Monoprice Premier Series 1/4 Inch (TRS) Male to Male Cable Cord - 1.5 Feet- Black 16AWG (Gold Plated)

This is a fantastic TRS cable - by far, the lowest ohms of any cable I have purchased. I use it with a Variax modeling guitar that uses the RING conductor to supply power to internal computer. With ALL other reasonably priced cables I tried, their resistance reduced the voltage just enough that the guitar's computer kept dropping out (internal circuitry ensures the supply voltage is within a small range or it shuts everything down). This cable has larger wire and gold plated connectors to ensure low ohms. It is bright and clear so the capacitance must be low too. Has a very sturdy feel and performance equal to far more expensive cables. The guitar pictured is a Variax 500 with magnetic pickups I added to provide even more versatility to the internal computer.

The item arrived to me very quickly when I needed it. As for the product itself, it was a very well made, sturdy cord. I needed them for my new speakers, and the cords have been great so far. The sound itself is also good. Product was easy to install.

well made, flexible, great sound quality, length as ordered. Solid-fitting plugs with no wobble- I recommend!

Monoprice always work, and are way less expensive than some other, "Top Brand" cables.

Great product. Solid. I use it to link my headphone amp to my interface for recording and it's been great.

These cables from Monoprice are much thicker than I would have imagined just from the pics available on the sales page. The end points are solid, clicking nicely into wherever I need them to plug in. The one factor which prevents me from rating the cable a full five stars deals with the way the jack screws into the outer sheath at the end of the wire. It does not take much to unscrew the end piece, as evidenced a number of times when inserting and then removing the TRS ends from hard to reach places. I found that I would accidentally unscrew the sheath which left the innards showing. With that being said, I would still heartily recommend these cables just realize they are best plugged in and left alone.

This is a really nice cable. I would guess I will have this for my lifetime. At 16 AWG, it's very hefty. The connector housing is all metal. Has a small spring at the base of the housing to keep tension off the cable when being bent at a severe angle. The connector is gold-plated. The connector housing can be unscrewed if for some reason you ever need to work on it. I doubt you will. The connections themselves are actually further protected inside a little clear plastic tube which extends down into those springs that I mentioned. You can see the soldering, and it looks great. Like I said, I expect this to be a lifetime cable. This is the TRS (balanced/stereo), but I have their TS (unbalanced/mono) from the same product line as well. Build quality is identical.

I already left a similar review for the XLR to XLR model, but this 1/4 to 1/4 inch TRS one of the same brand works the same for solving the ground-loop noise problems I was having, so I wanted to post it here too for those who think to buy these ones: I'm very impressed by these cables. I moved to a new place and began having strange noises / hisses / hums / continues beeps in my professional audio interface inputs, which after investigating this issue online made me came to the conclusion that it's actually called "ground-loop" noise coming out from the home AC outlet and into my audio gear that is connected to it. At the beginning and before knowing that it's a ground-loop problem, I tried replacing the cables, but I naively used standard cheap ones from the local store and kept having these noises. Then I thought that it's my professional yet old 32-bit PCI audio interface card that might just signals me of its age, or that it's perhaps noise coming out from my PC motherboard to the PCI card. At this point I decided to upgrade to an external USB-C audio interface that would just sit externally from my PC and transfer audio from it via a USB-C cable, instead of analog ones (although the external audio interface still requires analog cables to connect to the speakers). I was hoping that the issue will go away and went buying one of the famous professional USB-C audio interfaces out there, which costed me about $1,300 USD including taxes and local profit of the local store in my country. However, I hooked up everything together (with the same and different cheap cables) and still had noise issues - different and less noticeable noise, as todays audio gear are perhaps more aware of such issues and have internal components that reduce varies noise problems. While the previous hisses / hum noise had gone, I was still having a continues beeping noise that was still there all along and more noticeable when I increased my speakers volume or used headphones. I almost went and ordered a power conditioner unit, but before that I convinced myself to order some high quality cables off Amazon and hoped for the best. I ordered the shortest 1.5ft ones as my audio gear are stacked and very close to each other. These cables are not cheap (I'd give you that) but thankfully, they actually SOLVED ALL OF THE NOISE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING! I connected them between my audio synth stereo-mix output to the audio interface inputs and increased my speakers all the way to the maximum - at first I thought that no signal is coming out since it was 100% quiet(!), and then I played something on my synth and BAM! The high volume hit me. I was so amazed of the quiet signal and just couldn't believe that all I had to do is to replace the cables with high quality ones. These are truly a game changer and I'm so glad that I went in that route and bought them. As I mentioned above, I first tested the XLR to XLR model, and after finding that they solved the ground-loop noises issue, I ordered 8 pieces of these 1/4 inch ones to connect all of the 5.1 channels from my audio synth to the 8 individual inputs of my audio interface for recording the individual 5.1 channels arrangement at the same time. Both the XLR to XLR and the 1/4-inch to 1/4-inch TRS models are "balanced" cables which work the same for cancelling ground-loop noises. Keep in mind that 1/4 inch TS cables (which are usually used for guitars) and 1/4 inch TRS cables are very different, not only because TS is mono and TRS is stereo, but only TRS are "balanced cables" that separate the ground noise from your audio, as its has a dedicated ground pin from the signal, which is the sleeve; TS stands for "Tip-Sleeve" where the Tip is the L (left) channel and the Sleeve is the ground, and TRS means "Tip-Ring-Sleeve" where the Tip is the L (left) channel, the Ring is the R (right) channel, and the Sleeve is the ground. The XLR cables are working the same way as TRS cables, as they also have 3 pins in the connector. That said, cheap XLR/TRS cables would probably give you noise, so make sure that you use high quality cables if a clean input is what you're looking for. I'm not regretting for getting a new audio interface as I would eventually had to upgrade anyway, but at least now I'm more experienced and more aware that ground loop problems could be solved with high quality cables.

used it to replace my mono cables btw the interface and my yamaha hs8's....difference is night and day........cables are really upto spec as described......recomended for all studio use.5 stars

ممتاز جدا جدا جدا

Construction is pretty good with heat shrink used in the connector. The cable itself is very flexible. Gold flashing is thin as expected.

These are excellent quality cables. No regrets.

High quality cable for an affordable price. Recommended!
