TRS cable options?

So I finally got a pair of hs50 monitors to hook up to a maudio fast track pro. There doesn't seem to be a lot of info on TRS - TRS or TRS - xlr cables. Any recommendations/opinions?

Use TRS to TRS from output 1 and 2(they are balanced).3 and 4 are unbalanced.
There's no reason to get TRS to XLR cables.

Are you talking about the red/white rca jacks? I only see two TRS outputs on the fast track.

Well I saw a review for a hosa brand cable that mentioned something about bad signal and thin gauged wire, does it really matter for monitors?

within reason, quality matters with all things. Do you need $800 cables? No. But the cheapest cable on the block might not be the best answer, either. I have a few Hosa cables around here, they are utility cables, don't get used much but when they do they solve a problem. I would not pick them for one of the most critical connections in my system. But that's me.

I have a new pair of monitors on the way here, myself. When they arrive I will make custom cables using Gepco (mid-priced good quality wire that I happen to have a spool of) or a nice expensive 110 ohm cable that were leftover cutoffss from an install my friend did (I'd never buy that stuff... too expensive.) West Penn Wire, Belden, anything with good conductors and a quality rating on the shield; Neutrix or Switchcraft connectors would do just fine.

Thanks. What is the part number for the neutrix ends

Edit: I found them, thanks again guys I'm pumped about finally being able to have a clean reference for mixing.

Yeah, sorry bout that,i though it had 1/2/3/4 out,but its 1/2 in 1/2 out.

I misunderstood your question i guess,i thought you were asking if there was a difference between using TRS to TRS cables vs. TRS to XLR as the hs 50's have both.
