Hosa HSX-005 Pro Balanced Interconnect — REAN 1/4 in TRS to XLR Male, 5 ft
HSX-005 Overview
The Hosa HSX-005 is a professional-grade balanced interconnect cable purpose-built to route signal from balanced 1/4 in TRS outputs to XLR inputs. Constructed with 24 AWG Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors and a 90% OFC spiral shield, it delivers clean signal transfer with a high signal-to-noise ratio. Terminated with REAN connectors on both ends, the HSX-005 is engineered for the mechanical demands of touring and live-sound environments. It is well-suited for audio engineers, system integrators, and touring companies requiring reliable, low-noise balanced connections.
At 5 ft, this cable is practical for rack-to-console runs, stage patch points, and short-throw signal routing where a clean balanced connection is required.
Key Features
- REAN Connectors — Neutrik-manufactured REAN connectors provide superior signal transfer and rugged mechanical durability suited for repeated use in live applications
- 24 AWG OFC Conductors — Dual 24 AWG Oxygen-Free Copper conductors minimize signal loss and enhance overall signal clarity
- 90% OFC Spiral Shield — High-coverage Oxygen-Free Copper spiral shield reduces interference and improves the signal-to-noise ratio
- Balanced Signal Path — TRS-to-XLR wiring maintains a fully balanced connection, rejecting common-mode noise over cable runs
- Touring-Grade Construction — Designed specifically for the rigors of touring and live-sound applications where reliability under repeated use is critical
