Connect your mixing board outputs to rack-mounted processors, equalizers, and power amplifiers with these professional XLR male to TRS patch cables. The 6-pack gives you enough cables to handle a complete signal chain from mixer to processing gear and amps.

Each cable features a balanced connection design that maintains clean signal transfer between your mixer's XLR outputs and equipment with 1/4" TRS inputs. This is the standard configuration for connecting mixing consoles to outboard gear in professional audio setups.

The cables use 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors with proper shielding to prevent signal degradation across the 6-foot length. Metal XLR connectors provide secure connections to mixer outputs, while the TRS ends feature high-grade fiberglass insulators for reliable contact with rack gear inputs. The heavy-duty rubber jacket protects the internal wiring from wear and kink damage during regular setup and teardown.

Perfect for live sound engineers connecting digital mixers to graphic EQs, crossovers, and amplifiers in venues seating 100-500 people. Also ideal for studio owners linking mixing consoles to outboard compressors and processors in fixed installations. The distinctive blue color helps with cable identification in complex audio systems.

The 6-pack configuration covers most standard mixing board setups where you need to route multiple channels through processing gear. Each cable spans 6 feet, providing enough length for typical rack-to-rack connections without excess cable creating clutter.

Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty with fast shipping to get your signal chain connected properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment do these XLR to TRS cables connect?

These cables connect mixing console XLR outputs to rack-mounted processors, equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and power amplifiers with 1/4" TRS inputs. They're the standard cable for routing mixer channels through outboard gear before reaching your amplifiers. The balanced connection maintains signal quality across the processing chain.

How many cables do I need for a typical live sound setup?

Most live sound setups require 4-6 cables to connect your mixer's main outputs and auxiliary sends to processing gear. This 6-pack covers a standard configuration: left/right main outputs to a graphic EQ, monitor sends to amplifiers, and auxiliary outputs to effects processors. Larger systems may need additional cables.

Will these work for connecting mixers to powered speakers?

These cables work if your powered speakers have 1/4" TRS inputs, but many powered speakers use XLR inputs instead. Check your speaker's input panel first. If your speakers have XLR inputs, you'll need XLR male to XLR female cables. The TRS connection is primarily designed for rack-mounted processing equipment.

What's the difference between TRS and TS connections?

TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) carries balanced audio signals using three conductors, which reduces noise and interference over long cable runs. TS (tip-sleeve) connections are unbalanced and more susceptible to noise pickup. These TRS cables maintain the balanced signal from your mixer's XLR outputs, preserving audio quality through your processing chain.

Are 6-foot cables long enough for rack-to-rack connections?

Six feet provides adequate length for connecting adjacent rack units or reaching from a mixer to nearby processing gear. For installations where your mixer is more than 4-5 feet from your rack, you may need longer cables. The 6-foot length minimizes excess cable while providing flexibility for most professional audio setups.
