The XLRRS2 right angle XLR cables solve tight space challenges for touring musicians, DJs, and sound engineers who need professional connections in cramped rack systems or stage setups. When you're working behind amplifier racks or connecting gear in narrow spaces, standard straight connectors create cable stress and take up unnecessary room.

Each 3-foot cable features a female XLR straight connector on one end and a male XLR right angle connector on the other, creating clean connections without cable strain or awkward bends. The right angle design keeps cables flush against equipment, reducing the chance of accidental disconnection during performances.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, these balanced XLR patch cables maintain signal integrity across your entire audio chain. The 3-foot length provides flexibility for rack connections, stage monitor feeds, or linking processing equipment without excess cable clutter. Six cables in each pack give you enough connections for complex setups or spares for your gear bag.

Professional applications include connecting mixers to equalizers, linking crossovers to amplifiers, or patching processing units in touring racks. They work equally well for permanent installations in churches or venues where space behind equipment is limited. The right angle connection works on either input or output XLR jacks depending on your routing needs.

Simply plug the straight female end into your source equipment and connect the right angle male end to your destination. All six cables come ready to use with no additional adapters required. Seismic Audio backs these patch cables with a one-year warranty and ships them ready for your next gig or installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between right angle and straight XLR connectors?

Right angle XLR connectors bend 90 degrees from the cable body, allowing the cable to run parallel to equipment surfaces rather than sticking straight out. This design reduces strain on both the cable and the equipment jack, while saving space in tight rack installations or stage setups where clearance is limited.

Can I use these cables for microphones or just line-level signals?

These balanced XLR cables work for both microphone-level and line-level signals since they use the same 3-pin XLR connection standard. You can use them to connect microphones to mixers, link processing equipment, or patch between any devices with XLR inputs and outputs. The balanced design maintains signal quality regardless of whether you're carrying mic or line signals.

Which end should connect to my mixer - the straight or right angle connector?

Connect whichever end works best for your setup - both connectors carry the same signal. Typically, you'd use the right angle male end where space is tight (like the back of a rack-mounted mixer) and the straight female end where you have more clearance. The cable works in either direction since XLR connections don't have signal flow restrictions.

Are 3-foot cables long enough for rack equipment connections?

Three-foot XLR cables work well for most rack patching applications, connecting equipment within the same rack or adjacent racks. They provide enough length for flexible routing without excess cable that creates clutter. For connections between distant racks or across a room, you'll need longer XLR cables like our 10-foot or 25-foot options.

Do these cables work with phantom power for condenser microphones?

Yes, these balanced XLR cables properly carry phantom power from your mixer or preamp to condenser microphones that require it. The 3-pin XLR design and quality construction ensure reliable phantom power delivery alongside your audio signal. All three pins maintain proper connectivity for both standard dynamic microphones and phantom-powered condensers.
