Hosa CMP-159 — 3.5mm TRS to Dual 1/4 in TS Stereo Breakout Cable, 10ft
CMP-159 Overview
The Hosa CMP-159 is a 10ft stereo breakout cable that bridges a 3.5mm TRS mini stereo output to dual unbalanced 1/4 in TS inputs, making it a practical solution for integrating consumer and prosumer source devices into professional signal chains. Common applications include connecting laptops, portable media players, and mobile devices to mixing consoles, interface inputs, or installed audio systems. The cable is constructed with Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors and OFC spiral shielding for reliable signal integrity and EMI/RFI rejection. It is well suited for live sound engineers, system integrators, and venue technicians who regularly need to interface consumer-level outputs with professional gear.
Nickel-plated connectors provide durable, low-resistance contact points, and the OFC spiral shield construction contributes to flexibility for routing in tight rack or stage environments.
Key Features
- Stereo Breakout Configuration — splits a single 3.5mm TRS stereo output into left and right channels via dual 1/4 in TS plugs for direct connection to unbalanced pro audio inputs
- OFC Conductors — Oxygen-Free Copper construction minimizes signal loss and enhances overall clarity across the cable run
- OFC Spiral Shielding — spiral shield geometry provides effective rejection of EMI and RFI interference while maintaining cable flexibility
- Nickel-Plated Plugs — corrosion-resistant nickel plating ensures rugged durability and efficient signal transfer at the connector interface
- 10ft Length — provides practical reach for stage, studio, and installed applications without excessive cable management burden
- Consumer-to-Pro Integration — purpose-built for connecting laptops, portable media players, and similar devices to mixing consoles and unbalanced line inputs
Connectivity & I/O
- 1x 3.5mm TRS (mini stereo phone) plug — source end
- 2x 1/4 in TS (unbalanced mono phone) plugs — destination end (left and right channels)
