The SATRXL-F2 White connects mixers to rack gear when your console has XLR outputs but your compressors, EQs, or amplifiers use 1/4" TRS inputs. This 2-foot patch cable handles the format conversion while maintaining balanced signal integrity.

The cable features a metal 3-pin XLR female connector on one end and a 1/4" TRS male connector with fiberglass insulators on the other. The balanced design preserves your signal quality when routing audio between different rack components in your PA system setup.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding, this cable delivers clean signal transfer without added noise. The heavy-duty rubber jacket provides flexibility for tight rack installations while protecting the internal wiring from repeated flexing and environmental wear.

Perfect for connecting digital mixers to outboard processors, linking console outputs to power amplifier inputs, or adapting between XLR and TRS connections in church sound systems and live performance rigs. The compact 2-foot length keeps rack connections tidy without excess cable clutter.

Use this cable to bridge the gap between XLR and TRS equipment in your signal chain. The balanced connection maintains professional audio standards whether you're running a small venue PA system or connecting studio monitors to your mixing console.

Seismic Audio backs this patch cable with a one-year warranty and ships it ready to use in your next gig or installation.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects mixers or audio interfaces with XLR outputs to rack gear with 1/4" TRS inputs, such as compressors, equalizers, crossovers, or power amplifiers. It's commonly used when your mixing console has XLR main outputs but your amplifier or processor requires TRS connections. The balanced design maintains signal integrity across different connector formats.

Is this cable balanced and will it work with my professional audio setup?

Yes, this is a fully balanced cable that maintains the three-conductor signal path from XLR to TRS connections. Both connectors support balanced operation, so you'll preserve the noise rejection and signal quality that professional audio systems require. The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and shielding ensure clean signal transfer.

How long should my patch cables be for rack installations?

The 2-foot length is ideal for most rack-mounted equipment connections, providing enough reach between adjacent rack units without creating cable clutter. This length works well for connecting mixers to processors, interfaces to monitors, or any rack gear within the same cabinet. Longer cables can introduce unnecessary slack and potential noise in compact setups.

Can I use this cable to connect my mixer directly to powered speakers?

No, this cable is designed for line-level connections between professional audio equipment, not for connecting mixers directly to powered speakers. Most powered speakers use XLR or 1/4" inputs and expect line-level signals. This cable works best for rack-to-rack connections or console-to-processor links in your signal chain.

Will this cable work with both studio monitors and live PA equipment?

Yes, this XLR female to TRS male cable works with any balanced audio equipment using these connector types, whether in studio or live applications. It's commonly used to connect audio interfaces to studio monitors, mixers to rack processors, or console outputs to amplifier inputs in PA systems.
