Cordial EY1WMM - Stereo Mini-Jack to 2 XLR Male Y Adapter Cable
The Cordial EY1WMM is a high-quality Y-shaped adapter cable designed to provide a reliable and professional solution for connecting devices with stereo audio outputs to equipment with balanced XLR inputs. Measuring 1 meter in length, this cable is the perfect tool for splitting a stereo signal from a 3.5 mm mini-jack connector into two mono signals (left and right) via two male XLR connectors. Its robust construction and high-quality components ensure clean, interference-free signal transmission, ideal for musicians, sound engineers, and audio enthusiasts who demand nothing less than excellence.
Made in Germany, Cordial is synonymous with durability and performance. The EY1WMM model belongs to the "elements" series, characterized by its reliability and excellent performance-to-performance ratio. The connectors are molded to offer superior protection against twisting and wear at the connection point, thus ensuring a long service life even under the most demanding conditions of touring or daily studio use. The bare copper spiral shielding effectively protects the signal against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, preserving the purity of the original sound.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cable balance the signal?
No. The cable takes the unbalanced stereo signal from the mini-jack connector and splits it into two unbalanced mono signals, sending each to an XLR connector. Although XLR connectors are capable of carrying a balanced signal, in this configuration the signal remains unbalanced.
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 equipment with XLR inputs. Connecting a microphone requires a different cable setup and often a different audio interface.
Are the XLR connectors labeled as left and right channel?
Yes, XLR connectors are usually color-coded or marked in some way to easily distinguish the left channel from the right, corresponding to the tip and ring of the stereo mini-jack connector.
