Connect balanced XLR outputs to TRS inputs with this 6-pack of red 3-foot patch cables. Essential for studio engineers, live sound technicians, and anyone routing signals between professional audio gear with different connector types.

These balanced cables handle the connection between mixers, equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and amplifiers when your gear uses mixed XLR and TRS connections. The 3-foot length provides clean, direct routing in tight rack spaces without excess cable clutter.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and shielded construction to maintain signal integrity across your audio chain. Metal XLR male connectors lock securely into mixing consoles and outboard gear, while the TRS end features high-grade fiberglass insulators for reliable connection to rack processors. Heavy-duty rubber jacket protects the cable during repeated studio use and live applications.

Perfect for connecting mixing console outputs to external compressors, routing mixer sends to rack-mounted reverbs, or linking crossover outputs to power amplifiers. The red color coding helps identify specific signal paths in complex setups - useful for FOH engineers managing multiple processing chains or studio engineers tracking different mix buses.

Each cable measures exactly 3 feet and comes ready to use. The 6-pack quantity covers typical rack routing needs for small to medium mixing setups.

Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty with fast shipping. Professional-grade build quality at a price point that makes sense for working engineers.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

XLR to TRS cables carry balanced signals, maintaining better signal integrity over longer runs and rejecting noise better than unbalanced connections. TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) preserves the balanced signal from your XLR output, while TS (tip-sleeve) converts to unbalanced. Use TRS when connecting to gear that accepts balanced inputs.

Can I use these to connect my mixer to power amplifiers?

Yes, these work well for connecting mixer outputs to power amp inputs when your mixer has XLR outs and your amp has TRS inputs. The balanced connection maintains clean signal transfer, which is especially important for power amp connections where signal integrity directly affects your speakers.

Why would I need 6 cables instead of buying individually?

Most mixing applications require multiple connections - stereo main outs, monitor sends, effects sends, or multi-amp setups. Having 6 matching cables ensures consistent signal quality across all connections and the red color coding helps identify specific signal paths in your rack or mixing setup.

Will 3 feet be long enough for rack-mounted gear?

Three feet works well for direct rack connections, mixer-to-adjacent-rack routing, or desktop studio setups. This length minimizes signal degradation while providing enough reach for most professional rack configurations without creating cable mess behind your gear.

Do these work with both line and mic level signals?

These cables handle any signal level that your connected equipment can process - the cable itself doesn't amplify or attenuate. They work equally well for line-level connections between mixers and processors, or mic-level signals if you're connecting microphone preamp outputs to recording interfaces with TRS inputs.
