Hosa STP-204 Insert Cable — 1/4 in TRS to Dual 1/4 in TS, 4 Meter
STP-204 Overview
The Hosa STP-204 is a 4-meter insert cable engineered to route audio between a mixing console’s channel insert point and an outboard effects processor equipped with unbalanced phone jacks. The cable features Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors for enhanced signal clarity and OFC spiral shielding for effective rejection of EMI and RFI interference. Nickel-plated connectors provide reliable contact and long-term durability under repeated use. This cable is well suited for live sound engineers, studio technicians, and system integrators working with console-based signal processing chains.
Leads are clearly labeled TIP (send) and RING (return) to eliminate guesswork during setup and patching, reducing errors in fast-paced 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 preserves audio integrity across the full cable length
- OFC Spiral Shields — Spiral OFC shielding provides effective EMI and RFI rejection while maintaining flexibility for routing in tight rack and console environments
- Nickel-Plated Plugs — Nickel plating on all connectors ensures rugged durability and efficient signal transfer over extended use cycles
- Insert-Optimized Design — Purpose-built for connecting mixing console channel inserts to effects processors with unbalanced 1/4 in TS jacks
- 4-Meter Length — Provides sufficient reach for typical rack-to-console configurations without excess cable management overhead
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)
