PD-Connex CX140 - Signal Y Splitter Cable 1x XLR Female to 2x XLR Male

PD-Connex CX140 - Signal Y Splitter Cable 1x XLR Female to 2x XLR Male

The PD-Connex CX140 is a Y-splitter cable designed to provide a professional and reliable audio distribution solution. This cable allows you to duplicate a balanced audio signal from a single source, such as a microphone or mixing console output, and send it to two different destinations simultaneously. Equipped with a 3-pin female XLR connector on one end and two 3-pin male XLR connectors on the other, the CX140 is an indispensable tool for sound engineers, musicians, and studios that require versatile connections without compromising quality.

Constructed with high-quality materials, this flexible cable ensures clean, interference-free signal transmission. Its robust metal connectors guarantee a firm and durable connection, resistant to wear and tear from continuous use in demanding environments such as stages, recording studios, or live sound installations. Its compact and efficient design minimizes cable clutter and simplifies complex setups.

Main Features

• High Quality Connectors: The XLR connectors are all metal, providing a secure connection and excellent durability, preventing accidental disconnections and ensuring a long service life.
• Pure Signal Transmission: The internal wiring and shielding are designed to protect the audio signal against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring noise- and hum-free transmission.
• Flexible and Durable Cable: Despite its robustness, the cable maintains a high degree of flexibility, making it easy to handle and place in any configuration, even in confined spaces, without risk of damaging the internal conductors.
• Efficient Design: With a length of 0.5 meters, it is ideal for short connections between nearby equipment, keeping the assembly clean and tidy without excess cable.

Benefits for the Audio Professional

The PD-Connex CX140 is designed to simplify the work of professionals. Its ability to passively split a signal eliminates the need for bulkier and more expensive distribution equipment in simple applications. It allows you to send a microphone signal to the main mixing console, a monitoring system, or a recording interface simultaneously, offering great versatility in live and studio settings. The reliability of its components ensures that audio quality is not degraded, maintaining the integrity of the original signal.

Use Cases

• Live Sound: Sending the signal from a vocalist or instrument to the PA console and a separate monitor console.
• Recording Studio: Record an audio source on two different preamps or tracks for subsequent mixing or parallel processing.
• Conference Systems: Distribute the signal from a podium microphone to a speaker system and to a recording or streaming device.
• Fixed Installations: Connect a single audio source to two amplifiers or zones of a distributed sound system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this cable combine two signals into one?
No. This is a splitter cable, designed to send one signal to two outputs. Using it in reverse to combine two signals (merger) is not recommended, as it could cause phase problems and damage connected equipment.

Does the cable transmit phantom power?
Yes, this cable will pass phantom power from an input to the connected source (a condenser microphone, for example). However, it's important to ensure that only one of the destination devices is supplying phantom power to avoid conflicts.

Does the signal lose quality or volume when it is split?
As a passive crossover, there may be a slight drop in signal level (approximately 3dB) and a change in impedance. In most professional applications with modern equipment, this attenuation is negligible and easily compensated for by the preamplifier's gain.
