The SAXLX-10-Multi 8-pack delivers professional XLR patch cables in eight distinct colors for musicians, DJs, content creators, schools, recording studios, and broadcasters who need organized signal routing. Each 10-foot cable features color-coded organization that eliminates confusion during setup and troubleshooting.

These balanced XLR cables handle professional audio signals between mixers, amplifiers, equalizers, crossovers, and other pro audio gear. The female connector attaches to your source output and the male connector attaches to your destination input, providing standard patch bay connections, microphone extensions, and professional audio routing.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and professional shielding, each cable maintains signal integrity across the full audio spectrum. The balanced design prevents ground loops and noise interference common in complex audio systems. Each cable weighs just 0.36 pounds, making cable runs manageable even in extensive setups.

Perfect for permanent installations in churches, theaters, and recording studios where color-coded signal paths simplify maintenance and modifications. Mobile DJ setups benefit from quick identification during tear-down, while recording studios use the color system to organize complex patch bay routing. The 10-foot length handles most rack-to-rack connections and stage monitor feeds.

The pack includes eight cables in black, blue, green, orange, red, yellow, purple, and white. Standard 3-pin XLR connectors fit all professional audio equipment.

Seismic Audio backs each cable with a one-year warranty and ships nationwide. Professional-grade construction at a practical price point for working audio professionals.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between these XLR patch cables and microphone cables?

These are identical to microphone cables in construction and performance. The only difference is the marketing focus—patch cables emphasize studio and venue routing applications, while microphone cables emphasize stage use. Both feature the same balanced, shielded design with 3-pin XLR connectors.

Can I use these XLR cables for DMX lighting control?

While these cables physically connect to DMX equipment and will transmit lighting signals, there are important technical considerations. XLR audio cables have 75-ohm impedance while DMX512 standard specifies 120-ohm impedance. This impedance mismatch can cause signal reflections, data errors, and unreliable performance, especially in longer cable runs or complex lighting networks. For critical DMX applications, dedicated DMX cables with proper 120-ohm impedance provide more reliable data transmission. However, many lighting professionals use XLR audio cables for short runs and simple setups where the impedance mismatch is less problematic.

How do the different colors help in professional audio setups?

Color coding eliminates guesswork during installation and troubleshooting. Assign specific colors to different signal types—red for vocals, blue for instruments, green for monitors—or use colors to identify different zones. This organization saves significant time during setup changes and system maintenance.

Are 10-foot cables long enough for most rack connections?

Ten feet handles the majority of rack-to-rack connections, mixer outputs to amplifier inputs, and short equipment runs. For longer distances between equipment racks or stage connections, you'll want 25-foot or 50-foot cables. Most professional audio racks space equipment within 6-8 feet of each other.

Do these cables work with phantom power for condenser microphones?

Yes, these balanced XLR cables safely carry phantom power from mixing consoles to condenser microphones. The balanced design and proper shielding prevent phantom power from causing interference or damage to connected equipment. They handle standard 48V phantom power without any issues.
