Professional-grade XLR patch cables designed for live sound engineers, DJ setups, and permanent installations where clean signal routing matters. The SAXLX-2 White 6-Pack delivers reliable balanced connections for rack-mounted gear, mixing consoles, and processing equipment.

These 2-foot XLR cables handle balanced audio signals between mixers, equalizers, crossovers, amplifiers, and other pro audio equipment. The short length minimizes signal path while keeping your rack setup organized and professional-looking.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and shielded construction, these cables maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Metal 3-pin XLR connectors (male to female) provide secure connections that won't work loose during transport or extended use. The heavy-duty rubber jacket protects the cable from wear while remaining flexible enough for tight rack spaces.

Perfect for musicians, DJs, churches, schools, recording studios, and broadcasters. These cables work for connecting outboard processing gear in recording studios, linking components in DJ booth setups, or creating custom signal paths in installed sound systems. The white color coding helps identify specific signal routes in complex installations, while the 2-foot length works well for adjacent rack units or nearby console connections.

Each cable features male XLR to female XLR configuration, ready to connect microphones, DI boxes, or create extension runs for existing XLR cables. The female connector attaches to your source output and the male connector attaches to your destination input. The 6-pack provides enough cables to wire a complete signal chain or keep spares on hand.

Seismic Audio backs these patch cables with a one-year warranty and ships them ready to use out of the box.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment can I connect with these XLR patch cables?

These cables work with any professional audio equipment that uses balanced XLR connections, including mixing consoles, equalizers, compressors, crossovers, amplifiers, audio interfaces, and powered speakers. They're also suitable for extending microphone cables or connecting DI boxes to mixing boards.

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

The 2-foot length minimizes signal path and reduces cable clutter in rack installations where equipment is mounted in adjacent units. Shorter cables also reduce the chance of picking up interference and make it easier to identify specific connections during troubleshooting or system changes.

Can these cables be used for DMX lighting control?

While these XLR cables physically connect to DMX lighting equipment, there are important technical differences to consider. DMX requires 120-ohm impedance cables for proper signal transmission, while audio XLR cables typically use 75-ohm impedance. This impedance mismatch can cause signal reflections, data errors, and unreliable lighting control, especially over longer cable runs or in complex DMX networks. For short runs or temporary setups, audio XLR cables may work, but dedicated DMX cables are recommended for professional lighting installations to ensure reliable performance and prevent data corruption.

How does the white color help in professional installations?

White cables provide visual contrast against black rack equipment and can be used as part of a color-coding system to identify specific signal paths. Many engineers use white for main mix signals, effects sends, or monitor feeds to quickly trace connections during live events or studio sessions.

Will these cables work with both low-impedance microphones and line-level signals?

Yes, these balanced XLR cables handle both microphone-level signals (typically -60 to -40 dBu) and line-level signals (typically -10 to +4 dBu). The shielded construction and oxygen-free copper conductors maintain signal quality regardless of whether you're connecting microphones or line-level equipment like outboard processors.
