Hosa Technology 2x Unbalanced XLR3F to 1/4" Mono Cable 2 ft .6 m

Two-foot XLR-to-¼-inch pair

This pair of unbalanced cables links a 3-pin XLR female output to a mono ¼-inch male input. Each lead is two feet (.6 m) long, keeping patch bays and desktop interfaces tidy. The wiring follows the common pin-2-hot convention so the XLR hot signal reaches the ¼-inch tip directly. They suit microphones, mixers and audio interfaces that use this connector combination.

Pin-2-hot wiring and molded plugs

The pin-2-hot arrangement matches the most widespread industry standard, so the cable works with typical balanced outputs wired for unbalanced use without an adapter. Molded ¼-inch plugs and XLR shells lock the conductors in place, reducing the chance of intermittent contact when gear is moved. A flexible jacket resists kinking during repeated coil-and-uncoil cycles on stage or in the studio.

Check your gear uses unbalanced XLR outputs

Verify that the source device actually presents an unbalanced signal on its XLR pins; a balanced output will not sum correctly through this wiring. Confirm the destination expects a mono ¼-inch TS connection rather than a stereo TRS jack. Ensure the two-foot reach spans the distance between your mounted devices without tension. Buyers needing balanced line-level runs or longer spans should look elsewhere.
