The SATRXL-M10 Red is a 10-foot balanced XLR male to 1/4" TRS patch cable designed for connecting mixers to rack-mounted processors, equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and amplifiers in professional audio setups. This adapter cable bridges the gap between equipment with different connection standards, making it essential for building flexible PA systems and studio rack configurations.

This balanced cable maintains clean signal transfer between your mixer's XLR outputs and gear with 1/4" TRS inputs, eliminating the need for multiple adapters that can introduce noise and connection points. The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors provide reliable signal transmission for professional applications.

Built with metal connectors on both ends, the cable features a 3-pin XLR male connector and a 1/4" TRS connector with high-grade fiberglass insulators. The heavy-duty flexible rubber jacket protects the shielded cable from wear during transport and setup. At 10 feet, it provides enough length for typical rack-to-mixer connections while keeping cable runs manageable in smaller setups.

Use this cable to connect your mixer's balanced outputs to powered speakers with TRS inputs, patch into rack-mounted effects processors, or interface with amplifiers in medium-sized venues up to 200 people. The red jacket helps with cable identification in complex audio installations.

The cable comes ready to use with no additional adapters required. Seismic Audio backs the SATRXL-M10 with a one-year warranty and fast shipping to get your system connected quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects mixers with XLR outputs to rack-mounted gear with 1/4" TRS inputs, including equalizers, crossovers, compressors, amplifiers, and powered speakers. It's commonly used to patch mixer outputs into processing equipment or to connect balanced mixer sends to amplifier inputs in PA systems.

Is this cable balanced and will it work with my mixer's balanced outputs?

Yes, this is a balanced cable that maintains the balanced signal from your mixer's XLR output through to the TRS connection. The 3-pin XLR and TRS connectors both support balanced audio, so you'll get clean signal transfer without the noise issues common with unbalanced connections.

How long should my XLR to TRS cables be for a typical venue setup?

For most rack-to-mixer connections in venues up to 200 people, 10 feet provides sufficient length without excess cable that can cause signal degradation or create clutter. For larger venues or longer runs between your mixer position and rack location, consider 25-foot versions of the same cable.

Can I use this cable to connect my mixer directly to powered speakers?

Yes, if your powered speakers have 1/4" TRS inputs and your mixer has XLR outputs, this cable will work perfectly. Many powered speakers accept both XLR and TRS inputs, making this cable a useful alternative when you need TRS connectivity for your specific setup requirements.

What's the difference between this cable and a standard XLR to XLR cable?

This cable adapts between different connector types - XLR male to 1/4" TRS - while maintaining balanced audio transmission. Standard XLR to XLR cables connect equipment with matching XLR inputs and outputs, but this adapter cable lets you interface XLR and TRS equipment without additional adapters.
