Audio cable Hosa 5-pin DIN to 5-pin DIN, male–male, 1.52 m, black

The Hosa 5-pin DIN to 5-pin DIN audio cable, 1.52 m, male–male in black provides a reliable analog interconnect for equipment that uses 5-pin DIN and MIDI connections. Designed for discrete 5-pin wiring and full compatibility with all MIDI standards including SysEx, this cable is intended for short interconnects in home studios, live rigs, and electronic instrument setups. The cable construction combines oxygen-free copper conductors, an OFC spiral shield, and nickel-plated DIN plugs to maintain signal integrity and resist interference while remaining flexible for routing and patching.

Advantages

The cable uses oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors to support clear signal transfer and low loss. Nickel-plated 5-pin DIN plugs provide mechanical durability and reliable contact. An OFC spiral shield reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference while preserving cable flexibility for neat routing. The 1.52 m length is suitable for connecting adjacent devices or short patch bay connections without excess slack. The black PVC jacket offers basic protection against wear and a neutral appearance that blends into most studio or stage environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting MIDI-compatible keyboards, controllers and sound modules
• Patching between DIN-equipped audio devices in home or project studios
• Linking sequencers, drum machines and synthesizers that use 5-pin DIN
• Short-length interconnects on stage rigs and pedalboard setups

• Wiring: Discrete 5-pin wiring compatible with MIDI SysEx

How to use

Connect one 5-pin DIN male plug to the DIN or MIDI output of the source device and the other plug to the DIN or MIDI input of the receiving device. Ensure connectors are fully seated to secure contact and avoid strain on connector bodies; use cable routing or ties to prevent sharp bends near the plugs. For devices with labelled DIN ports, match OUT to IN to ensure correct MIDI data flow. Power down equipment before inserting or removing cables when possible to prevent electrical transients.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1.52 m cable for close-proximity connections where short, discrete wiring and low interference are important. Avoid running the cable in parallel with mains power wiring for extended distances; cross power lines at right angles if necessary. Inspect connector contacts periodically and replace the cable if mechanical damage or intermittent connections occur.
