Monoprice 105496 6ft 1/4" TS Male Audio Cable

The Monoprice 105496 Premier Series 1/4" TRS cable is built for reliable audio connections between instruments, mixers, audio interfaces, and studio monitors. At its core are 16AWG stranded pure copper conductors — a heavier gauge than the 20–22AWG wiring found in many budget cables — which reduces resistance and helps preserve signal integrity across the full 6-foot length. A copper braid shield with 97.5% coverage surrounds the conductors, providing a strong barrier against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference that can introduce hum or noise into a signal chain.

The TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connectors on each end are gold plated for corrosion resistance and consistent electrical contact, even after repeated plugging and unplugging. This three-conductor design gives the cable dual functionality: it can carry a balanced mono signal between professional audio gear or serve as an unbalanced stereo patch cable where needed. The robust construction and Monoprice's lifetime warranty make this a practical choice for musicians, podcasters, and home studio owners who want dependable signal transfer without overspending on cable runs.
