Detail 01
Right-angle 3.5 mm plug
Sits flat against a phone or laptop instead of standing proud, so the jack takes less strain in a bag or on a stand.

HosaXVM-105M Right-Angle Stereo 3.5mm Male to XLR Male Patch Cable 5 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A short cable that takes a 3.5 mm output from a phone or laptop into an XLR input on a mixer or powered speaker.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Playing backing tracks into a powered speaker with an XLR input
- Feeding a phone into a mixer channel that only has XLR
- Sitting a laptop next to the input it feeds
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Runs longer than a few feet — 5 ft is patch length
- Connecting a microphone to anything
- Anyone needing separate left and right channels at the far end
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
XLR male end
Mates with a female XLR input — a mixer channel or powered speaker input. It will not plug into an XLR output.
Detail 03
5 ft length
Device-to-input length. Plan on the phone or laptop being within arm's reach of the mixer.
Detail 04
3.5 mm source into one XLR
A stereo source arrives at a single mono input. Do not expect a proper stereo image at the far end.
Detail 05
Fixed molded ends
Nothing to rewire or adapt. If you need a different connector later, you need a different cable.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Start with the channel gain low — a phone output can hit a mic input hard
- 02No 1/4" option here; check the input you are feeding is XLR female
- 03For true stereo you need two inputs and a different cable
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I plug this into a microphone input?
Yes, that is the usual target. Turn the gain well down first, since a phone or laptop output is much hotter than a microphone.
02Will I get stereo out of it?
No. Everything lands on one XLR connection, so treat it as a mono feed into a single channel.
03Can I use it to connect a mic to my phone?
No. The XLR end is male, so it plugs into inputs, not into a microphone body, and it is not wired for that direction.
04Is 5 ft long enough for a stage?
Only if your device sits beside the mixer or speaker. For anything across a stage you need a longer cable.
