The SAXLX-50 Red delivers reliable XLR connectivity for musicians, DJs, content creators, recording studios, podcasters, and churches who need a dependable 50-foot microphone cable. This balanced XLR cable handles professional audio signals with reliability.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, this cable maintains signal integrity across its full 50-foot length while rejecting RF interference that can plague lesser cables. The heavy-duty rubber jacket flexes repeatedly without cracking, making it ideal for touring musicians and mobile DJs who coil and uncoil cables nightly.

Professional 3-pin XLR connectors terminate both ends—male XLR on one side, female on the other—creating secure, balanced connections that won't come loose during performance. The shielded design prevents hum and noise pickup, essential for clean microphone signals. Red jacket color provides instant visual identification in complex cable runs.

Perfect for connecting vocal microphones to mixing consoles, linking audio gear in equipment racks, podcasting setups, video production, theater and film production, and mobile entertainment systems. The 50-foot length covers most stage-to-console distances without excess cable creating trip hazards. Also works for connecting balanced line-level signals between mixers, equalizers, crossovers, and amplifiers.

Simply connect the female XLR connector to your source output and the male XLR connector to your destination input. Cable ships ready to use—no additional adapters required.

Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and fast shipping. Professional-grade cable construction at a price point that makes sense for working musicians and venues.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this XLR cable and cheaper unbalanced cables?

This balanced XLR cable uses three conductors (positive, negative, and ground) to cancel out noise and interference, while unbalanced cables only have two conductors. The balanced design delivers cleaner audio signals, especially over longer runs like this 50-foot length. The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors also provide better signal transmission than the thinner wire found in budget cables.

Can I use this cable for DMX lighting control?

While this cable physically connects to DMX fixtures, it's not recommended for DMX applications. This audio cable has 75-ohm impedance, while DMX requires 120-ohm impedance for proper signal transmission. Using audio cables for DMX can cause signal reflections, data errors, and unreliable lighting control. For professional DMX applications, use dedicated 120-ohm DMX cables to ensure reliable data transmission and avoid potential equipment issues.

How long can I chain multiple XLR cables together before losing signal quality?

You can typically chain several of these 50-foot cables together for runs up to 300 feet without noticeable signal loss, thanks to the balanced design and quality copper conductors. For runs longer than 300 feet, consider using a microphone preamp or line driver to boost the signal.

Will this cable work with my home recording setup or is it only for live sound?

This cable works perfectly for home recording studios and project studios. Connect dynamic or condenser microphones (with phantom power) to your audio interface, or use it for balanced line connections between your audio interface and studio monitors. The 50-foot length gives you plenty of flexibility for larger home studio setups or when recording in different rooms.

What's the advantage of the heavy-duty rubber jacket over standard PVC cable jackets?

The heavy-duty rubber jacket remains flexible in cold weather and resists cracking from repeated coiling and uncoiling. This flexibility is crucial for touring musicians and mobile DJs who handle cables nightly. Standard PVC jackets can become stiff and crack over time, leading to exposed wires and potential short circuits.
