Connects audio interface balanced outputs to studio monitors using standard 1/4-inch TRS connectors. Carries a balanced differential signal identical in noise rejection to XLR — the connector difference is physical, not electrical.

Notes & Compatibility
Always verify TRS (3-conductor, 2 black rings) not TS instrument cable (2-conductor, 1 ring). Using TS between balanced gear defeats noise rejection and can cause ground hum. Hosa CPP-203 or Mogami Gold are reliable for home studio use. For desktop setups with monitors 1-2m from the interface, 1m cables prevent clutter.
