Detail 01
Balanced TRS, not TS
Rejects hum and interference over the run. Only helps if both ends of your gear are balanced.

HosaCSS203 Balanced Dual 1/4" TRS Male to Balanced Dual 1/4" TRS Male Patch Cable 3 m
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 3-meter pair of balanced 1/4" TRS cables, joined for stereo or dual-channel runs. For patching gear that lives a few meters apart.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Linking a mixer's stereo outs to powered speakers or an interface
- Running keyboard left/right into a console across the stage
- Any balanced send-and-return pair over a few meters
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Short desktop patching — 3 m is a lot of slack on a rack
- Unbalanced pedal or instrument connections; this is line level
- Anyone needing a single cable, not a pair
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, both ends
Two channels in one purchase. Handles stereo pairs or two separate mono balanced lines.
Detail 03
3 m length, about 10 ft
Enough for mixer-to-monitor or rack-to-stage-box without excess coil.
Detail 04
Male on both ends
Goes jack to jack. Cannot extend another cable without a coupler.
Detail 05
Black jacket
Blends into a dark rack or stage floor; label the ends if you patch often.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Plugging balanced TRS into unbalanced TS jacks works but loses the noise rejection
- 02No adapters included — check your gear takes 1/4", not XLR
- 03Both ends are male, so this connects gear to gear, not cable to cable
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use these with unbalanced gear?
Yes, they will pass signal, but you lose the balanced noise rejection. On short runs in a quiet room that rarely matters.
02Is this one cable or two?
Two, joined as a pair. You get both channels of a stereo connection.
03Will these work for my guitar?
They are built for balanced line-level patching between gear. An instrument cable is the right tool for a guitar.
04How long is 3 m in feet?
Just under 10 ft.
