Hosa PXM-103 Unbalanced Interconnect — 1/4 in TS to XLR Male, 3ft
PXM-103 Overview
The Hosa PXM-103 is a 3-foot unbalanced interconnect cable engineered to bridge gear with unbalanced 1/4 in TS phone outputs to equipment with XLR3M inputs. Built with an Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductor and an OFC spiral shield, it delivers clean signal transfer with effective rejection of EMI and RFI interference. Nickel-plated plugs provide durable, corrosion-resistant connections suited for repeated use in professional environments. This cable is a practical solution for audio engineers, system integrators, and technicians routing unbalanced signals into XLR-input devices such as mixers, preamps, and PA systems.
For optimal performance, match the high output impedance of the source to the low input impedance of the destination device. The OFC spiral shield construction also contributes to cable flexibility, making it manageable in tight rack and stage environments.
Key Features
- OFC Conductor — Oxygen-Free Copper construction minimizes signal loss and enhances overall signal clarity
- OFC Spiral Shield — Provides effective rejection of EMI and RFI while maintaining cable flexibility
- Nickel-Plated Plugs — Corrosion-resistant nickel plating ensures rugged durability and efficient signal transfer at the connection point
- 1/4 in TS to XLR3M Configuration — Purpose-built to connect unbalanced phone outputs to XLR-input gear without adapters
- 3-Foot Length — Compact 3ft run suited for short-distance patching in racks, at the stage, or at the mix position
- Impedance Matching Consideration — Designed for use where high output impedance sources feed low input impedance destinations for best signal integrity
Connectivity & I/O
- 1/4 in TS (unbalanced phone) connector — source end
- XLR3M (3-pin XLR male) connector — destination end
