GLS Audio 1/4" Plugs for Patch Cables, Balanced Cables, Snakes - TRS Male Stereo 1/4 Inch Phono 6.3mm Phone Plug Bulk - 4 PACK

I wired these trs connectors for a patchbay, they worked well for my application, great price!.

I make fair amount of audio cables for myself. This 1/4 inch TRS plug is pretty good. The tabs takes solder easily. The ground tab is fairly stiff. You want a stiff tab, since it works as a strain relief. You probably want to wrap electric tape between the two signal tabs and the ground tab. They are fairly close. If you just leave them as is, they could touch.Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.

These weigh-in at approximately 30% lighter than pro TRS Switchcraft connectors do, so they are not nearly as robust, but they are functional nonetheless. Most of the thinness is reflected in the shield and inside shield connector, but connectors stay sturdy on axis and don't spin or wobble like other cheap connectors do. They solder pretty easily.Best used for a more semi-permanent install, like studio, in a rack, broadcast, and so on. I would not recommend them for plug-and-unplug heavy road use outside of a rack.

First, I've been doing Radio/Electronics as both a hobby and a profession for over 60 years. In that time I've made more than my share of cables, audio, RF, you name it. (Wish I had a dollar in my pocket for every cable I've made or repaired in the past 60+ years).I recently added a Behringer 12 Chan iaudio mixer to my Ham Radio and Shortwave receiver setup. Intent, route the audio from ALL my radios AND the computer to the Fender Passport Pro 150 Stereo PA system that serves as the radio/music room audio system. "Stock" cables wouldn't do as my transmitters would get into the sound system when I'm talking (NOTHING like 120Watts of audio feedback between the speakers and the radio microphone in a 14x20 foot radio room).***********************************************************Since RF filtered audio cables aren't the 'norm' I had to make my own with double shielded cable, and since I had to buy the 1/4" TRS plugs anyway, chose the GLS plugs for the task. I've used these before (bought at the local music store at a higher price) for my guitar & piano cords so I was aware of their quality (cheap plugs often have connection problems between the solder lug and the body or tip of the plug, makes for erratic operation.NOT SO with these plugs, they're the good stuff, and there was enough room in the body to install two small 1/8 Watt resistors and a capacitor for the RF filters. The results were nice "RF Quiet" connections between the radio, mixer & amplifier.I still have a few left but I WILL be buying some more as I'm always making/repairing cables for the church and other musicians.

A nice value.I have found that making my own cable using quality components not results in a higher quality and value than when I purchased premade cables.It makes it easier to know that you actually are getting your money's worth. Many premade cables are made with very low quality copper. I discovered this when I went to repair a cheap cable I had. No matter how much I stripped the wire, there was no shiny copper to be found.So, I purchased a bulk roll of canare quad mic cable, and quality connectors like the GLS, and started making my own.Now, I don;t have coils of excess cables everywhere from premade cables that are too long.I just spool of enough cable, and then make my own.

I had a need to make some 1/4" Patch Cables for out PA System at my church. I tossed the idea of just buying ready-made jumpers, or make them myself. I do KNOW how I solder and the quality of cables I strive to make. I purchased these 1/4" TRS plugs for my purpose. They are very well made and soldered easily. The cable clamp was actually heavier gauge metal than I suspected it was. Again, it was quality.I would definitely recommend these to anyone wishing to use TRS connectors on their projects. No, they are not gold-plated, but then again... some of the plated ones I have used in the past did not strike me as a good quality plug in construction. I have actually had connection problems with a couple of gold plated ones I purchased a few years ago. NOT purchased from this vendor!Another thing I noticed with these plugs is the Fiberglass insulator in the construction. I've had many over the years that use plastic.... low temperature style and have had them melt while soldering them. Also they tend to get loose between the conductors after a few years.Visit the GLS Site as well!

In the pic, left one is GLS and the other is Switchcraft. As you can see, the original Switchcraft(Made in USA & S. Korea OEM) has a larger/thicker tip and thinner shim for ring and sleeve isolation. It's not much of a difference and GLS plugs make contacts well with nice fit, but I wish they make their products more like original Switchraft. But again, for the money, this is a good deal.
