Rapco HorizonXLR-TRS Cable 30 ft.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 30-foot cable with XLR on one end and TRS on the other, for connecting balanced gear with mismatched connectors.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Mixer output to a powered speaker with a TRS input
- Interface balanced output to an XLR input across a room
- Patching gear where one side has XLR and the other TRS
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing XLR on both ends for a microphone
- Runs into unbalanced gear, where the balanced benefit is lost
- Carrying amplifier output to a speaker cabinet
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Balanced signal path
Rejects hum and interference picked up along the run, which matters most at longer lengths like this.
Detail 03
30 ft length
Reaches from a mixer position to speakers on stands or across a stage without extension.
Detail 04
TRS end, not TS
Three-conductor plug. It fits a TS jack physically but you lose the balanced advantage.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check whether your gear needs male or female XLR before ordering
- 02This is line-level; it will not carry amplifier output to a cabinet
- 03Sold as one cable — a stereo pair needs two
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this for a microphone?
Only if your mixer or preamp input is TRS rather than XLR. Most mic inputs are XLR, which would need an XLR-to-XLR cable instead.
02Is the XLR end male or female?
Confirm before ordering. The end you need depends on which device is sending and which is receiving.
03Will this stay quiet over 30 feet?
Balanced connections are built for exactly this. Interference picked up along the run gets cancelled at the receiving end.
04Can I plug the TRS end into a guitar amp?
No. This carries line-level balanced signal between audio gear, not instrument signal into an amp input.
