OQAN QABL JPS-03-2R - Y-Shaped Audio Cable, 6.35mm Stereo Jack to 2x RCA Male (3 Meters)
The OQAN QABL JPS-03-2R is an essential connectivity solution for musicians, DJs, and sound engineers seeking reliability and versatility in their audio setup. This 3-meter cable features a Y-shaped architecture (also known as an insert or splitter cable), allowing you to split a stereo signal or manage effects loops with precision. Its robust construction ensures clean signal transmission, minimizing common external interference in studio or live environments.
Manufactured to Oqan's QABL series quality standards, this cable features a 1/4" (6.35mm) TRS stereo jack on one end and splits into two RCA male connectors on the other. It's the perfect solution for integrating professional equipment with hi-fi systems, connecting mixer outputs to recorders, or using as an insert cable on analog mixing consoles. Its flexible outer jacket makes it easy to handle and coil, preventing annoying tangles during setup and teardown.
Main features
-
Professional Hybrid Connectivity: Seamless transition between the professional audio standard (6.35mm jack) and the consumer or DJ standard (RCA).
-
Durable Construction: The connectors are molded to withstand mechanical stress and continuous use, protecting the internal welds.
-
Stereo or Dual Mono Signal: Capable of carrying a complete stereo signal (Left/Right) or functioning as send and return on insert channels.
-
Optimal Length: Its 3 meters offer the necessary freedom to connect equipment in racks, DJ tables or studio desks without generating tension in the ports.
Benefits for your audio setup
Investing in the right cabling is just as important as the equipment you use. The OQAN QABL JPS-03-2R eliminates the need for unreliable adapters that can cause unwanted noise or accidental disconnections. By offering a direct point-to-point connection, it ensures the integrity of your sound is maintained from source to destination. Furthermore, color-coded wiring (typically Red/White or Red/Black on RCA cables) allows for quick and intuitive visual setup, saving valuable time in low-light situations such as DJ booths or stages.
Common use cases
-
Insert Cable: Connect an external effects processor (compressor, equalizer) to a channel of a mixing console using the TRS jack connector for send and return.
-
Interface Output to Monitors/Hi-Fi: Send the signal from an audio interface or synthesizer with headphone output (or Jack outputs) to an amplifier or speakers with RCA input.
-
Recording from a Mixing Console: Connect the "Control Room" or "Main Out" output (if it is a Jack) of a mixer to a portable recorder or a computer line input with RCA connections.
-
DJ Setup: Connect controllers or drum machines with 1/4" Jack outputs to line channels of a standard DJ mixer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this cable be used to connect a mobile phone to an amplifier?
Not directly, because the jack connector is 6.35mm (large, guitar-type), not the 3.5mm mini-jack used by mobile phones. You would need a different model or an additional adapter.
Is the cable balanced?
The jack connector is TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve), which allows for balanced signals, but when converted to RCA (an unbalanced standard), the cable technically functions as an unbalanced or split stereo connection. It's ideal for short to medium distances, such as its 3-meter length, without any loss of quality.
Can I use it backwards (from RCA to Jack)?
Yes, the cable is bidirectional. You can connect two RCA sources (such as a CD player or pre-amplified turntable) to a 6.35mm stereo jack input on a mixing console or interface.
