Professional Insert Cable | 1/4" TRS to Dual 1/4" TS (4m)
Connect Outboard Effects to Your Mixing Console with Ease
This Hosa Pro insert cable is designed to connect an external effects processor (like a compressor or equalizer) to an insert jack on a mixing console. This "Y-cable" splits the single TRS jack into two TS plugs, allowing you to create a dedicated effects loop for a single channel. Engineered with high-quality components for a transparent signal path, it's an essential tool for both studio recording and live sound.
Key Features & Benefits
- Creates an Effects Loop: Properly splits a single 1/4" TRS insert jack into separate send (output) and return (input) lines using two 1/4" TS plugs.
- Pristine Audio Quality: Built with 24 AWG Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors and an OFC spiral shield to ensure a clean, transparent, and noise-free signal transfer.
- Durable & Reliable: Features heavy-duty molded connectors with robust strain relief, making it ideal for the rigors of frequent use in permanent installations or with entry-level mixing consoles.
- Generous Length: The 4-meter (approx. 13.1 ft) length provides ample reach for connecting a mixer to an outboard effects rack.
Ideal Applications
This cable is the standard solution for connecting outboard gear to a mixer:
- Connecting a compressor or gate to a channel's insert point for dynamic control.
- Adding an external equalizer to a specific channel or bus for precise tonal shaping.
- Integrating other analog effects processors into your mixing workflow.
