The SAXLX-6 Yellow XLR patch cable delivers reliable balanced audio connections for musicians, DJs, podcasters, content creators, recording studios, and churches. At 6 feet, this cable handles short-run connections between rack-mounted processors, mixer inserts, and nearby equipment.

This balanced XLR cable carries professional audio signals between mixers, equalizers, crossovers, amplifiers, and other gear requiring 3-pin XLR connections. The balanced design maintains clean signal transfer in electrically noisy environments like venues with stage lighting and power distribution.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding, this cable preserves signal integrity across the full audio spectrum. The heavy-duty flexible rubber jacket withstands repeated coiling and transport without cracking or compromising the internal wiring. Male XLR on one end, female XLR on the other provides standard patch cable functionality.

Perfect for connecting outboard processors in your rack, patching between mixing console inserts, or linking crossover outputs to amplifier inputs. Works equally well as a microphone cable for vocals or instruments.

Connect any equipment with 3-pin XLR inputs and outputs. The female connector attaches to your source output and the male connector attaches to your destination input. The 6-foot length keeps connections tidy in equipment racks while providing enough reach for nearby gear.

Seismic Audio backs this patch cable with a one-year warranty. Ships fast so you can complete your signal chain and get back to what matters—great sound.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment can I connect with this XLR patch cable?

This cable connects any gear with 3-pin XLR inputs and outputs, including mixers, equalizers, crossovers, amplifiers, compressors, and effects processors. It works as a microphone extension cable for vocals or instruments.

Is 6 feet long enough for rack equipment connections?

Yes, 6 feet provides ample length for connecting rack-mounted processors, mixer inserts, and nearby equipment while keeping cables organized. This length works well for most studio rack configurations and mobile rack cases without excess cable cluttering your setup.

Can I use this cable for DMX lighting control?

While this cable can physically carry DMX512 lighting control data, there are some considerations. The pros: 3-pin XLR connectors are compatible with many DMX fixtures, and basic lighting setups may work fine. The cons: audio cables like this one typically have 75-ohm impedance while DMX specification calls for 120-ohm impedance. This impedance mismatch can cause signal reflections, data errors, or reliability issues in longer DMX runs or complex lighting systems. For critical lighting applications, dedicated DMX cables are recommended.

How does the balanced design help my audio quality?

Balanced XLR connections use three conductors to cancel out electromagnetic interference from stage lights, power cables, and wireless devices. This design maintains clean audio signals in electrically noisy environments where unbalanced connections might pick up hum or buzz.

What's the difference between this and a regular microphone cable?

Functionally, there's no difference—this patch cable uses the same 3-pin XLR connectors and balanced wiring as microphone cables. The main distinction is intended use: patch cables typically connect equipment in racks, while mic cables run from microphones to mixing consoles.
