What it is
A balanced line cable with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS male plug on each end. The tip carries the hot signal, the ring carries the cold signal and the sleeve carries the shield, so two balanced devices stay balanced from output to input. It connects audio interfaces to studio monitors, mixers to outboard processors and keyboards with balanced outputs to mixers. Five lengths run from a short 0.3 m patch length to 6 m.
It shares its twisted-pair cable build with our XLR microphone cable, which keeps a retailer's balanced cable range consistent.
Who it's for
- Music retailers and distributors stocking private-label studio cables.
- Studio and home-recording brands bundling cables with monitors or interfaces.

FAQ
Can I use this cable as a guitar cable?
It will pass a guitar signal, but it is designed for balanced line-level connections. For guitars and basses, a TS instrument cable is the usual choice. A TRS cable is also used for stereo signals, such as headphone extensions, because the tip and ring can carry left and right.
Do I need balanced cables for studio monitors?
If both the interface output and the monitor input are balanced TRS, a balanced TRS cable keeps the connection balanced, which helps reject interference over longer runs. If either end is unbalanced, the connection behaves as unbalanced.
Is the 0.3 m length meant for patchbays?
Yes. The short length suits patchbays and racks where gear sits close together. Other short lengths can be made as a customization.
