The SATRXL-F6 Purple patch cable connects mixers to outboard gear when your setup mixes XLR and TRS connections. This 6-foot balanced cable bridges the gap between professional mixing consoles and rack-mounted processors that use different connector types.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding, this cable maintains signal integrity across your audio chain. The heavy-duty rubber jacket protects against stage wear while remaining flexible enough for tight rack installations.

Key construction features include metal XLR female and TRS male connectors with high-grade fiberglass insulators on the TRS end. The balanced design preserves your signal's dynamic range and reduces noise when connecting mixers to equalizers, crossovers, compressors, or power amplifiers. Six-foot length provides routing flexibility without excess cable clutter.

Essential for live sound engineers running analog signal processing chains, studio producers integrating outboard gear, and venues with mixed connector formats across their audio equipment. Works particularly well in church sound systems and smaller venues where rack space requires efficient cable management.

Simply connect the XLR female end to your mixer's balanced output and the TRS male to your processor's input. The balanced connection maintains professional signal levels throughout your audio path.

Seismic Audio backs this cable with a full one-year warranty. Ships ready to integrate into your existing audio setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR female to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects mixing console balanced outputs (XLR) to rack-mounted processors like equalizers, crossovers, compressors, or power amplifiers that have TRS inputs. It's commonly used when your mixer has XLR outputs but your outboard gear uses quarter-inch TRS connections. The balanced design maintains professional signal quality between devices.

Can I use this cable to connect a microphone to my mixer?

No, this cable has an XLR female connector, which means it's designed to receive signal from XLR male outputs, not microphones. Microphones have XLR male connectors and need XLR female inputs on your mixer. This cable is specifically for connecting mixer outputs to gear with TRS inputs.

How does the 6-foot length work for typical rack installations?

Six feet provides sufficient reach for most rack configurations while minimizing cable clutter. It easily connects a mixer sitting on top of a rack to processors mounted several rack units below, or reaches between adjacent equipment racks. The length prevents the signal degradation that can occur with unnecessarily long cable runs.

Will this cable work with unbalanced TRS equipment?

Yes, this balanced cable will work with unbalanced TRS gear, though you'll only get the noise rejection benefits if both ends of your signal chain support balanced connections. When connecting to unbalanced equipment, the cable simply carries the signal without the balanced configuration's noise-canceling advantages.

What's the difference between this and a standard XLR to XLR cable?

This cable adapts between connector types (XLR to TRS) rather than simply extending an XLR connection. Use this when your source equipment has XLR outputs but your destination gear has TRS inputs. A standard XLR cable connects XLR output to XLR input on equipment using the same connector format.
