OQAN QABLP - 1.5m Stereo Mini Jack to 2x Mono Jack Cable, Gold/Black
The OQAN QABLP is a high-quality audio cable designed to provide a versatile and reliable connectivity solution for a wide range of audio applications. Also known as an insert cable or Y-cable, this cable is the perfect tool for splitting a stereo audio signal into two separate mono signals (left and right), ensuring clear, interference-free sound transmission.
Built with durable materials and premium conductors, the QABLP features a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack (TRS) connector on one end and two 6.35mm mono jack (TS) connectors on the other. This configuration makes it the ideal bridge between consumer audio devices and professional sound equipment. Its 1.5-meter length provides the flexibility needed for convenient setup without excess cabling.
Main features
-
High-performance connectors: The connectors are gold-plated, ensuring optimal conductivity, minimizing signal loss and preventing corrosion, extending the cable's lifespan and keeping audio quality intact.
-
Stereo to mono signal splitting: Separates the audio signal from a device with stereo output (such as a smartphone or laptop) into two independent mono channels (L/R), perfect for connecting to the inputs of a mixing console, audio interface, or amplifier.
-
Robust construction: The cable is covered by a flexible yet tough PVC sheath, which protects it from daily wear and tear, pulling and twisting, making it suitable for both fixed studio installations and live mobile use.
-
Superior audio quality: Designed for clean, low-noise signal transmission, preserving the dynamics and fidelity of the original sound. It's an excellent choice for musicians, DJs, sound engineers, and audio enthusiasts.
-
Easy identification: The two mono jack connectors are usually marked (often with colors or labels) to easily identify the left and right channels, facilitating a quick and error-free connection.
Product benefits
The OQAN QABLP cable is designed for those seeking a stable, professional-quality audio connection. Whether you're a musician, producer, or simply an audiophile, this cable allows you to seamlessly integrate your personal devices (laptops, tablets, MP3 players) with your professional audio equipment. Forget flimsy adapters and unreliable connections; the QABLP offers a robust and efficient all-in-one solution for all your interconnection needs.
Use cases
- Connect the headphone output of a laptop or smartphone to the line inputs of a mixing console.
- Send the audio signal from a music player to two separate channels of an amplifier or active speaker system.
- Use it as an insert cable on a mixing console to connect an external effects processor (such as a compressor or equalizer) to a specific channel.
- Connect the audio output of a synthesizer or keyboard with a stereo mini jack output to an audio interface with mono jack inputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is this type of cable used for?
This cable takes a stereo signal from a single output (3.5 mm mini jack) and splits it into two separate mono signals (each via a 6.35 mm jack). It's ideal for connecting devices like phones or laptops to professional equipment such as mixing consoles.
Will I lose sound quality by splitting the signal?
No. The cable is specifically designed to separate the left and right channels of a stereo signal without degrading audio quality. The gold-plated connectors and cable construction help maintain signal integrity.
Can I use it in reverse, to combine two mono signals into one stereo signal?
Although it's physically possible to connect the cables in reverse, it's not the recommended method. Combining two different mono sources into a stereo input this way can cause phase issues and won't sum the signals correctly. For that task, it's better to use a mixer.
What do the acronyms TRS and TS mean?
TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) refers to the stereo connector (Mini Jack in this case), which has three contacts for the left and right signals and ground. TS (Tip-Sleeve) refers to the mono connectors (the two Jacks), which have two contacts for a single signal and ground.
