Hosa Technology STX-120M 1/4 inch TRS to XLR3M Balanced Interconnect Cable 20 feet

20-Foot Balanced Audio Cable

The Hosa STX-120M is a 20-foot balanced interconnect cable built for DJs, musicians and audio enthusiasts. It links professional gear with a 3-pin XLR male connector on one end and a stereo 1/4-inch TRS male plug on the other. The moulded construction is designed to withstand regular studio and stage use. It suits setups that need a single long run between mixer and amplifier.

Signal Reach And Connector Limits

At 20 feet the cable covers typical stage or studio distances without requiring an extension. The balanced XLR-to-TRS wiring rejects common-mode noise on long runs, but the fixed length cannot be shortened or joined without extra adapters. Users needing multiple shorter segments or a different connector combination will need a separate cable. The stereo TRS end carries a balanced mono signal, not two independent channels.

Passive Construction And Power Profile

As a passive copper cable it draws no power and adds no active circuitry to the signal path. Noise performance depends on the connected equipment’s grounding and balancing rather than on the cable itself. The moulded strain relief protects the solder joints during repeated plugging and unplugging. No external power supply or driver installation is required.
