Audio gender changer Hosa GHP-105 — 6.35mm TRS (male) to 3.5mm TRS (female), gold

Hosa GHP-105 is a compact gender changer that converts a 6.35 mm (1/4") TRS plug to a 3.5 mm TRS jack while maintaining left-right stereo signal paths. The adapter features gold-plated contacts to help reduce corrosion and maintain reliable audio contact when connecting headphones, instruments or line-level devices between professional and consumer audio equipment. Its small form factor makes it convenient for studio patching, live rehearsals and portable setups where space is limited.

Advantages

The gold-plated connectors provide improved conductivity and resistance to tarnish compared with unplated contacts, helping to preserve signal integrity. The gender changer preserves stereo channels so stereo headphones and balanced stereo outputs remain correctly routed. Its compact, single-piece construction offers a simple, tool-free solution for adapting between 6.35 mm and 3.5 mm stereo jacks.

Suitable for

• Connecting headphones with a 3.5 mm plug to professional 6.35 mm headphone outputs
• Adapting consumer audio players or mobile devices to studio or instrument input/output chains
• Temporary patching in rehearsal rooms, live rigs and mobile recording setups
• Linking stereo line-level equipment where size conversion is required

Key specifications

• Input connector: 6.35 mm TRS (male)
• Output connector: 3.5 mm TRS (female)
• Contact finish: gold-plated contacts
• Signal type: stereo (left and right channels preserved)

How to use

Insert the 6.35 mm TRS male plug from your source device into the adapter, then plug a 3.5 mm TRS headphone or cable into the female end. Ensure a firm, fully seated connection at both ends to avoid intermittent contact. The adapter does not require power or configuration and can be used immediately for passive signal routing between compatible stereo jacks.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter for short-term connections and portable setups; avoid placing the adapter under strain or tension at the connection point. For permanent installations or where mechanical stability is critical, consider a cable with the required connector types or a panel-mounted solution. Clean contacts occasionally with appropriate contact cleaner if exposed to dust or humidity to maintain optimal performance.
