Professional XLR patch cables designed for musicians, DJs, sound engineers, broadcasters, churches, and recording studios who need reliable short-run connections in their rack systems and stage setups. The SAXLX-2 6-pack delivers consistent balanced audio transmission for critical signal paths.

Each 2-foot cable features metal 3-pin XLR connectors (male to female) that lock securely into mixers, processors, and amplifiers. The female connector attaches to your source output and the male connector attaches to your destination input. The balanced design maintains signal integrity across short distances while the heavy-duty flexible rubber jacket withstands repeated coiling and transport.

These cables use 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors with shielding to protect your audio signals from interference. At 2 feet, they're perfectly sized for rack-mounted equipment connections, console patch bays, and tight stage setups where longer cables create unnecessary clutter.

Sound engineers rely on these for connecting mixers to equalizers, crossovers to amplifiers, and processors to distribution systems. They work equally well for microphone connections in broadcast studios. The gray finish blends professionally with most equipment racks.

Each cable terminates with locking XLR connectors that mate securely with standard 3-pin XLR inputs and outputs. The 6-pack provides enough cables to handle a complete rack system or multiple stage connections.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What are XLR patch cables used for in live sound systems?

XLR patch cables connect balanced audio equipment like mixers, equalizers, crossovers, and amplifiers. These 2-foot cables are ideal for rack-mounted gear where you need short, clean connections between processors. They also work for microphone connections in broadcast studios and recording environments.

Can I use these cables for microphones or just equipment connections?

Yes, these XLR cables work for both equipment patching and microphone connections. The balanced 3-pin XLR design carries mic-level and line-level signals equally well. Many engineers keep short XLR cables like these for close-mic situations or when connecting mics to nearby preamps.

Why choose 2-foot cables instead of longer ones for equipment racks?

Two-foot cables reduce clutter and signal path length in equipment racks. Longer cables create excess wire that must be coiled or managed, potentially causing interference or making troubleshooting difficult. Short cables also minimize the chance of accidentally disconnecting gear during transport.

Can these cables work with DMX lighting systems?

While these XLR cables physically connect to DMX equipment since both use 3-pin XLR connectors, there are important technical considerations. Audio XLR cables like these have 75-ohm impedance, while DMX systems require 120-ohm impedance for proper signal transmission. Using audio cables for DMX may work for short runs but can cause signal degradation, data errors, or system instability over longer distances. For critical lighting applications, dedicated DMX cables are recommended.
