The SAXLX-25 Orange microphone cable delivers reliable balanced audio connections for live sound engineers, recording studios, and mobile performers who need dependable signal transmission. At 25 feet, this XLR cable provides the reach needed for stage setups while maintaining professional signal integrity.

This shielded microphone cable handles balanced audio signals between mixers, microphones, and other pro audio gear without interference or signal degradation. The heavy-duty rubber jacket protects the internal conductors from stage wear and outdoor conditions.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, the SAXLX-25 ensures clean signal transmission with superior RF rejection. The metal 3-pin XLR connectors (male to female) lock securely to prevent accidental disconnection during performances. Orange color coding makes cable identification quick during setup and troubleshooting in low-light environments.

Perfect for musicians, DJs, broadcasters, churches, recording studios, and theater and film production. Connect vocal microphones to mixing consoles, link outboard gear in recording chains, or handle various balanced audio applications. The 25-foot length works well for home studio configurations where you need to position microphones away from the control surface.

Each cable features standard XLR male and female connectors that work with any professional audio equipment using balanced XLR inputs and outputs. Connect the female connector to your source output and the male connector to your destination input. No adapters needed for standard microphone and line-level connections.

Seismic Audio backs every SAXLX-25 cable with a one-year warranty and ships ready to use out of the box.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a microphone cable and a regular audio cable?

Microphone cables like the SAXLX-25 use balanced XLR connections that carry audio signals with superior noise rejection compared to unbalanced cables. The three-pin design (positive, negative, and ground) cancels interference and allows for longer cable runs without signal degradation. This makes them essential for professional live sound and recording applications where clean audio transmission is critical.

Can I use this cable for DMX lighting control?

While the SAXLX-25 uses the same 3-pin XLR connector as DMX lighting systems, there are important technical differences to consider. Audio cables like this one are typically designed for 75-ohm impedance, while DMX512 lighting protocol requires 120-ohm impedance cables. Using audio cables for DMX can work in shorter runs but may cause signal reflections, data errors, or unreliable lighting control in longer runs or complex lighting setups. For critical DMX applications, dedicated DMX cables are recommended, though many lighting professionals do use quality microphone cables for short runs without issues.

How long of a cable run can I do before I need a signal booster?

With balanced XLR cables like the SAXLX-25, you can typically run up to 100-150 feet for microphone signals and even longer for line-level signals before experiencing any noticeable signal loss. The 25-foot length is well within the optimal range for all balanced audio applications, so you won't need any signal boosters or preamps. The shielded design and quality conductors maintain signal integrity across the entire cable length.

Will this cable work with my audio interface or mixing board?

The SAXLX-25 will work with any audio equipment that has standard 3-pin XLR inputs or outputs, including most audio interfaces, mixing consoles, preamps, and powered speakers. If your audio interface only has TRS or TS inputs, you'll need an XLR-to-TRS adapter. Most professional and prosumer audio gear uses XLR connections for microphone inputs, so compatibility is rarely an issue.

What applications work best with a 25-foot microphone cable?

The 25-foot length is ideal for home studios, podcast setups, and stage configurations where microphones need to reach 15-20 feet from the mixing console. This length provides enough reach for most singer-to-mixer distances without excess cable creating clutter on stage. For content creators, podcasters, and small recording setups, this length offers the flexibility to position microphones away from computer noise or control surfaces.
