OQAN QABL JPS-03-2XLR - 3m Stereo Jack to 2x XLR Adapter Cable
The OQAN QABL JPS-03-2XLR is a professional-grade Y-splitter cable designed to provide a reliable, high-fidelity connection solution. Measuring 3 meters in length, this cable is the perfect tool for splitting a stereo audio signal from a single 6.35 mm TRS jack output into two independent mono signals via two XLR male connectors. Its robust construction and high-quality components ensure clean, interference-free sound transmission, making it an indispensable accessory for both recording studios and live performances.
This type of cable is exceptionally versatile, allowing you to connect equipment with stereo outputs, such as audio interfaces, mixing consoles, synthesizers, computers, or mobile devices, to equipment with balanced or unbalanced mono inputs, such as active studio monitors, PA speakers, or input channels on a sound console. The quality of its oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors ensures that the signal purity remains intact from source to destination, minimizing signal loss and noise.
Main Features
-
Versatile Connection: Equipped with a 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) stereo jack (TRS) connector on one end and two male XLR connectors on the other.
-
Ideal Length: Its 3 meters of cable provide the necessary flexibility to connect equipment in different studio or stage configurations without generating excess cabling.
-
Superior Signal Quality: The internal conductors are made of oxygen-free copper (OFC) to ensure clear, color-free audio transmission.
-
Durable Construction: Features a flexible yet tough PVC jacket that protects the cable from daily wear and tear, and robust metal connectors designed to withstand frequent connections and disconnections.
-
Excellent Isolation: Incorporates effective shielding that protects the audio signal against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), resulting in clean, noise-free sound.
Benefits for Musicians and Sound Technicians
The OQAN QABL JPS-03-2XLR greatly simplifies audio setups. It allows for a direct and secure connection, eliminating the need for multiple adapters that can degrade the signal and become a point of failure. Its audio-specific design ensures proper left and right channel separation, maintaining the stereo image of the source split into two mono lines perfect for mixing or independent amplification. It's a professional, reliable, and cost-effective solution for one of the most common interconnection tasks in the audio world.
Use Cases
-
Studio Monitor Connection: Connect the main outputs of an audio interface or mixing console to a pair of active studio monitors with XLR inputs.
-
Live Sound Systems (PA): Sending the audio signal from a laptop, smartphone or media player to two channels of a mixing console.
-
Synthesizers and Keyboards: Connect the headphone output or main stereo output of a keyboard to an amplification system or recorder.
-
Insert Cable: Use this cable to connect an external effects processor (such as a compressor or equalizer) to a channel on a mixing console. The TRS connector connects to the insert point, while one XLR acts as the send and the other as the return.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the XLR connectors on this cable male or female?
The two XLR connectors are male, designed to connect to the female inputs commonly found on mixing consoles, powered speakers, and audio interfaces.
Does this cable split a balanced signal in two?
Not exactly. It takes a stereo signal, which travels through the TRS jack connector as two unbalanced channels (left channel at the "Tip", right channel at the "Ring"), and separates them into two distinct mono lines, each ending in an XLR connector.
Can I use this cable to connect a stereo microphone?
No, this cable is designed to carry a line-level signal from a stereo output to two inputs. It is not suitable for microphone signals or for providing phantom power.
Is the Jack connector the small one on headphones (3.5 mm)?
No, this cable uses a professional 6.35 mm jack connector (also known as 1/4 inch), which is the standard on professional audio equipment such as mixing consoles, interfaces, and amplifiers.
