The SATRXL-F6 delivers the balanced connection you need to link mixers, equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and amplifiers when your gear has different connector types. This 6-foot patch cable bridges XLR female outputs to TRS inputs, solving the common studio and live sound challenge of mismatched professional audio connections.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and full shielding, this cable maintains signal integrity across your audio chain. The metal XLR female connector locks securely to prevent accidental disconnection during performances, while the metal TRS connector features high-grade fiberglass insulators for reliable connection to mixers and rack gear.

The heavy-duty rubber jacket flexes without kinking, making it suitable for permanent installations or portable setups that get moved frequently. At 6 feet, it provides enough reach for typical rack spacing while avoiding excess cable that creates clutter in your signal path.

Use this cable to connect your mixer's XLR outputs to rack processors with TRS inputs, or to adapt between different generations of audio gear with varying connector standards. It's essential for churches running analog mixers into digital processors, mobile DJs connecting outboard gear, and studios integrating vintage equipment with modern interfaces.

The cable comes ready to use with no additional adapters needed. Seismic Audio backs this patch cable with a one-year warranty and ships it fast so you can complete your signal chain without delay.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment does this cable connect?

This cable connects gear with XLR female outputs to equipment with TRS inputs. Common uses include connecting mixer outputs to equalizers, crossovers, compressors, or amplifiers when these devices have different connector types. It's particularly useful for integrating analog mixers with digital processors or connecting outboard gear in studio and live sound setups.

Can I use this cable for microphones?

No, this cable is designed for line-level connections between professional audio equipment, not for microphones. Microphones require XLR male to female cables. This XLR female to TRS cable is specifically for connecting outputs from mixers, audio interfaces, or processors to inputs on other rack-mounted gear.

Is 6 feet long enough for rack connections?

Yes, 6 feet provides adequate length for most rack-to-rack connections while avoiding excess cable that can create signal path clutter. This length works well for connecting a mixer on top of a rack to processors mounted within the same rack system, or for connecting adjacent pieces of equipment in most studio and venue setups.

Will this work with unbalanced equipment?

While this is a balanced cable, it will work with unbalanced TRS inputs, though you won't get the noise rejection benefits of balanced operation. The XLR end must connect to balanced outputs for proper operation. If your gear is fully unbalanced, standard TS cables would be more appropriate.

How does the shielding affect audio quality?

The shielded design prevents electromagnetic interference from nearby power cables, wireless devices, and other electronic equipment from entering your audio signal. This is especially important in live sound environments and studios with multiple electronic devices, ensuring clean signal transfer between your mixer and rack processors.
