The SATRXL-M25 is a 25-foot XLR male to TRS patch cable designed for audio engineers, studio operators, and live sound techs who need reliable balanced connections between professional gear. This cable bridges the gap when your mixer has XLR outputs but your amplifier, equalizer, or processor requires TRS inputs.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, this cable maintains signal integrity across its 25-foot span while providing the flexibility needed for permanent installations or touring setups. The shielded design prevents interference, and the heavy-duty rubber jacket stands up to repeated setup and teardown.

The balanced configuration preserves audio quality over longer cable runs, making it ideal for connecting mixing consoles to power amplifiers in medium-sized venues, linking outboard processors in equipment racks, or routing signals between stage and FOH positions. The 25-foot length provides enough reach for most live sound applications without excess cable management.

This cable connects XLR male outputs (common on mixers and preamps) to TRS inputs (found on many amplifiers and processors). Setup is straightforward – plug and play with no adapters needed.

Seismic Audio backs this cable with a one-year warranty and ships it ready to work out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this XLR to TRS cable connect?

This cable connects gear with XLR male outputs (like mixing consoles, preamps, and some audio interfaces) to equipment with TRS inputs (such as power amplifiers, equalizers, compressors, and crossovers). It's commonly used in live sound setups where different pieces of professional audio gear use different connector types.

Is this cable balanced and why does that matter?

Yes, this is a balanced cable that maintains the balanced signal path from XLR to TRS. Balanced connections reject noise and interference much better than unbalanced cables, especially important over the 25-foot length. This prevents hum, buzz, and radio frequency interference from degrading your audio signal.

How long of a cable run do I need for typical live sound applications?

The 25-foot length works well for connecting FOH mixing consoles to amplifier racks, linking outboard processors in equipment racks, or routing signals from stage to front-of-house positions. For smaller setups or rack-mounted gear, shorter lengths may be more practical, while larger venues might require longer runs.

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

Only if your powered speakers have TRS inputs, which is uncommon. Most powered PA speakers use XLR inputs, so you'd typically use an XLR to XLR cable instead. This cable is primarily for connecting to amplifiers, processors, and other rack gear that uses TRS connections.

What's the difference between TRS and TS connections?

TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) carries balanced signals using three conductors, while TS (Tip-Sleeve) carries unbalanced signals with two conductors. This cable's TRS connector maintains the balanced signal from the XLR connection, providing better noise rejection than an XLR to TS cable would.
