PROEL AT148 - Y-Adapter Audio Adapter (3.5 mm Stereo Male Minijack to 2 x 6.3 mm Stereo Female Jacks)
The PROEL AT148 is a professional audio adapter designed to provide practical and reliable connectivity solutions for studio, live performance, or home use. This device acts as an essential bridge between consumer equipment and professional audio accessories, allowing you to duplicate a stereo signal from a compact source to two standard-format outputs.
Made with a robust ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) body, this adapter stands out for its impact resistance and long-term durability, protecting the internal welds from daily wear and tear. Its ergonomic and compact design makes it an indispensable tool in any accessory bag, ensuring you can always connect your headphones or devices regardless of the connector type.
The AT148 's configuration is specifically designed to convert a 3.5 mm stereo minijack output (common on computers, tablets, smartphones, and portable recorders) into two 6.3 mm stereo jack inputs. This is ideal for using high-impedance headphones or monitors with large connectors on portable devices without the need for an intermediate mixing console.
Main features
This adapter has been developed under the quality standards of the Italian brand Proel, ensuring a clean signal transmission without parasitic noise.
-
Precise conversion: Transforms one 3.5mm stereo male connector into two 6.3mm stereo female connectors.
-
ABS Construction: High-strength engineering plastic casing that offers lightness and protection against impacts.
-
True Stereo Connectivity: Maintains the stereo image (left/right) on both outputs, ideal for duplicating monitoring signals.
-
Optimized contacts: Designed to minimize signal loss and ensure a firm fit of the connectors.
-
Compact format: One-piece design without cables, eliminating weak points of breakage due to twisting.
Benefits for the user
Using the PROEL AT148 greatly simplifies the workflow for musicians and engineers. By eliminating the need for multiple converter cables, it reduces clutter and improves portability. Its main benefit lies in its immediate versatility : it allows you to connect two pairs of professional headphones (which typically use 6.3 mm jacks) to a single output on a laptop or mobile phone, facilitating shared listening sessions or collaborative monitoring.
Use cases

Educational environments: Ideal for music teachers who need to connect two headphones to a digital piano or keyboard with a small auxiliary output to listen alongside the student.
-
Podcasting and Interviews: Allows monitoring of audio from a portable recorder or laptop with two people simultaneously using studio headphones.
-
Home Studio: Useful for sending the output signal from a basic sound card or interface to two different destinations.
-
Travel and Leisure: Perfect for sharing music or movies from a tablet using high-fidelity headphones without individual adapters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this adapter split the sound into mono or maintain stereo?
The AT148 is a stereo adapter. It duplicates the stereo signal from the source, so you will hear both the left and right channels on both female outputs.
Can I use it to connect microphones?
Not recommended for microphones. This adapter is designed for line-level or headphone signals (output signals). Connecting two microphones to a single input could cause impedance or phase cancellation problems.
Is it compatible with TRRS connectors (with microphone)?
The male connector is TRS (3-pole, standard stereo). If connected to a TRRS port (such as on a hands-free mobile phone), the audio will play correctly, but the microphone signal will not be transmitted back.
