Cordial Essentials ECLCFY03FMM - XLR Female to 2x XLR Male Y-Adapter Cable (30 cm)
Optimize your professional audio setup with the Cordial Essentials ECLCFY03FMM , a high-performance Y-adapter cable designed to accurately and reliably split balanced audio signals. Part of the renowned Essentials series from the German brand, this accessory is the ultimate solution for musicians, sound engineers, and technicians looking to duplicate a source signal (such as a microphone or mixing console output) to two different destinations without compromising sound quality.
The construction of this cable stands out for its integration of REAN by Neutrik connectors, an industry standard that guarantees a robust mechanical connection and noise-free electrical transmission. Unlike generic adapters, the ECLCFY03FMM uses high-quality wiring with oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors, ensuring that the signal remains clean, clear, and faithful to the original source. Its 30-centimeter length is ideal for keeping patchbays, pedalboards, or racks tidy, preventing unnecessary cable clutter while providing just the right amount of flexibility for making connections comfortably.
This adapter has been hand-soldered and tested to withstand the demands of live and studio use. The flexible PVC outer jacket protects the internal conductors from kinks and accidental steps, while its spiral shielding provides effective defense against external electromagnetic interference. Whether sending a vocalist's signal to the mixing console and a personal monitoring system simultaneously, or duplicating line outputs to different power amplifiers, this cable is an indispensable tool in any professional audio kit.
Main features
-
REAN by Neutrik connectors: Equipped with high-quality metal XLR connectors that ensure durability and a perfect fit, preventing accidental disconnections.
-
Pure transmission: Oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors with a cross-section of 0.22 mm² that guarantee low resistance and transparent signal transmission.
-
Interference protection: It features a copper spiral shield that effectively covers the conductors to block parasitic noise and hum.
-
Flexibility and resistance: The soft PVC cover allows for easy handling and rolling, withstanding intensive use on stages and in studios.
-
Balanced Y-shaped design: Specific configuration to split a balanced mono signal into two identical copies without noticeable loss of quality.
Product benefits
-
Immediate versatility: Instantly solves complex signal routing problems without the need for additional electronic equipment such as active splitters.
-
German reliability: As a Cordial product, it benefits from the quality guarantee of a leading brand in cabling, ensuring a long lifespan even under touring conditions.
-
Order and cleanliness: Its compact length of 30 cm prevents the clutter of long cables at the back of racks or on the stage floor.
-
Connection security: REAN connectors offer superior strain relief, protecting internal solder points against sudden pulls.
Use cases
-
Microphone splitting: Sending the signal from a microphone to the front-of-house (FOH) console and simultaneously to a monitor console or recording interface.
-
Amplification systems: Connect the output of a mixing console to two different power amplifiers to feed different speaker zones.
-
Redundant recording: Duplicating a critical audio signal to record it on two separate devices for safety.
-
Broadcast configurations: Route audio to a transmitter and a local listening system simultaneously.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I use this cable to combine two signals into a single input?
Not recommended. This is a splitter cable. Using it to sum (combine) two active signals on a single input can cause impedance and distortion problems. To sum signals, a mixer or a passive summing amplifier with resistors should be used.
-
Does this cable convert one stereo signal into two mono signals?
No, this cable is designed for balanced (XLR) signals. If a balanced mono signal goes in, two copies of that same balanced mono signal come out. It does not perform stereo decoding.
-
Does splitting the signal affect sound quality?
In most modern line-level and microphone applications, the loss is imperceptible thanks to the low output impedance of current equipment and the high quality of the OFC copper in this cable.
-
Are the connectors compatible with any XLR equipment?
Yes, the connectors are standard 3-pin XLR, compatible with any microphone, mixer, interface, or active speaker with this type of connection.
