The SAXLX-3 Gray XLR patch cable delivers reliable balanced audio connections for studio racks, live sound setups, and lighting systems. This 3-foot cable handles the short-run connections that keep your signal chain clean and organized.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding, this cable maintains signal integrity across your entire audio path. The heavy-duty rubber jacket stands up to repeated plugging and unplugging in demanding environments.

The 3-foot length makes it ideal for rack-mounted gear connections, connecting mixers to equalizers, crossovers to amplifiers, or any gear requiring balanced XLR connectivity. The metal 3-pin XLR connectors (male to female) lock securely and resist wear from frequent use. The female connector attaches to your source output and the male connector attaches to your destination input.

Perfect for musicians, DJs, sound engineers, churches, recording studios, and podcasters. The neutral gray color blends into professional setups without drawing attention.

Each cable comes ready to use with male XLR on one end, female XLR on the other. No adapters needed for standard balanced audio connections. Seismic Audio backs every SAXLX-3 with a one-year warranty and ships fast to keep your projects moving.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment can I connect with this XLR patch cable?

This cable works with any gear that has XLR inputs and outputs - mixers, equalizers, crossovers, amplifiers, audio interfaces, and preamps. It's also compatible with microphones that use standard 3-pin XLR connections.

Is 3 feet long enough for rack-mounted equipment?

Yes, 3 feet is the standard length for connecting rack-mounted audio gear. This length keeps connections tidy while providing enough slack for easy plugging and maintenance without excess cable cluttering your rack space.

Can I use this as a regular microphone cable?

Absolutely. This cable uses the same 3-pin XLR male-to-female configuration as standard microphone cables. The 22-gauge conductors and shielding provide clean signal transmission for both line-level and mic-level applications.

Will this cable work with my DMX lighting controller?

While this cable physically connects to DMX fixtures using the same 3-pin XLR connectors, there are important technical considerations. Audio XLR cables like this one have a 75-ohm impedance, while DMX systems are designed for 120-ohm impedance. This impedance mismatch can cause signal reflections, data errors, and unreliable lighting control, especially over longer runs or in complex lighting networks. For critical lighting applications or permanent installations, dedicated DMX cables with proper 120-ohm impedance are recommended. However, this cable can work for short DMX runs or temporary setups where dedicated DMX cables aren't available.

How does the shielding protect my audio signal?

The shielding surrounds the conductors to block electromagnetic interference from nearby power cables, wireless devices, and lighting equipment. This keeps your audio signal clean and free from unwanted noise and hum.
