRS inputs, but most powered speakers use XLR inputs. Check your equipment specifications first, as you may need standard XLR male-to-female cables instead of XLR-to-TRS connections.
How many cables do I need for a typical live sound setup?
For a basic stereo PA system, you'll need two cables minimum for left and right channels from mixer to amplifier. Larger systems with crossovers, multiple amplifier zones, or outboard processing may require 4-8 cables. This 6-pack covers most small to medium venue requirements.
What's the maximum distance I should run these 3-foot cables?
At 3 feet, these are designed for short rack-to-rack connections or nearby equipment interfacing. For longer runs between front-of-house and stage, consider 25-50 foot versions. The balanced design maintains signal quality, but keep cable runs as short as practical for your setup.
Will the purple color affect audio quality or durability?
The purple jacket is purely cosmetic and doesn't impact audio performance or cable lifespan. Colored cables help with signal flow identification in complex setups where you're running multiple audio paths. The rubber compound and internal construction remain identical across all Seismic Audio cable colors.
