OQAN QABL J8-03-2JPM - Y-Shaped Audio Cable from 3.5mm Stereo Mini-Jack to Dual 6.35mm Mono Jack (3 Meters)
Optimize your audio connections and expand the possibilities of your sound setup with the Oqan QABL J8-03-2JPM . This Y-splitter adapter cable is designed to provide a reliable and efficient solution for connecting consumer audio devices to professional sound equipment. Whether you need to connect the headphone output of a laptop, tablet, or smartphone to a mixing console, audio interface, or studio monitors, this cable ensures a clear and uninterrupted signal.
With a generous length of 3 meters , this model provides the necessary freedom of movement in home studios, DJ booths, or small stages, eliminating strain on connection ports caused by excessively short cables. Its construction incorporates molded connectors that offer excellent tensile strength and protection against daily wear and tear, ensuring a long lifespan even with intensive use. The cable configuration takes the stereo signal from the source (minijack) and physically separates it into two mono channels (Left and Right), allowing independent control of each channel on the destination equipment.
Main features
-
Versatile Length: 3 meters of cable that allows for convenient placement of equipment without the need for additional extenders.
-
Standard Connectivity: Converts one 3.5mm (1/8") TRS stereo jack output into two 6.35mm (1/4") TS mono jack inputs.
-
Robust Construction: Connectors with molded housing that act as a strain relief, protecting internal solder joints.
-
Channel Identification: 6.35mm jack connectors usually have markings (colored rings or labels) to easily distinguish between the left and right channels.
-
Flexibility and Durability: Flexible PVC outer coating that facilitates rolling and reduces knot formation.
Product benefits
The main benefit of the Oqan QABL J8-03-2JPM lies in its ability to integrate different technologies . It simplifies life for musicians and engineers by allowing modern portable devices to communicate seamlessly with traditional analog audio hardware. By separating the stereo signal into two mono lines, you gain complete control over the stereo image on your mixing console, allowing you to EQ or process the left and right channels separately if needed. Furthermore, the quality of its materials ensures clean signal transmission, minimizing the parasitic noise common in lower-end adapters.
Use cases
-
Home Studio: Connecting the audio output of a computer directly to a pair of active studio monitors.
-
Live Sound: Playback of backing tracks or background music from a mobile phone or MP3 player to a professional mixing console.
-
DJ and Performance: Connecting compact DJ controllers or portable synthesizers (such as the Korg Volca series) with minijack output to amplification systems or recording interfaces.
-
Multimedia: Integration of audio from projectors or laptops into public address systems for presentations and conferences.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for connecting a microphone to a computer?
Generally, no. This cable is designed to carry audio from a device with a headphone output (computer/mobile phone) to equipment with separate line inputs (mixing console/speakers). The signal flow direction is intended for line/headphone outputs.
Is the signal balanced or unbalanced?
This is an unbalanced cable. It takes an unbalanced stereo signal from the mini-jack and splits it into two unbalanced mono signals on the 1/4" jack connectors. For distances of 3 meters, this works perfectly without introducing any noticeable noise in standard environments.
Can I use it in reverse (two mono outputs to one stereo input)?
Technically it is possible (it is a passive cable), for example, to take the L/R output of a keyboard to the auxiliary input of a portable speaker, as long as the impedances are compatible.
