Hosa DTM-803 Balanced Snake — DB25 to XLR Male, 3m
DTM-803 Overview
The Hosa DTM-803 is a professional-grade balanced snake configured with a DB25 connector on one end and eight XLR3M connectors on the other, purpose-built for interfacing gear with DB25 outputs to XLR inputs. At 3 meters in length, it is well suited for rack-to-console and console-to-patchbay connections in studio, broadcast, and live production environments. Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors and OFC spiral shields deliver clean signal transfer with effective rejection of EMI and RFI. This snake is a reliable solution for audio engineers, system integrators, and facility technicians requiring organized, high-integrity multi-channel analog routing.
XLR connectors feature internal strain relief for long-term mechanical durability, making the DTM-803 suitable for both permanent installation and repetitive deployment scenarios.
Key Features
- DB25 to XLR3M Configuration — connects gear with DB25 outputs directly to equipment with balanced XLR inputs, including mixing consoles, patch bays, and multitrack recorders
- OFC Conductors — Oxygen-Free Copper construction minimizes resistance and preserves signal clarity across all eight channels
- OFC Spiral Shields — provide effective EMI and RFI rejection while maintaining cable flexibility for routing in tight rack environments
- Internal XLR Strain Relief — reinforces connector terminations against mechanical stress for rugged, reliable performance over repeated use
- 3-Meter Length — practical reach for console-to-rack and patchbay-to-interface connections without excess cable management overhead
- Balanced Signal Path — fully balanced wiring on all eight channels for maximum noise rejection in professional signal chains
