Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cable split the stereo signal into two mono outputs?
Yes, the cable takes the stereo signal from the 3.5mm mini jack connector and splits it into two separate mono channels, sending the left channel to one XLR connector and the right channel to the other.
Are the XLR connectors balanced?
Although XLR connectors are capable of carrying a balanced signal, in this configuration, each connector carries an unbalanced mono signal from the stereo source. This is the standard wiring for this type of application.
Can I use this cable to connect a microphone to my computer?
No, this cable is designed to send an audio signal *from* a device with a mini-jack output *to* two XLR inputs. It will not work in reverse to connect microphones to a mini-jack input.
