Hosa Pro 1/4" TRS to Dual TS Insert Cable (3m / 9.9ft)
The Essential Link for Your Effects Loop & Outboard Gear
Part of the Hosa Pro lineup, this insert cable is designed to solve common interfacing problems by allowing you to connect outboard effects processors to your mixing console. This cable sends a signal from a channel's insert jack to an effects unit and returns it to the same channel, creating a seamless effects loop. Engineered for transparent audio reproduction, it's an ideal solution for entry-level mixing consoles and permanent studio installations.
