Hosa GMP-113 Mono 1/4" (F) - Mono Mini (M) Adapter Jack

Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A short adapter that turns a 1/4" mono jack into a 3.5mm mono plug. For connecting gear whose jack sizes don't match.

Product studyHosa GMP-113 Mono 1/4" (F) - Mono Mini (M) Adapter Jack

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Running a 1/4" cable into a 3.5mm mono input
  • Keeping one in a gig bag for unexpected jack mismatches
  • Practice amps and small recorders with mini jacks

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Stereo signals — mono only, one channel gets lost
  • Anyone needing a full cable rather than a jack adapter
  • Heavy stage use where a rigid adapter strains the jack

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 01

Mono, not stereo

Only one signal channel passes. Feed it a stereo source and you lose or sum a side.

Detail 02

1/4" female end

Accepts a standard instrument or patch cable plug. It receives, it does not plug into an amp.

Detail 03

3.5mm mini male end

Plugs into headphone-size inputs on recorders, phones, laptops and small practice amps.

Detail 04

Rigid barrel adapter

The cable's weight hangs off the jack it's plugged into. Support it on portable devices.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this work for headphones?

Only mono. Headphones with a stereo plug will play one channel or drop a side. Use a stereo adapter for headphone listening.

02Which direction does it go?

A 1/4" plug goes into it, and its 3.5mm plug goes into your device. It won't adapt the other way.

03Can I plug my guitar into my phone with this?

It handles the jack size, but a phone's mini input still expects a different signal level than a guitar. Results vary by device.

04Does it change the sound?

No. It's a passive adapter that only changes the connector shape.
