Hosa STX-103M Balanced Interconnect 1/4 in TRS to XLR Male — 3 ft
STX-103M Overview
The Hosa STX-103M is a 3 ft balanced interconnect cable engineered to route signal from balanced 1/4 in TRS outputs to XLR3M inputs, covering one of the most common signal-path connections in professional audio. The cable features Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors for enhanced signal clarity and an OFC spiral shield that provides effective rejection of EMI and RFI while maintaining flexibility for demanding stage and studio environments. Nickel-plated plugs deliver rugged durability and efficient signal transfer across repeated connection cycles. This cable suits audio engineers, system integrators, touring companies, and installation professionals who require reliable balanced connectivity between outboard gear, consoles, and signal processors.
The STX-103M’s compact 3 ft length is well suited for rack-to-rack patching, stage box connections, and short console-to-outboard runs where cable management and signal integrity are equally critical.
Key Features
- Balanced Signal Path — TRS to XLR3M configuration routes balanced audio from phone outputs to XLR inputs, maintaining common-mode noise rejection throughout the signal chain
- OFC Conductors — Oxygen-Free Copper construction minimizes signal loss and enhances overall audio clarity compared to standard copper conductors
- OFC Spiral Shield — Oxygen-Free Copper spiral shielding provides effective EMI and RFI rejection while preserving cable flexibility for repeated coiling and deployment
- Nickel-Plated Plugs — Nickel plating on both connectors ensures rugged durability and efficient signal transfer across high-use professional environments
- 3 ft Length — Compact length optimized for short-run patching applications including rack systems, console outboard connections, and stage setups
- Broad Application Compatibility — Suitable for a wide range of pro audio use cases including live sound, studio recording, broadcast, and installed sound
