Hosa Pro 1/4" TRS to Dual RCA Insert Cable (1m)
Connect Your Mixer's Inserts to Effects with RCA Jacks
This specialty insert cable is designed to connect a channel insert on a mixing console to an effects processor or other outboard gear that uses RCA phono jacks. This allows you to create a seamless effects loop, sending a signal out from your mixer and returning it to the same channel. Engineered for a transparent signal path, it is an ideal and cost-effective solution for home studios, entry-level mixing consoles, and permanent installations where clean, short cable runs are desired.
