Detail 01
TRS connectors
Three conductors carry a balanced signal, so induced noise cancels at the input. Quieter than TS on the same run.

HosaCSS-201 Dual TRS - TRS Patch Cable 3.3 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Stereo 1/4 in. TRS patch pair, 3.3 ft, for balanced line connections between mixers, interfaces, and outboard gear in a rack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Interface balanced outs to studio monitors on a desk
- Patching outboard gear in and out of a mixer
- Short rack runs where hum from nearby power is a problem
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitar or bass into an amp, which needs unbalanced TS
- Long throws across a stage or studio floor
- Gear with only RCA or XLR jacks
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Dual cable, two channels
One cable handles a stereo pair or two mono balanced sends. Not a single stereo headphone cable.
Detail 03
3.3 ft length
Sized for rack neighbors and desktop monitors. Too short for anything on the far side of a room.
Detail 04
Balanced design
Only helps if both ends are balanced. Plugging into an unbalanced jack drops it back to unbalanced.
Detail 05
1/4 in. plugs
Fits standard line jacks on interfaces and mixers, not the 1/8 in. inputs on consumer gear.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm both devices have balanced TRS jacks, or the balanced benefit is lost
- 02TRS also carries stereo on some gear. Check what your jack expects
- 03Two channels only. Order more pairs for wider routing
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as a guitar cable?
No. Guitars use unbalanced TS cables with a single mono plug. These are dual TRS patch cables built for balanced line-level gear.
02What is the difference between TRS and TS?
TRS has an extra ring conductor for a balanced signal, which cancels noise picked up along the run. TS is unbalanced and better suited to instruments.
03Will these work with my studio monitors?
Yes, if the monitors have 1/4 in. TRS inputs and your interface has TRS outputs. Check the jacks first, since many monitors use XLR instead.
04Is 3.3 ft enough for a rack?
It suits units mounted near each other or gear sitting on the same desk. Measure the distance before ordering.
