The SATRXL-M2 Green connects mixers with XLR outputs to rack gear with 1/4" TRS inputs, solving the common interface mismatch in professional audio setups. This balanced cable maintains signal integrity when running between different pieces of pro audio equipment.

This 2-foot patch cable bridges XLR and TRS connections with a balanced signal path that preserves audio quality over the connection. The metal connectors on both ends provide reliable contact, while the shielded design prevents interference in rack-mounted environments.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and high-grade fiberglass insulators on the TRS connector, this cable delivers clean signal transfer between professional audio components. The heavy-duty rubber jacket protects the internal wiring from repeated handling and rack installation stress. At 2 feet long, it's sized for close equipment connections without excess cable clutter.

Perfect for connecting mixing consoles to equalizers, crossovers, compressors, or power amplifiers in live sound rigs and installed systems. Whether you're patching monitor sends to outboard processors or connecting console outputs to rack-mounted amps, this cable handles the job in venues from small clubs to mid-size performance spaces.

The XLR male connector fits standard mixer outputs, while the 1/4" TRS male end connects to balanced inputs on professional audio gear. Green color coding helps with cable management in complex setups.

Seismic Audio backs this patch cable with a one-year warranty. Professional-grade construction at a price point that works for working musicians and sound engineers.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects mixing consoles with XLR outputs to rack gear with 1/4" TRS inputs, including equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and power amplifiers. It's commonly used to patch mixer channel inserts, monitor sends, or main outputs to outboard processing equipment. The balanced connection maintains signal quality between professional audio components.

Is this cable balanced and will it work with unbalanced gear?

Yes, this is a fully balanced cable with XLR male to 1/4" TRS connections. It will work with unbalanced gear, but you'll only get the noise rejection benefits when both pieces of equipment support balanced connections. The shielded design helps reduce interference regardless of whether your setup is balanced or unbalanced.

How long should my patch cables be for rack-mounted equipment?

Two feet is the standard length for connecting equipment in the same rack or adjacent racks. This length provides enough reach for typical rack spacing without excess cable that creates clutter or signal degradation. For equipment separated by more than one rack space, consider longer patch cables to avoid strain on the connections.

Can I use this cable for microphone connections?

This cable is designed for line-level connections between professional audio equipment, not microphone connections. Microphones typically require XLR female inputs, while this cable has XLR male output. Use this cable for connecting mixer outputs to rack processors, not for plugging microphones into mixers or preamps.

Will this cable work with my home studio setup?

This cable works well in home studios for connecting audio interfaces with XLR outputs to outboard gear with TRS inputs, such as compressors or equalizers. The 2-foot length is perfect for desktop setups where equipment sits close together. The professional-grade construction ensures reliable connections in project studio environments.
