Detail 01
1/4-inch TRS end
Tip-ring-sleeve is a balanced connection, so hum pickup stays low even with the cable near power supplies.

MogamiGold Studio 1/4" TRS-Female XLR Cable 3 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Three-foot studio cable, 1/4-inch TRS on one end and female XLR on the other. For short patches and running a mic into a 1/4-inch input.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Running a microphone into a balanced 1/4-inch input
- Short patches from an XLR output into rack gear
- Desk setups where a longer cable would just coil up
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Any run past three feet
- Feeding an XLR input — that needs a male XLR end
- TS-only gear, where the balanced wiring gains nothing
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
Female XLR end
Accepts a male XLR plug, so it takes signal out of a microphone, preamp, mixer, or interface output.
Detail 03
3 ft length
Patch length. Fine inside a rack or across a desk; too short if the two boxes aren't side by side.
Detail 04
Single channel
One cable, one signal path. A stereo pair needs two, and multitrack work needs one per channel.
Detail 05
Black jacket
Disappears behind a rack, but gives you no color coding — label both ends if several run together.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Three feet is patch length; measure the run before assuming it reaches
- 02The 1/4-inch end must land in a TRS jack to stay balanced
- 03A microphone into a line input will need preamp gain
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I plug a microphone into this?
Yes. The female XLR accepts a mic's male output. Remember mic level is far quieter than line level, so the 1/4-inch end should feed a preamp or mic input.
02Is it balanced?
Both ends are balanced connectors — XLR and TRS. Run it into a balanced jack and the shield and differential pair work as intended.
03Will it work in a TS jack?
It will fit physically, but the ring gets shorted to sleeve and the connection runs unbalanced, losing the noise rejection you paid for.
04Why is it only three feet?
It's a patch cable for gear sitting next to each other. Short runs keep clutter down inside a rack or on a desk.
