The SATRXL-M3 White 3' XLR Male to TRS Patch Cable connects professional mixers to equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and amplifiers when your gear uses different connector types. This balanced cable adapts XLR outputs to 1/4" TRS inputs, maintaining signal integrity across your audio chain.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and complete shielding, this cable delivers clean signal transfer without noise or interference. The heavy-duty flexible rubber jacket protects the cable during regular use, while metal XLR and TRS connectors with high-grade fiberglass insulators ensure reliable connections that won't degrade over time.

At 3 feet long, this patch cable is ideal for rack-mounted gear connections, monitor sends from mixing consoles, or adapting between different pieces of outboard processing equipment. The compact length reduces cable clutter in rack systems while providing enough reach for most studio and live sound applications. Churches running digital mixers with analog processing gear will find these essential for connecting XLR main outputs to compressor inputs or graphic EQ units.

The white color coding helps identify signal paths in complex setups. This balanced patch cable maintains proper impedance matching between professional audio components, preventing ground loops and signal degradation that can occur with unbalanced connections.

Seismic Audio backs this cable with a one-year warranty and fast shipping. Professional-grade construction at a practical price point makes this an essential connectivity solution for studios, venues, and mobile sound systems.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects mixers with XLR outputs to rack gear with 1/4" TRS inputs like equalizers, compressors, crossovers, and amplifiers. It's also used for monitor sends from digital consoles to analog processing equipment or when adapting between different connector standards in professional audio setups.

Is this cable balanced and will it work with my studio gear?

Yes, this is a fully balanced cable that maintains proper impedance and signal integrity between professional audio components. The XLR male to TRS configuration preserves balanced signal transmission, preventing ground loops and noise that can occur with unbalanced connections in studio and live sound applications.

How long should my patch cables be for rack-mounted equipment?

At 3 feet, this cable provides optimal length for most rack connections without excess cable creating clutter or signal degradation. This length reaches between adjacent rack units or from a mixer to nearby outboard gear while maintaining a clean, organized setup in studios or mobile racks.

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

This cable is designed for line-level connections between mixers and processing equipment, not for direct speaker connections. For powered speakers, you'll typically need XLR male to XLR female cables or TRS to TRS depending on your speaker inputs and mixer outputs.

What's the difference between this and an unbalanced patch cable?

This balanced cable uses three conductors (positive, negative, and ground) to cancel out interference and noise, while unbalanced cables only use two conductors. The balanced design provides cleaner signal transmission over longer runs and better rejection of electromagnetic interference in professional audio environments.
