SATRX-3 - Green 3 Foot TRS Patch Cable
The SATRX-3 Green TRS patch cable delivers professional balanced connections for studio racks, live sound rigs, and DJ setups. This 3-foot cable handles the balanced signal routing that keeps your audio chain clean and interference-free.
Built with 1/4" TRS connectors on both ends, this cable carries balanced mono signals between mixers, equalizers, compressors, effects processors, and amplifiers. The TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) design maintains signal integrity across longer cable runs and electrically noisy environments.
The cable features 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors for clean signal transmission, wrapped in a flexible rubber jacket that stands up to repeated coiling and setup. Metal TRS plugs use high-grade fiberglass insulators for reliable connections, while the shielded design prevents external interference from reaching your audio signal. At 3 feet, this cable length works well for rack-mounted gear connections and short runs between stage equipment.
Use this cable to connect your mixer's aux sends to outboard effects, link compressors and EQs in your signal chain, or route balanced signals to powered monitors. The bright green jacket makes it easy to identify balanced connections in complex setups, whether you're running a church sound system, DJ booth, or recording studio rack.
Each cable comes ready to use with TRS connectors pre-installed. Seismic Audio backs the SATRX-3 with a one-year warranty and ships direct to your door.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between TRS and TS cables?
TRS cables have three conductors (tip-ring-sleeve) and carry balanced mono signals or stereo signals, while TS cables have two conductors and carry unbalanced mono signals. For connecting professional audio gear like mixers, compressors, and effects units, TRS cables provide better noise rejection and signal quality over longer runs.
Can I use this cable to connect my mixer to powered speakers?
This depends on your mixer's outputs and speaker inputs. If both have 1/4" TRS balanced connections, yes. However, many powered speakers use XLR inputs for balanced signals, in which case you'd need an XLR-to-TRS cable instead. Check your gear's input/output specifications before ordering.
Is 3 feet long enough for rack equipment connections?
Yes, 3 feet works well for connecting gear within the same rack or adjacent racks. This length prevents excess cable clutter while providing enough reach for most rack configurations. For longer runs between separate rack cases or across a room, consider the longer versions of this cable.
Will this work for guitar effects pedals?
Most guitar effects pedals use unbalanced TS connections, not balanced TRS. While this cable will physically connect, you're paying for balanced capabilities you won't use. Standard guitar patch cables with TS connectors are the better choice for pedal boards.
Why choose green over other cable colors?
Green cables help you identify balanced signal paths in complex setups. Many engineers use color coding - green for balanced connections, red for unbalanced, blue for sends, etc. This makes troubleshooting faster and prevents connection mistakes during live events or recording sessions.
