SAXLX-6 - 8 Pack of Black 6 Foot XLR Patch Cables
The SAXLX-6 8-pack provides professional XLR patch cables for musicians, DJs, sound engineers, churches, recording studios, and broadcasters who need reliable balanced connections throughout their PA system. These 6-foot cables handle the backbone connections between mixers, EQs, crossovers, amplifiers, and other pro audio gear.
Each cable features metal 3-pin XLR connectors (male to female) that lock securely and maintain consistent signal transfer during performances. The heavy-duty flexible rubber jacket protects the 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors inside, ensuring clean audio transmission without signal degradation.
The 6-foot length works well for rack-to-rack connections, mixer to amplifier runs, and short-distance patching in equipment racks or stage setups. These shielded cables prevent interference from nearby power sources and lighting equipment.
Perfect for churches connecting their mixing console to amplifiers, bands linking effects processors to their PA system, or DJs running balanced lines between their mixer and powered speakers. The 8-pack quantity covers connections without leaving you short.
The female connector attaches to your source output and the male connector attaches to your destination input – no additional adapters needed. The pack includes eight identical 6-foot black cables ready to integrate into your existing system.
Seismic Audio backs these cables with a one-year warranty and ships them ready to use straight from the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment do these XLR cables connect?
These cables connect any pro audio gear with balanced XLR inputs and outputs – mixers to amplifiers, EQs to crossovers, effects processors to mixing consoles, and microphone preamps to recording interfaces. They also work as microphone extension cables.
Are 6-foot cables the right length for equipment racks?
Six feet works well for most rack-to-rack connections and mixer-to-amplifier runs in the same area. For equipment racks mounted close together, 6 feet provides enough length to route cables neatly without excess slack. Longer runs between stage and FOH positions typically need 25-50 foot cables.
Can I use these cables for microphones?
Yes, these XLR cables work perfectly as microphone cables since they use the same 3-pin XLR connectors and balanced wiring. The 6-foot length suits close-mic applications like drum overheads, guitar amp micing, or situations where the mixer is near the performance area.
Do these cables work with both powered and passive speakers?
These XLR patch cables are designed for line-level balanced connections between audio equipment, not for connecting amplifiers to passive speakers. Use these between your mixer and powered speakers with XLR inputs, or between your mixer and separate amplifiers that drive passive speakers via speaker cables.
Can these cables be used for DMX lighting applications?
While these XLR cables physically connect to DMX fixtures, they're not optimal for DMX use. DMX requires 120-ohm impedance cables, while these audio cables are typically 75-ohm. This impedance mismatch can cause signal reflections, data errors, and unreliable lighting control, especially over longer runs or in complex lighting networks. For critical DMX applications, use dedicated DMX cables. However, these may work for short runs in simple setups where dedicated DMX cables aren't available.
