The SATRXL-F10 Green patch cable bridges the connection gap between mixers and outboard gear when you have mismatched XLR and TRS connections. This 10-foot balanced cable features a 3-pin XLR female connector on one end and a 1/4" TRS male connector on the other, handling the signal conversion between different rack equipment formats.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, this shielded cable maintains signal integrity across the full audio spectrum. The heavy-duty rubber jacket protects against wear from repeated setup and teardown, while metal connectors with high-grade fiberglass insulators ensure reliable connections that won't degrade over time.

Perfect for connecting mixing boards to equalizers, crossovers, compressors, or power amplifiers when your rack setup uses different connection standards. Recording studios rely on these cables to integrate vintage outboard gear with modern mixing consoles, while live sound engineers use them to connect digital mixers to analog processing equipment.

The 10-foot length provides flexibility for rack positioning without excess cable clutter. The balanced design rejects noise and interference, maintaining clean signal transfer between components.

Seismic Audio backs this patch cable with a full one-year warranty and ships ready to use out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR female to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects mixing boards, audio interfaces, or other gear with XLR male outputs to equipment with 1/4" TRS inputs like equalizers, compressors, crossovers, or power amplifiers. It's designed for balanced audio connections between professional rack-mounted equipment that uses different connector standards.

Is this cable balanced and will it work with my rack gear?

Yes, this is a fully balanced cable that maintains proper signal integrity between balanced XLR and TRS connections. The 3-pin XLR female and TRS connectors both carry balanced signals, making it ideal for professional rack equipment where you need to maintain low noise and high signal quality.

How long should my patch cables be for a typical rack setup?

The 10-foot length works well for most rack configurations, allowing flexibility to connect equipment in different rack positions without excess cable length creating clutter. For smaller racks or nearby connections, shorter cables reduce signal path, while longer runs may require 25-foot versions for cross-rack connections.

Can I use this cable to connect microphones or instruments?

No, this cable is designed for line-level connections between rack equipment, not for microphones or instruments. Microphones typically use XLR male to XLR female cables, while instruments use unbalanced 1/4" TS connections. This XLR female to TRS configuration is specifically for connecting outboard processors to mixing equipment.

What's the difference between TRS and TS connections on patch cables?

TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) connections carry balanced signals with three conductors, providing better noise rejection for professional equipment connections. TS (Tip-Sleeve) connections are unbalanced with two conductors, typically used for instruments. This TRS cable maintains the balanced signal integrity needed for rack gear connections.
