OQAN QABL AD-J8J4M - Audio Adapter Jack 3.5 mm Male to Jack 6.35 mm Female Mono (Pack of 2)
The Oqan QABL AD-J8J4M is an essential and practical solution for musicians, sound engineers, and audio enthusiasts who need to interconnect equipment with different input and output standards. This set includes two adapters designed to convert a standard instrument connection (1/4" or 6.35 mm jack) to a smaller input (1/8" or 3.5 mm mini-jack), maintaining the integrity of the mono signal. Its compact and functional design allows you to resolve connector incompatibility issues in seconds, ensuring your workflow in the studio or on stage never stops.
Made from durable materials, these adapters ensure clear, uninterrupted signal transmission. Unlike standard stereo adapters, this model is specifically configured for mono (TS - Tip/Sleeve) signals, making it ideal for live musical instrument applications, modular synthesizers, and specialized recording equipment where single-channel purity is paramount. The two-unit blister pack offers excellent value, allowing you to always have a spare on hand or cover two connections simultaneously.
Main features
-
Precise conversion: Effectively transforms a 6.35 mm female connector (Large Jack) to be compatible with a 3.5 mm male input (Mini-jack).
-
Mono Configuration (TS): Designed exclusively for unbalanced mono signals, ideal for instruments and pure line signal.
-
Solid construction: Durable body that withstands continuous use and minimizes the risk of internal breakage or false contacts.
-
Nickel-plated contacts: They offer adequate conductivity and corrosion resistance for a long service life.
-
Value pack: Supplied in a sealed blister pack containing 2 identical pieces.
Product benefits
The main benefit of the Oqan QABL AD-J8J4M lies in its ability to integrate professional-grade equipment with portable or compact devices. As a direct, cable-free adapter, it eliminates clutter and reduces signal loss that sometimes occurs with long, low-quality adapter cables. Furthermore, being a mono- specific product, it avoids phase issues or signal cancellation that can occur when using stereo adapters on mono instrument jacks, ensuring the sound reaches the correct volume. Having two units ensures you always have a backup in your accessory bag for any technical emergency.
Use cases
-
Modular Synthesizers (Eurorack): Perfect for sending signals from guitar effects pedals or external synthesizers (6.35 mm jack) to the Eurorack module inputs (3.5 mm).
-
Field recording: Connect a dynamic microphone or guitar directly to portable recorders or compact sound cards that have 3.5 mm mono line inputs.
-
Portable amplifiers: Use in mini practice amplifiers that require a small jack input for the guitar.
-
Education and Laboratories: Connecting physics or audio equipment in educational environments where old and modern connector standards are mixed.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can this adapter be used to listen to music with my regular headphones?
Not recommended. Most headphones are stereo (TRS), and this adapter is mono. If you connect headphones, you will likely only hear audio from one side (usually the left) or the signal will be shorted out. This adapter is for mono instruments and signals.
-
Can I use it to connect my guitar to the computer?
Yes, provided your computer or interface has a 3.5 mm mic/line input that accepts mono signals. Note that if the input is a combo jack (TRRS, like on mobile phones), you might need an additional adapter.
-
Does it come in two units or is it just one with two tips?
The package includes two individual, independent adapters.
