Nickel-Plated 5-Pin DIN Connectors    Single Cable Assembly    Strain Relief, Orange & Gray for In/Out    Send and Receive MIDI Data

The MIDI protocol allows communication between a computer and a digital synthesizer (keyboard, drum machine, etc.) by transmitting how the notes are to be produced. For example, commands like note-on, note-off, pitch shift, and tempo create much smaller files and more realistic music, relying on the synthesizer to create all audible sounds.

This tandem MIDI cable allows sending and receiving MIDI information through one cable assembly. Orange and gray color-coded connectors differentiate between cables, making hookups easier.

Each of the five pins on the connectors of these MIDI cables is wired to support all MIDI functions, including uploading and downloading data and relaying SysEx information.

The injection-molded connector bodies with built-in strain relief are rugged and affordable, and the stranded-copper conductors are surrounded by a dense copper shield to ensure interference-resistant data transfer.

These cables are available in a variety of lengths to suit virtually any application.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this cable connect the Audient Id4 output to iLoud micro monitor speakers?

A: Yes, the Hosa Technology HPR-005X2 Dual 1/4" TS Male to Dual RCA Male Stereo Audio Cable can be used to connect the outputs of the Audient iD4 MKII Desktop 2x2 USB Type-C Audio Interface to the inputs of the IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitors.

Q: 2. Can I use these to connect a pair of powered "pro" speakers to a regular AVR receiver?

A: You can only connect powered speakers to an AVR receiver using the pre-out or zone 2 line outputs, but definitely not to the standard speaker outputs on the AVR receiver. The AVR receiver has a built-in amplifier that sends power to passive speakers through the standard speaker outputs and if you use the standard speaker outputs on the receiver, it will cause permanent damage to powered speakers since they have their own built-in amplifier and are not designed to receive power from another amplifier. Please feel free to contact us by phone or through live chat if you would like further assistance with your setup.

Q: 3. What about 48volt phantom power? Do the mics still get enough juice?

A: The Hosa Technology YXM-101.5 XLR Female to Dual XLR Male Audio Y-Cable is not designed to split signals from microphones directly and therefore may not provide adequate power to a microphone requiring 48 volts.

Q: 4. How far do the two 1/4 ends reach before they are fastened together into one cable? I need to come out of the back of a recording interface using the RCA ends. Then using the 1/4 ends, into a pair of monitors which are spread about 4 feet apart. Will the 1/4 ends of this cable reach? Thank you very much.

A: They split about 6 from the ends - but they may easily be split farther apart by gently cutting the jackets with a razor knife. Warranty is voided by this common modification however.

Q: 5. Can you extend the 1/4" plug with a female to male 1/4" extension cable? If so, how long can it be?

A: Yes. you can use extension cables for the 1/4" TS connectors. The maximum length of the extension cables would really depend on what type of devices you will be connecting from and to. Up to 25' could be OK if you use good quality cables.

Q: 6. If the signal is sent to two powered studio monitors, how far apart can they be from each other?

A: The monitors can be 3 feet apart if the cable is 3 feet long. I'm not sure that answers your question, because your question is a bit unclear -

Q: 7. Will this work with windows 10?
