HOSA is making a real name for themselves in terms of quality low cost well made cable assemblies. This is every bit a professional quality patch cord. I bought it because I recently purchased a pair of amplified speakers from M-audio which feature professional 1/4″ TRS inputs (differential) to cut hum and noise from the signal.The HOSA input is the quietest of all 3 inputs on the speaker system by 6dB. It sounds great, works great, and didn’t set me back a fortune.I own several HOSA TRS/XLR adapters and have never had a problem with them. I would not expect one with this cable set given its construction quality and strain relief on all ends. Don’t let the low cost fool ya – there’s a good cable set here.

M-Audio 88 Key Keystation Pro HELP?
So I bought this for my girlfriend so she could play in her dorm room at college. I knew nothing about MIDI keyboards, so I just assumed it would be plug and play.Okay, I understand that MIDI =/= sound, blah blah blah. However, they keyboard did come with software Pro Audio Equipment In (Ableton LIVE). The keyboard comes with a USB cable that will plug directly into her laptop. I plugged this into the respective ports, and installed the software. It does not even register the instrument on the software.So a few questions. I want to use her laptop as the MIDI “station” per se. Is it possible, and what equipment would I need (cheap please. XD), to connect the keyboard to the laptop to an EXTERNAL speaker? (Amplifier, etc.)Also, being my first MIDI keyboard, I don’t really even know the basics. So a bit of a walkthrough for setup would be nice as well. Thank you for your time!
