Hosa GMP-113 cable gender changer — 6.35 mm TS to 3.5 mm TS, black/silver

Hosa GMP-113 cable gender changer converts a 6.35 mm TS (1/4") plug to a 3.5 mm TS (1/8") plug, providing a compact solution for adapting unbalanced mono connections between instruments, cables, and consumer audio devices. The adapter features a straight, mono signal path in a black and silver finish and is intended for use where a larger phone plug must mate with a smaller mini phone jack.

Advantages

The adapter delivers a simple, passive conversion without the need for additional power or signal processing, preserving the original mono TS connection. Its compact metal housing offers a durable physical interface for repeated insertions, and the straightforward design minimizes signal path complexity. The gender changer supports quick patching and reduces the necessity to carry bulky cables or custom adapters when connecting devices with mismatched TS jack sizes.

Suitable for

• Connecting electric guitars or basses to devices with 3.5 mm TS inputs using a 6.35 mm TS plug
• Adapting keyboards or audio interfaces with 6.35 mm mono outputs to consumer equipment with 3.5 mm mono jacks
• Patching mono instrument cables to portable recorders, headphone amps, or small mixers with mini TS inputs

Key specifications

• Connector A: 6.35 mm TS (1/4" mono phone plug)
• Connector B: 3.5 mm TS (1/8" mono mini phone plug)
• Signal type: Unbalanced mono (TS)
• Construction: Straight inline gender changer
• Finish: Black and silver metal housing
• Intended use: Passive adapter for mono instrument and consumer audio connections

How to use

Insert the 6.35 mm TS plug of your instrument cable into the 6.35 mm side of the Hosa GMP-113, and then plug the 3.5 mm TS end of the adapter into the target device's mini mono jack. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain a reliable contact. The adapter is passive; no configuration or power is required. Use it only for mono TS connections—do not attempt to convert stereo TRS signals with this adapter.

Usage recommendations

For the best signal integrity, use the adapter for short-term connections or when running into devices designed for unbalanced mono signals. Avoid using this adapter as a permanent junction in high-movement environments where connector strain could cause intermittent contact. Verify that the destination input expects an unbalanced mono signal to prevent mismatched wiring or audio issues.
