Professional patch cables designed for connecting mixers to equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and amplifiers in live sound and studio environments. When your rack gear uses different connector types, these XLR male to TRS male cables bridge the gap without signal degradation.

Each 25-foot cable delivers balanced audio transmission between professional mixing consoles and outboard processing gear. The heavy-duty flexible rubber jacket withstands repeated setup and teardown while maintaining signal integrity throughout your entire signal chain.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding to prevent interference in electrically noisy environments. The robust metal XLR and TRS connectors provide secure connections that won't fail mid-performance. At 25 feet per cable, you get the reach needed for most rack-to-mixer configurations without excess cable cluttering your setup.

Perfect for live sound engineers running processing gear between FOH mixers and power amplifiers, or studio professionals connecting outboard compressors and EQs to mixing boards. These cables handle everything from small club rigs to festival-scale productions where reliable signal routing is non-negotiable.

The orange jacket provides easy visual identification in complex cable runs, helping you trace signal paths quickly during setup or troubleshooting. All six cables arrive ready to use with no additional adapters required.

Seismic Audio backs these professional patch cables with a full one-year warranty and ships them fast so your next gig stays on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between XLR to TRS and XLR to TS cables?

XLR to TRS cables carry balanced signals with better noise rejection over long runs, while XLR to TS cables carry unbalanced signals. Use TRS connections when connecting to balanced inputs on equalizers, compressors, or amplifiers. The balanced connection reduces hum and interference, especially important in live sound applications with long cable runs and electrical noise from lighting systems.

Can I use these cables to connect my mixer directly to powered speakers?

These cables work if your powered speakers have balanced TRS inputs, but most powered PA speakers use XLR inputs. Check your speaker's input panel first – if it has XLR inputs, you'll need XLR to XLR cables instead. These XLR to TRS cables are specifically designed for connecting mixers to rack-mounted processors or amplifiers with TRS inputs.

How much signal loss should I expect with 25-foot cables?

Professional balanced cables like these maintain signal integrity over 25 feet with negligible loss. The oxygen-free copper conductors and proper shielding ensure clean signal transmission from mixer to outboard gear. You'll experience no noticeable volume drop or frequency response changes that would affect your mix quality.

Do I need all six cables for a typical live sound setup?

Most live sound rigs use 2-4 of these cables for essential connections like mixer to graphic EQ, crossover, or compressor. Having six cables gives you flexibility for complex routing or backup cables when one fails. Churches and venues with permanent installations often use all six for connecting multiple processing units in their signal chain.

Will these cables work with semi-pro gear that has unbalanced TRS inputs?

Yes, these balanced cables work fine with unbalanced TRS inputs – the signal simply runs unbalanced from the TRS end while maintaining the benefits of the balanced XLR connection from your mixer. However, you lose the noise rejection advantage of balanced transmission, so keep cable runs as short as possible when connecting to unbalanced gear.
