Hosa DTF-803 Balanced Snake — XLR Female to DB25, 3 Meters
DTF-803 Overview
The Hosa DTF-803 is an 8-channel balanced snake terminated with XLR3F connectors on one end and a DB25 connector on the other, purpose-built for interfacing gear with XLR outputs to equipment with DB25 inputs. At 3 meters in length, it is well suited for studio patching, live console integration, and multitrack recorder connectivity. Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors ensure enhanced signal clarity across all eight channels, while OFC spiral shields provide effective rejection of EMI and RFI. This snake is a reliable choice for audio engineers, system integrators, and studio facilities requiring clean, organized multi-channel analog routing.
The XLR connectors feature internal strain relief for rugged, long-term reliability in demanding installation and touring environments.
