Audio cable Hosa HSX-010 — 3.05 m, 6.35 mm TRS (male) to 3-pin XLR (male), black

Hosa HSX-010 is a 3.05 m audio cable that connects balanced phone (6.35 mm TRS) outputs to 3-pin XLR inputs. The cable uses 24 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors and a 90% OFC spiral shield inside a black outer jacket. Equipped with REAN® connectors, it is intended for studio and live sound use where reliable signal transfer between instruments, mixers and outboard gear is required. Depending on wiring, the cable can carry balanced or unbalanced signals and is suitable for touring and other live-sound applications.

Advantages

The HSX-010 provides improved signal clarity through 24 AWG OFC conductors and reduced interference thanks to a 90% OFC spiral shield that offers effective EMI and RFI rejection while remaining flexible. REAN® connectors deliver dependable mechanical durability and consistent contact for secure connections. The 3.05 m length offers reach suitable for stage and studio setups, and the black jacket provides a discreet appearance that integrates with common audio equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting instruments with 6.35 mm TRS outputs to mixing consoles or preamps with XLR inputs
• Routing balanced or unbalanced signals in studio recording setups
• Stage and touring signal runs between outboard gear and FOH or monitor systems
• Temporary patching and signal routing in rehearsal rooms and live venues

How to use

Plug the 6.35 mm TRS male connector into the source device's balanced phone output and insert the 3-pin XLR male connector into the destination device's XLR input. Ensure both devices are powered down or at low volume when connecting to avoid thumps or transient noise. Confirm wiring compatibility (balanced TRS to XLR pin assignments) when integrating with gear that requires specific pin configurations. After connection, raise levels gradually and check for proper signal and absence of hum or interference.

Usage recommendations

For best results in live and studio environments, route the HSX-010 away from mains power cables and high-current lighting runs to minimize induced noise. Use secure cable management and strain relief at connectors to protect the REAN® connectors and cable terminations during frequent setup and teardown. Verify device grounding and polarity if you detect unexpected hum or phase issues.
