Hosa GPM-103 3.5 mm TRS to 1/4 in TRS
The Hosa GPM-103 is a compact, passive adapter that bridges a mini stereo 3.5 mm plug to a 1/4" TRS stereo jack. Designed for quick headphone routing, it lets you listen on pro gear without the need for power or electronics—just plug in and go.
Who is this for?
Musicians, producers, students, and remote workers who frequently move between consumer headphones and equipment with 1/4" TRS inputs will appreciate its simplicity. It streamlines setups in studios, rehearsal spaces, classrooms, and on-the-go gigs by removing the need for bulky adapters or multiple cables.
How it works
Attach your 3.5 mm TRS-equipped device (like headphones or a portable player) to the 3.5 mm end, then connect the 1/4" TRS end to your mixer, audio interface, keyboard, or other gear with a stereo 1/4" input. The signal remains unaltered by circuitry—it's a direct, passive connection that preserves stereo channels.
