The SAXLX-3 Purple XLR patch cable delivers professional balanced signal connections for live sound applications. This 3-foot cable features metal XLR connectors and heavy-duty construction designed for touring musicians, DJs, podcasters, sound engineers, churches, and schools who need reliable short-run connections.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, this cable maintains signal integrity across the full frequency spectrum. The flexible rubber jacket protects against wear while remaining easy to coil and route through tight spaces. Shielded construction prevents interference in high-EMI environments.

The 3-foot length makes this cable ideal for patch bay connections, linking outboard gear in studio racks, connecting stage monitors to amplifiers, or bridging mixers to processing equipment. The female connector attaches to your source output and the male connector attaches to your destination input.

Each end features genuine 3-pin XLR connectors — male on one end, female on the other — ensuring secure connections to microphones, preamps, mixing boards, and amplifiers. The cable handles audio signals reliably.

Every SAXLX-3 cable comes with a one-year warranty and ships ready to use. Seismic Audio builds these cables to professional standards while maintaining the value pricing that working musicians depend on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment can I connect with this XLR cable?

This cable connects any gear with XLR inputs and outputs, including microphones to mixers, outboard processors to mixing consoles, wireless receivers to amplifiers, and various audio equipment. The balanced design works reliably with professional audio signals.

Is 3 feet long enough for most studio rack connections?

Yes, 3 feet is the standard length for patch bay and rack-mounted equipment connections. This length provides enough slack for clean cable routing without excess that creates clutter in tight spaces like equipment racks or DJ booths.

Can I use this cable for live microphone performances?

While this cable has the same XLR connectors as microphone cables, the 3-foot length makes it better suited for equipment connections rather than handheld microphone use. For stage microphones, you'll want 15-25 foot cables to allow performer movement.

Can I use this cable for DMX lighting applications?

While this cable uses the same XLR connectors as DMX lighting cables, it's not recommended for lighting control. Audio XLR cables typically have 75-ohm impedance while DMX requires 120-ohm impedance. Using audio cables for DMX can cause signal reflections, data errors, and unreliable fixture control. The impedance mismatch may work for short runs but can lead to intermittent problems in complex lighting systems.

How does the shielding protect my signal?

The shielded design prevents electromagnetic interference from power cables, wireless transmitters, and electronic equipment from introducing noise into your audio signal. This is especially important in environments with extensive lighting rigs and wireless systems.
