Hosa DTP803 Balanced Snake DB25 to 1/4" TRS - (9.75 Feet) (Black)

I have 2 of these hooked to my Apogee Symphony MKII. They are low noise and do not effect the quality of the sound as I perceive it.

I spent all night last night trying to figure out why I was having channels coming in at different levels in my stereo (as opposed to mono) equipment (in this case, a chameleon lab 7721 compressor and an SSL G-COMP).I went through cable after cable after cable, this morning I wake up and try using a different card in my DBX patch bay, that didn't work but I noticed that while maneuvering the cable around the signal cut in and out, suggesting it was a problem with the cable in the snake. Then I moved everything over to a different patch point just in case and lo and behold, it "solved" the issue (with channel 8 still being way too quiet), but even now the patch points that I changed to ended up mismatched, albeit to a lesser extreme (see attached image).Bottom line: don't cheap out on cables. What's the point of even having outboard gear if you can't rely on the quality of the cable.

Our church wanted to repurpose some ten-year-old Aviom gear as an audio digital snake for our video streaming. We found an Aviom Output Module on eBay to pair with our input module. The Aviom Output Module has two, eight-channel DB25 sockets for the audio. The Hosa DTP803 completed the linkage beautifully. We're only using eight channels currently, but would be confident in using the DTP803 to complete the full 16 channels.The DTP803 seems stout enough for a fixed-placement situation - it may not be sturdy enough for repeated temporary usage. The cables entering the 1/4" plugs have no strain relief. In our usage, they will remain in a fixed position. I used a bit of velcro to anchor the snake cable to the mixer, relieving any stress on the 1/4" connections.

The shrink wrap is not quite as tight or durable as I would like if I were on the road with these, but I'm not. And in a fixed installation I can't think of what's not to like here. They came in as close a length as I could expect (I didn't have to wire my own so that's a bonus!), the connectors are durable for their intended purpose (infrequent plugging/unplugging). Construction seems fine. I wound up buying three for a 24 channel board and couldn't be happier for the price!

I usually steer clear of Hosa stuff, but there was no way I was spending $200+ for the Mogami version of this DB25 cable. Usually, you're paying more for things like better shielding, but I'm getting no interference with these Hosa DB25s. The TRS side feels just a little flimsy, but it doesn't matter to me since these live in my studio rack in a patchbay and won't be frequently connected / disconnected. If you don't handle your gear like a caveman you should be fine.Tonewise, I'd be surprised if you could tell a difference. They sound great. Buy with confidence.

I use three of them for connecting mic preamps and interface. They work without any problem. I like to have shorter cable version without rubber cover to avoid cables congestions.

These snakes are better and cheaper than the other "budget" snakes. Connectors are solid and feel like they'll last quite awhile.Okay, Hosa isn't known to be a great cable company, but don't they pretty much make everything you need? Don't they pretty much work the way you need them to? Don't we all have a bunch of their cables? Yes, of course.The color coding system of these snakes makes sense to have in a dimly lit studio crammed in behind your racks. It allows for quickly plugging in your gear in sequence and getting set up faster. Also, you don't have to worry about the little numbers rubbing off. I think they're great. I'll just go ahead and order some more. In 3…2…1.

Offered the right DB connection for my Presonus Rack mount mixer at a very reasonable price , no issues yet.

No problems at all, well built, cables clearly numbered. Excellent for the price.

When I saw this product I was very skeptical. I didn’t think it would work at all, but I bought anyways. For a few days, waited, but surprising... it came quite fast. Faster than I ever expected. After plugging in all cables I turn on the machine and I hear sound! Hooray! I jump for joy and dance for a while to the music and became very happy. I think this cable will make your life better and you will hear high quality sound emanate into your life.

Installed a bunch of these on my Antelope Orion32 and it does the trick. You could pay 5-10x as much for really expensive ones, and I suppose if you were running a million dollar studio then you'd be right to do so but in any other situation these do just fine.

El producto cumple su función. Hosa hace cables de una calidad muy buena. Utilizo esta manguera en estudio y tras varios años de uso no me quejo de su calidad ni de su desempeño. Lo recomiendo

Worked out of the box, no noise, no broken ends. Great product!
