The SAXLX-2 Red XLR patch cable delivers reliable balanced audio connections for musicians, DJs, sound engineers, churches, recording studios, and podcasters. This 2-foot red cable keeps your signal path organized while maintaining professional-grade audio integrity.

Built with heavy-duty flexible rubber jacketing and metal 3-pin XLR connectors, this cable handles the daily demands of live performance and studio work. The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors ensure clean signal transmission between your mixer, EQ, crossover, and amplifier connections.

The 2-foot length makes this cable ideal for tight rack configurations where longer cables create unnecessary clutter. The red color coding helps maintain visual organization in complex audio setups, making troubleshooting faster during live events.

Use this cable to connect mixer outputs to graphic EQs, link crossovers to power amplifiers, or patch between any balanced audio gear with XLR connections. The female connector attaches to your source output and the male connector attaches to your destination input. The cable also works for microphone connections in smaller installations.

Each cable features male XLR on one end and female XLR on the other, creating a complete balanced connection path. The shielded design prevents interference in electromagnetically noisy environments like venues with stage lighting.

Seismic Audio backs this cable with a one-year warranty and ships fast to keep your audio system running. Professional build quality at a price point that works for working musicians and sound engineers.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment can I connect with this XLR patch cable?

This cable connects any balanced audio gear with XLR inputs and outputs, including mixing consoles, graphic equalizers, crossovers, power amplifiers, and signal processors. It also works for microphone connections.

Is 2 feet long enough for rack-mounted equipment?

Yes, the 2-foot length is specifically designed for rack configurations where gear is stacked vertically. This length prevents cable clutter while providing enough reach to connect adjacent rack units or patch between a mixer and nearby outboard gear.

Can I use this cable for DMX lighting control?

While this cable has the correct 3-pin XLR connectors for DMX applications, it's not ideal for lighting control. Audio cables like this one have 75-ohm impedance while DMX requires 120-ohm impedance for proper signal integrity. Using audio cables for DMX can work for very short runs in simple setups, but may cause signal degradation, data errors, or unreliable fixture communication over longer distances or in complex lighting networks. For professional lighting installations, dedicated DMX cables with proper impedance matching are recommended.

How does the red color help in live sound applications?

Red color coding allows you to visually organize your signal path and quickly identify specific connections during setup or troubleshooting. Many engineers use different colored cables to distinguish between different signal types or channels, making live mixing and problem-solving more efficient.

Will this cable work with phantom-powered microphones?

Yes, this balanced XLR cable carries phantom power safely from your mixer to condenser microphones. The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and proper shielding handle both audio signals and the 48V phantom power that studio condensers require.
