Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this connector balanced, and if not will it pick up ground noise ?, Thank you

A: Un-balanced: The three foot REAN 3.5mm TRS to Dual 1/4 TS Pro Stereo Breakout Cable by Hosa Technology is designed to connect portable audio devices to pro audio gear with unbalanced 1/4 inputs. It's an ideal cable for connecting MP3 players, tablets, laptops and more to professional sound boards and DJ mixers.

Q: 2. ... each TRS connecter in this cable??

A: Hi Jose, The two "Y" ends of this cable meet in the center. In the case of the 6-foot cable, they would meet roughly at 3 feet. This was a change we made after the product was released. That means models that were previously purchased may be different and have a shorter split. Thank you for considering Hosa for your connectivity needs. Best regards, Hosa Support Team

Q: 3. As to length: what is the spread-distance of the two XLRs from the Y-junction of the wires?

A: The split is not glued together, so, it's roughly half the length of the cable (7.5'). If you extended each line as far as it could go, you could get 15' between the left and the right xlr end. I ended up having to tape the split together to make the cable more manageable

Q: 4. My JBL audio speakers are separated 43 inches approx. What is the distance between each TRS connecter in this cable??

A: This cable will not seperate this will not work with your speakers setup

Q: 5. What is the distance of the spread of 2 XLRs from the Y-junction?

A: It splits in the middle, so approximately 5 feet on each end, meaning the spread would be approximately 10 feet. Best regards, Hosa Support.

Q: 6. Will this cable work if I try to connect my Blackmagic Cinema Camera 2.5K or Production Camera 4K to a Zoom H6/Tascam DR-100 Mrk III for in camera audio capture while using these devices as microphones?

A: There are a few things that you'll need to do in order to run audio from a Tascam or Zoom recorder into one of these Blackmagic cinema cameras. After testing, we've discovered the cameras only support a true balanced audio signal. You may use the Hosa HMP-006Y cable to connect from an audio recorder into a line balancer such as the Ebtech LLS-2 (B&H# EBLLS2), at which point the audio signal will be compatible with what the camera is expecting. You would also need two balanced 1/4 cables. With all this said and done, frankly the best audio you will get will be the audio being recorded directly into the Zoom or Tascam recorder. If you plan on using the Blackmagic audio as a scratch audio track for reference, then you may consider moving forward with my suggestions.

Q: 7. How will the tracks record if this was used with a DJI Mic system (two mics and one receiver) connected to a Zoom recorder via 3.5mm to dual XLR?

A: In theory it should work. The DJI receiver has a 3.5mm unbalanced TRS jack so that should split ok to two separate channels on your Zoom with this adapter. I've not tried that personally, but seems like it would work.

Q: 8. are these connectors serviceable?

A: All REAN connectors are serviceable, which covers our entire Pro Series line. Best regards, Hosa Support.

Q: 9. how long is the length of cable from the XLR connectors to where they meet?

A: Hi Greg, the length of cable between the XLR connection to where they both meet is approximately 16 inches.

Q: 10. Can I use this to connect the Rode Wireless Go II Receiver to two XLR inputs on a Zoom 6 audio recorder?

A: Yes, a cable like that can work to connect to two XLR mic inputs. The wireless Go II can use stereo output to split each channel, to be recorded on separate tracks on the Zoom F6 or H6.
