The SATRXL-F6 White is a 6-foot balanced patch cable designed for live sound engineers, studio owners, and mobile performers who need reliable connections between professional audio gear. This cable bridges XLR and TRS connections that are standard across mixing consoles, outboard processors, and amplifiers.

This balanced patch cable delivers clean signal transfer between mixers and rack-mounted equipment like equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and power amplifiers. The balanced design maintains signal integrity over the 6-foot run, making it ideal for connecting gear within equipment racks or short console-to-outboard runs.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding, this cable handles professional signal levels without degradation. The metal XLR female connector and metal 1/4" TRS connector feature high-grade fiberglass insulators for reliable long-term performance. The heavy-duty flexible rubber jacket protects the cable during regular handling and coiling.

Perfect for connecting mixing consoles to external processors in live venues, recording studios, or mobile DJ setups. Works equally well for connecting rack gear in houses of worship, school auditoriums, or rental company inventories where dependable patch cables are essential for quick system deployment.

The cable arrives ready to use with XLR female on one end and 1/4" TRS male on the other. The distinctive white jacket makes cable identification easier in complex audio systems. Seismic Audio backs this patch cable with a one-year warranty and ships direct to keep your audio connections reliable and affordable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR female to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects mixing consoles with TRS outputs to rack gear with XLR inputs, or vice versa. Common connections include mixer sends to external reverbs, compressors, or equalizers, and returns from outboard processors back to the console. It's also used to connect audio interfaces to studio monitors or connect certain microphone preamps to mixing boards.

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

Yes, this is a fully balanced cable using XLR and TRS connections that maintain proper signal integrity for professional applications. The balanced design rejects noise and interference that can plague unbalanced connections, making it suitable for live sound, studio recording, and installed sound systems where clean audio transfer is critical.

How long is this cable and is 6 feet sufficient for rack connections?

At 6 feet, this cable is ideal for connecting equipment within the same rack or adjacent racks, console patch bays, or short runs between a mixer and nearby outboard gear. For longer runs between equipment rooms or front-of-house to stage connections, you'll need longer cable runs, but 6 feet covers most typical rack-to-rack and console patch scenarios.

Will this work to connect my mixer to my powered speakers?

This cable is designed for line-level connections between mixers and processors, not for connecting mixers directly to powered speakers. Most powered speakers use XLR male inputs, while this cable has XLR female. For mixer-to-powered-speaker connections, you typically need XLR male to XLR male cables or TRS to XLR male cables depending on your mixer's outputs.

What's the difference between this and a standard XLR microphone cable?

While both use XLR connectors, this cable has TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) on one end instead of XLR male, making it specifically for connecting line-level equipment rather than microphones. Microphone cables are XLR male to XLR female, while this patch cable adapts between the XLR and TRS connector formats commonly found on different pieces of professional audio gear.
