SAXLX-50 - Pair of Red 50 Foot XLR Microphone Cables
Professional XLR microphone cables built for musicians, DJs, churches, recording studios, content creators, and mobile entertainers that need reliable balanced audio connections. These 50-foot cables handle everything from vocal mics to line-level signals between mixing consoles, amplifiers, and processing gear.
Each cable delivers clean, interference-free signal transmission through 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding. The balanced XLR design eliminates noise and hum that can plague unbalanced connections, especially over longer cable runs in electrically noisy environments.
The heavy-duty rubber jacket withstands regular setup and teardown cycles while maintaining signal integrity. Metal XLR connectors provide secure, professional-grade connections that won't fail mid-performance. At 50 feet per cable, you get extended reach for larger setups without signal degradation.
Use these cables to connect microphones to mixing boards, link mixing consoles to amplifiers, or patch between equalizers and crossovers in your signal chain. The red color coding helps with cable management when running multiple lines. The female connector connects to your source output and the male connector connects to your destination input.
Each cable features XLR male on one end and XLR female on the other, creating standard mic cable or line-level patch cable functionality. You receive two 50-foot cables in this package.
Seismic Audio backs these cables with a one-year warranty. Professional-grade construction at a price point that works for working musicians and sound professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between XLR and 1/4" cables for microphones?
XLR cables carry balanced signals that reject interference and hum, making them essential for professional microphone connections. Unlike 1/4" instrument cables, XLR provides phantom power for condenser mics and maintains signal quality over long runs. These cables work with dynamic and condenser microphones, as well as line-level connections between professional audio gear.
Can I use these cables to connect my mixer to powered speakers?
Yes, if your powered speakers have XLR inputs for line-level signals. Many powered PA speakers and studio monitors accept XLR connections from mixing consoles. However, check your speaker's input requirements first – some powered speakers only accept 1/4" TRS or speakon connections for line input.
Do these cables work for DMX lighting control?
While these XLR cables physically connect to DMX lighting equipment, they're not ideal for DMX applications. Audio XLR cables typically have 75-ohm impedance, while DMX lighting systems require 120-ohm cable impedance. This impedance mismatch can cause signal reflections, data errors, and unreliable lighting control, especially over longer cable runs. For critical DMX applications, use dedicated DMX-rated cables with proper 120-ohm impedance.
Why choose XLR over cheaper microphone cables?
Professional XLR cables like these use oxygen-free copper conductors and proper shielding to maintain signal integrity over long runs. Cheaper cables often use lower-grade materials that introduce noise, especially in electrically noisy environments with stage lighting and amplifiers. The balanced XLR design also provides better rejection of electromagnetic interference than unbalanced connections.
What applications work best with 50-foot XLR cables?
These cables excel in recording studios for connecting microphones to interfaces, live sound setups for vocal and instrument mics, podcast and content creation studios, church sound systems, school auditoriums, theater productions, and mobile DJ/entertainment rigs. The 50-foot length provides flexibility for larger setups while maintaining professional signal quality.
