Hosa STP-203 Insert Cable — 1/4 in TRS to Dual 1/4 in TS, 3m
STP-203 Overview
The Hosa STP-203 is a 3-meter insert cable engineered to route a mixing console’s channel insert point to and from an outboard effects processor equipped with unbalanced phone jacks. The cable features Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors for clean signal transfer and OFC spiral shielding for effective rejection of EMI and RFI interference. Leads are clearly labeled TIP (send) and RING (return) to eliminate guesswork during setup and patching. This cable is well-suited for audio engineers, live sound technicians, and studio operators who rely on console insert loops for dynamics processing, equalization, or effects integration.
The nickel-plated connectors provide reliable contact and long-term durability in demanding touring and installation environments.
Key Features
- Labeled Leads — TIP (send) and RING (return) identification printed on each lead for fast, accurate patching at the console insert point
- OFC Conductors — Oxygen-Free Copper construction minimizes signal degradation and maintains audio clarity across the full signal path
- OFC Spiral Shield — Spiral-wound OFC shielding provides effective EMI and RFI rejection while preserving cable flexibility during repeated use
- Nickel-Plated Plugs — Corrosion-resistant nickel plating ensures rugged durability and efficient electrical contact over extended service life
- Insert-Optimized Design — Purpose-built to interface mixing console channel inserts with unbalanced effects processors, eliminating the need for adapters or workarounds
- 3-Meter Length — Provides adequate reach for rack-mounted outboard gear positioned adjacent to or below the mixing position
Connectivity & I/O
- 1x 1/4 in TRS plug (console insert send/return)
- 2x 1/4 in TS plugs (effects processor send and return, labeled TIP and RING)
