The SAXLX-6 Yellow 6 Pack delivers six matching 6-foot XLR patch cables for musicians, DJs, content creators, churches, recording studios, and mobile entertainers who need consistent, visible connections in their signal chain. These bright yellow cables make it easy to identify and trace your balanced audio paths in complex setups.

Each cable features metal 3-pin XLR connectors (male to female) that handle the balanced audio signals between mixers, equalizers, crossovers, amplifiers, and other pro audio gear. The female connector attaches to your source output and the male connector attaches to your destination input. The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors ensure clean signal transfer without degradation across your entire audio chain.

The heavy-duty flexible rubber jacket protects against wear from regular setup and breakdown, while the shielded design prevents interference from nearby power cables and lighting equipment. At 6 feet each, these cables provide the right length for most rack-to-rack connections and short monitor sends without excess cable clutter on stage.

Perfect for connecting outboard processors in your rack system, patching monitor sends to stage wedges, or linking effects units to your mixer. The uniform yellow color coding helps you quickly identify specific signal paths during live shows or installation work. These cables also work for microphone connections.

The 6-pack includes six identical cables ready to integrate into your existing setup. Each cable connects standard XLR outputs to XLR inputs found on virtually all pro audio equipment. Seismic Audio backs these cables with a one-year warranty and ships them ready to use out of the box.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment do these XLR cables connect?

These cables connect any gear with standard 3-pin XLR inputs and outputs, including mixers, amplifiers, equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and effects processors. They also work for microphone connections. The balanced design makes them ideal for professional audio applications where signal quality matters.

How long should my XLR patch cables be for rack equipment?

Six-foot cables work well for most rack-to-rack connections and nearby equipment patches. This length provides enough reach for standard equipment spacing without creating cable clutter that can cause ground loops or signal interference. For longer runs between the mixing console and stage monitors, you'll need longer cables.

Can I use these cables for microphones instead of instrument cables?

Yes, these are true XLR microphone cables with balanced 3-pin connectors. The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and shielding handle microphone signals perfectly. They work with dynamic mics, condenser mics, and any other equipment that uses standard XLR connections for balanced audio.

Why choose yellow cables over black ones?

Yellow cables provide instant visual identification in complex setups, making it easier to trace specific signal paths during live shows or troubleshooting. Many sound engineers use color-coded cables to identify different types of connections - yellow for monitors, red for mains, blue for effects returns. This speeds up setup and breakdown significantly.

Do these cables work with phantom power for condenser microphones?

Yes, these XLR cables fully support phantom power delivery to condenser microphones and other equipment requiring +48V power. The balanced design and proper shielding ensure clean power delivery without interference. The metal connectors provide reliable contact for both audio signal and phantom power transmission.

Can I use these XLR cables for DMX lighting control?

While these cables have the correct 3-pin XLR connectors that physically fit DMX equipment, they're not ideal for lighting applications. Audio XLR cables use 75-ohm impedance while DMX requires 120-ohm impedance. Using audio cables for DMX can cause signal reflections, data errors, and unreliable lighting control. For short runs in emergency situations they may work, but dedicated DMX cables with proper impedance matching will give you reliable lighting performance. The impedance mismatch can cause intermittent failures, especially in longer cable runs or complex lighting setups.
