The SA-PXLR1BK is a 1-foot XLR extension cable designed for live sound engineers, recording studios, and mobile performers who need reliable signal routing in tight spaces. This compact patch cable handles short-distance connections between mixers, preamps, and other pro audio gear without the bulk of longer cables.

Built with balanced 3-pin XLR connectors, this cable maintains clean signal transmission for microphones, line-level sources, and DMX lighting control. The 22-gauge conductors deliver dependable performance whether you're patching a vocal mic through a preamp or extending a DMX signal to lighting fixtures.

Gold-plated XLR connectors resist corrosion and ensure solid connections that won't degrade over time. The flexible rubber jacket withstands regular setup and teardown, while heavy-duty strain relief protects the connection points from damage. At just 1 foot long, this cable eliminates excess length that can create clutter in equipment racks or mixing positions.

Perfect for connecting outboard gear in studio racks, patching microphones through preamps at live venues, or creating short DMX runs between lighting controllers and fixtures. The compact length works well in broadcast booths, podcast setups, and mobile DJ rigs where space is limited.

This extension cable features standard 3-pin XLR male to XLR female connections that work with any balanced audio or DMX equipment. Each cable includes Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and ships ready to integrate into your existing setup.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What audio equipment can I connect with this 1-foot XLR cable?

This cable works with any gear that has 3-pin XLR connections, including microphones, mixing consoles, audio interfaces, preamps, compressors, and equalizers. It's also compatible with DMX lighting controllers and fixtures. The balanced design makes it suitable for both microphone-level and line-level signals.

Is 1 foot long enough for typical studio rack connections?

Yes, 1 foot is ideal for connecting adjacent rack units or patching gear within the same equipment rack. This length eliminates cable clutter while providing enough flexibility for standard rack spacing. For connections between separate racks or across a room, you'll need longer cables.

Can I use this cable to extend a microphone cable?

Absolutely. This XLR extension cable can extend any microphone cable or connect directly between a microphone and mixing console. The balanced, shielded design maintains signal quality, and the gold-plated connectors ensure reliable connections during live performances and recording sessions.

Will this cable work with DMX lighting systems?

Yes, this cable is fully compatible with DMX512 lighting control systems. Use it to connect DMX controllers to lighting fixtures or to extend DMX signal chains. The same 3-pin XLR connections used for audio also carry DMX control signals for professional lighting applications.

How does the build quality compare to cheaper XLR cables?

This premium cable features gold-plated connectors that resist corrosion, heavy-duty strain relief that prevents connector damage, and balanced shielding that reduces noise interference. The flexible rubber jacket withstands repeated use better than basic PVC cables, making it more reliable for professional applications where failure isn't an option.
