Hosa SRC-204 Insert Cable — 1/4 in TRS to XLR3M and XLR3F, 4m
SRC-204 Overview
The Hosa SRC-204 is a purpose-built insert cable engineered to route a mixing console’s channel insert point to an outboard effects processor equipped with XLR input and output connectors. The cable carries unbalanced send and return signals via a single 1/4 in TRS plug splitting to XLR3M and XLR3F connectors, providing a clean, direct interface between console and processor. Conductors are built from Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) with OFC spiral shielding for reliable EMI and RFI rejection across the 4-meter run. This cable is well suited for live sound engineers, studio technicians, and system integrators working with console-based insert chains.
At 4 meters, the SRC-204 provides adequate reach for typical rack-to-console setups without excess cable management overhead, and nickel-plated connectors ensure consistent contact integrity through repeated use.
Key Features
- Console Insert Compatibility — designed specifically to interface a mixing console channel insert with an effects processor using XLR I/O
- Unbalanced Send and Return — tip carries send signal, ring carries return signal, sleeve is common ground, routed to XLR3M and XLR3F respectively
- Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Conductors — minimizes signal degradation and enhances overall signal clarity
- OFC Spiral Shielding — provides effective rejection of EMI and RFI interference while maintaining cable flexibility
- Nickel-Plated Plugs — deliver rugged durability and efficient signal transfer at all three connector points
- 4-Meter Length — practical reach for rack-mounted outboard gear positioned near the mixing position
Connectivity & I/O
- 1x 1/4 in TRS plug (console insert point)
- 1x XLR3M connector (send to effects processor input)
- 1x XLR3F connector (return from effects processor output)
