Audio Connection Adapter
This Hosa GXJ235 adapter connects a stereo 1/4" TRS plug to a male 3-pin XLR socket. It links balanced or unbalanced audio devices such as mixers, interfaces and microphones. The 4.500 length provides a short, direct connection. The unit weighs .1 and is sold as a single piece.
Users and Limitations
Suits engineers, musicians and videographers who need to join a 1/4" TRS source to an XLR input. Not suited for users requiring a male 1/4" to female XLR configuration. Buyers who want a longer cable run should look at a full-length cable instead. It does not convert signal levels or impedance.
Connector Specification
The defining spec is the female stereo 1/4" TRS to male 3-pin XLR gender and wiring. This determines whether the adapter matches the two ports you must join. Verify both sockets on your gear before ordering. The 235 model number identifies this exact wiring arrangement.

Questions about this item
How often should the 1/4" TRS jack or XLR pins be inspected or replaced on the GXJ235?
Inspect the contacts whenever you notice crackling or intermittent signal; the adapter has no moving parts, so replacement is only needed if a pin bends or the housing cracks.
What is the first limitation you hit when running a stereo signal through this 4.500-inch adapter all day?
The unbalanced 1/4" TRS side is the limiting factor — long cable runs after the adapter can pick up noise, so keep the total path short for clean audio.
Does the GXJ235 generate any heat or noise when used continuously in a live rig?
No, it is a passive metal adapter with no electronics, so it produces zero heat and adds no noise regardless of how long it stays connected.
