The SAXLX-50 delivers professional XLR connectivity for musicians, DJs, podcasters, recording studios, and schools who need reliable 50-foot cable runs. Whether you're connecting microphones to mixers, linking audio equipment, or running longer cable distances, this cable handles the distance without signal degradation.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding, the SAXLX-50 maintains signal integrity across its full 50-foot length while rejecting RF interference that can plague longer cable runs. The heavy-duty rubber jacket protects against stage wear, cable pulls, and outdoor conditions.

The cable features metal 3-pin XLR connectors (male to female) that lock securely and resist corrosion. The female connector connects to your source output and the male connector connects to your destination input. At 50 feet, it's ideal for larger stages, outdoor events, houses of worship, and applications where equipment needs significant separation from the mixing position. This length works well for connecting floor monitors across wide stages, running microphones to FOH mixers, or linking audio processors in permanent installations.

Standard XLR connectivity means compatibility with virtually all professional microphones, mixing consoles, amplifiers, signal processors, and audio interfaces. The balanced connection eliminates ground loop issues common with longer unbalanced runs.

Seismic Audio backs the SAXLX-50 with a one-year warranty and ships it ready for immediate use in demanding live sound applications.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the maximum distance I should use for microphone connections?

The SAXLX-50's 50-foot length is well within professional standards for balanced XLR microphone connections. The oxygen-free copper conductors and proper shielding maintain signal quality without noticeable loss or interference. For most live sound applications, 50 feet provides excellent performance for connecting microphones to mixing consoles or connecting audio equipment across larger venues.

Can I use this cable for DMX lighting control?

While the SAXLX-50 uses the same 3-pin XLR connectors as DMX lighting cables, it's designed for audio with 75-ohm impedance rather than the 120-ohm impedance specified for DMX512. This impedance difference can cause signal reflections and data errors in lighting systems, potentially leading to inconsistent fixture control or communication failures. For reliable DMX applications, dedicated DMX cables with proper 120-ohm impedance are recommended.

How does 50 feet compare to shorter XLR cables for signal quality?

Balanced XLR connections like the SAXLX-50 maintain excellent signal quality at 50 feet due to the differential signal transmission and proper shielding. Unlike unbalanced cables that degrade over distance, balanced XLR cables can run much longer without audible signal loss. The oxygen-free copper conductors ensure optimal signal transfer across the full cable length.

What applications work best with 50-foot XLR cables?

The SAXLX-50 excels in applications where mixing positions are separated from the stage, outdoor events requiring longer cable runs, churches with distant sound booths, and conference rooms with presentation equipment spread across large spaces. It's also ideal for permanent installations where equipment racks need significant separation from performance areas.

Will this cable work with all my existing XLR equipment?

The SAXLX-50 uses standard 3-pin XLR connectors that work with all professional microphones, mixing consoles, amplifiers, signal processors, and audio interfaces with XLR inputs or outputs. The male-to-female configuration allows daisy-chaining multiple cables for even longer runs when needed, and the balanced connection eliminates compatibility issues with professional audio equipment.
