The SAXLX-3 Multi-Color 8 Pack delivers professional XLR patch cables in eight distinct colors for musicians, DJs, sound engineers, recording studios, churches, and theater production who need organized, reliable signal routing. Color-coding your connections eliminates guesswork during setup and troubleshooting in low-light environments.

Each 3-foot cable features male-to-female 3-pin XLR connectors with balanced, shielded construction using 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors. The balanced design maintains clean signal integrity across your entire audio chain, from mixer outputs to rack processors to amplifier inputs. The female connector attaches to your source output and the male connector attaches to your destination input.

At 3 feet, these patch cables are sized for rack-mount equipment spacing and close-proximity connections. The multi-color pack includes black, blue, green, orange, red, yellow, purple, and white cables, giving you visual organization for complex routing schemes. Each cable weighs just 0.19 pounds for easy transport and cable management.

Use these for connecting mixers to EQs, crossovers to amplifiers, or processors to speakers in your live sound rig. The 3-foot length works perfectly for rack-to-rack connections in mobile DJ setups, church sound systems, and studio control rooms. They also function as short microphone cables when needed.

The 8-pack provides enough cables to handle most small-to-medium routing jobs.

Seismic Audio backs these cables with a one-year warranty. Professional-grade construction at a practical price point for working sound engineers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between these patch cables and regular microphone cables?

These XLR patch cables use the same connectors as mic cables but are optimized for equipment connections rather than long cable runs. The 3-foot length is perfect for connecting rack-mounted gear like mixers, EQs, and amplifiers without excess cable cluttering your setup.

Can I use these cables for microphones or just equipment connections?

Yes, these work as microphone cables for close-mic applications like drum overheads or guitar amps. The balanced XLR design handles both line-level signals between equipment and mic-level signals from microphones. The 3-foot length limits their use to near-field recording or very close stage setups.

Do these cables work with DMX lighting controllers?

While XLR cables physically connect to DMX lighting controllers since both use 3-pin XLR connectors, these audio cables have different impedance specifications than dedicated DMX cables. Audio XLR cables typically have 75-ohm impedance while DMX cables are designed for 120-ohm impedance. This impedance mismatch can cause signal reflections, data errors, and unreliable lighting control, especially over longer cable runs or in complex lighting systems. For basic, short-run lighting setups, they may function adequately, but dedicated DMX cables are strongly recommended for professional lighting applications to ensure reliable data transmission and prevent intermittent control issues.

Why choose colored cables instead of all black cables?

Color-coding eliminates confusion during setup and troubleshooting, especially in dark environments or complex routing situations. You can assign specific colors to different signal paths—red for vocals, blue for instruments, green for effects returns—making your system much easier to manage and modify during shows.
