PROEL AT230 - RCA Y Adapter with ABS Body (1 Male to 2 Female)
The PROEL AT230 is a professional audio adapter designed to quickly and efficiently solve connectivity problems in both home and professional sound setups. This essential accessory allows you to duplicate a mono audio signal or distribute a single output to two different inputs without the need for bulky additional cables. Manufactured to the strict quality standards of the Italian brand Proel, this compact adapter guarantees clean and reliable signal transmission.
Unlike traditional Y-cable connectors, the AT230 features a rigid, one-piece design made of high-strength ABS plastic . This material not only offers superior durability against bumps and accidental drops, but also provides effective insulation. Its unique configuration converts one male RCA connector into two female RCA connectors, making it an indispensable tool in the kit of any sound engineer, DJ, or audiophile who requires instant adaptability in their connections.
Main features
-
Robust ABS Construction: The adapter body is molded from black Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), an engineering plastic known for its high impact resistance and long-term durability.
-
Precise connectivity: It has a male RCA connector on one end and two female RCA connectors on the opposite end, ensuring a firm and secure fit that minimizes accidental disconnections.
-
High conductivity contacts: The metal connectors are designed to offer low electrical resistance, preserving the integrity of the audio signal from source to destination.
-
Compact and lightweight design: Lacking external cabling, its block format saves space behind equipment and reduces cable clutter in complex installations.
-
Signal versatility: Capable of functioning as a signal splitter to duplicate an audio output to two receiving devices.
Product benefits
Using the PROEL AT230 adapter dramatically simplifies cable management in your setup. By eliminating the need for long splitter cables, it keeps the rear connection area of your amplifiers and mixing consoles much tidier. Its ABS housing acts as a protective shield, ensuring that the internal solder points remain intact even under heavy use on stage or in the studio. Furthermore, as a Proel product, you benefit from the assurance of a component tested to deliver consistent performance without adding unwanted noise or coloration to your sound.
Common use cases
-
Subwoofer Connection: Ideal for connecting an LFE (mono) output of an AV receiver to a subwoofer that has a stereo (L/R) input to maximize input sensitivity.
-
Mix output duplication: Allows you to send the "Record Out" output of a mixing console to two different recorders or devices simultaneously.
-
Hi-Fi and Home Cinema Systems: Useful for bi-amplification or for distributing an analog audio signal to multiple zone amplifiers.
-
DJ environments: Quick solution for connecting auxiliary equipment when the console's inputs are limited.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this adapter convert a stereo signal to mono?
Technically, you can add two signals if you connect two sources to the female connectors and the male output to one input, but its main and recommended use is to split a signal (from the male output) to two destinations (female inputs) to avoid impedance problems.
-
Is it compatible with video?
Although the RCA connector is physically identical for composite audio and video, this adapter is optimized for audio signals. It may work for composite video over short distances, but this is not its primary function.
-
Is the body detachable?
No, the ABS body is a sealed and molded unit to ensure maximum durability and protection of internal connections.
-
Do I need additional cables to use it?
Yes, you will need to connect standard male RCA cables to the adapter's female jacks to carry the signal to your target devices.
Project description
The AT230 rigid audio adapter features a black, high-density ABS injection-molded body. It has an RCA connector configuration with one male plug on the input end and two female sockets on the output end. The monoblock design eliminates the need for cables and allows for low-impedance signal splitting. Standard metal contacts ensure electrical continuity and mechanical durability in both fixed and mobile installations.
