The SAXLX-2 Gray XLR patch cable delivers reliable balanced audio connections for musicians, DJs, sound engineers, churches, podcasters, and content creators who need dependable signal routing in compact spaces. This 2-foot cable handles the short runs between rack-mounted processors, mixing consoles, and amplifiers where longer cables create unnecessary clutter.

Built with metal 3-pin XLR connectors (male to female), this patch cable maintains clean signal transfer through 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors. The shielded design prevents signal interference in electrically noisy environments with lighting rigs and wireless systems. Connect the female connector to your source output and the male connector to your destination input.

The heavy-duty flexible rubber jacket withstands repeated flexing and coiling without compromising the internal conductors. At 2 feet, this cable length works perfectly for connecting adjacent rack units, patching mixer outputs to crossovers, or linking processors in mobile DJ rigs where space is limited.

Use this XLR patch cable for connecting mixers to equalizers, crossovers to amplifiers, or any balanced audio equipment requiring 3-pin XLR connections. The compact length reduces cable mess in equipment racks while maintaining professional signal integrity. Also works as a microphone extension when needed.

The SAXLX-2 comes ready to use with male and female XLR connectors installed. Seismic Audio backs this patch cable with a one-year warranty and ships directly from our warehouse for fast delivery to your next gig or installation.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment can I connect with this XLR patch cable?

This cable connects any balanced audio equipment with 3-pin XLR inputs and outputs, including mixing consoles, equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and amplifiers. It's specifically designed for short runs between rack-mounted processors or adjacent pieces of equipment. You can also use it as a microphone cable when needed.

Is 2 feet long enough for typical rack connections?

Yes, 2 feet provides the ideal length for connecting adjacent rack units or patching between nearby equipment without excess cable creating clutter. This length works perfectly for mixer-to-EQ connections, crossover-to-amp patches, or linking processors in mobile DJ setups where space is limited.

Will this cable work with my wireless microphone receiver?

Absolutely. Any equipment with standard 3-pin XLR connections will work with this patch cable, including wireless microphone receivers, wired microphones, and audio interfaces. The balanced design maintains clean signal transfer from your receiver to your mixer or recording equipment.

How does the shielding protect my audio signal?

The shielded construction prevents electromagnetic interference from lighting systems, wireless devices, and electrical equipment that can cause noise in your audio signal. This is particularly important in live environments where multiple wireless systems and dimmer packs operate near your audio equipment.

Can I use this cable for DMX lighting control?

While this XLR cable physically connects to DMX lighting equipment since both use 3-pin XLR connectors, there are important technical differences to consider. Audio XLR cables like this one have a 75-ohm impedance, while DMX512 protocol requires 120-ohm impedance for proper signal transmission. Using audio cables for DMX may work for short runs but can cause signal degradation, data errors, or unreliable lighting control over longer distances or in complex setups. For critical lighting applications or permanent installations, dedicated 120-ohm DMX cables are recommended to ensure reliable data transmission and prevent costly lighting failures during performances.
