OQAN QABL JPS-03-2JPM - Stereo Jack to Double XLR Male Y Cable (3 Meters)
The OQAN QABL JPS-03-2JPM is a professional connectivity solution designed for musicians, sound engineers, and producers who demand reliability and precision in their audio chain. This 3-meter Y-adapter cable splits a stereo signal from a 1/4" (6.35 mm) jack output into two independent XLR male inputs. It's the essential accessory for integrating equipment with unbalanced or balanced stereo outputs into recording and live environments where the standard input is XLR.
Manufactured to OQAN's rigorous quality standards, this cable stands out for its robust construction and ability to transmit the signal with maximum fidelity. Its intelligent design not only facilitates connections between different types of hardware but also ensures superior sound integrity by minimizing the signal losses typical of lower-end adapters. Whether connecting a synthesizer to a mixing console or an audio interface to studio monitors, the QABL JPS-03-2JPM delivers transparent and consistent performance.
The flexible sheathing and high-quality soldered connectors ensure a long lifespan, withstanding intensive use on stage or the constant reconfiguration of a home studio . At 3 meters long, it provides the perfect reach for desktop setups or DJ booths without creating the clutter of excessively long cables.
Main features
-
High Versatility Y Configuration: Converts one TRS stereo jack output into two XLR signals (left and right), allowing for clean and effective channel separation.
-
Optimized Length: Its 3 meters offer the ideal distance to connect equipment in racks, studio tables or DJ setups without strain on the connectors.
-
Professional Grade Connectors: Equipped with a rugged 1/4" male jack and two 3-pin male XLR connectors, designed for a secure fit and free of movement noise.
-
Durable Construction: Flexible outer coating that protects internal conductors, prevents tangling, and facilitates collection and storage.
-
Clear Signal Transmission: Conductive materials selected to ensure a flat frequency response and minimize the introduction of electrical noise or interference.
Benefits for the user
The OQAN QABL JPS-03-2JPM greatly simplifies the workflow in audio environments. Its main benefit lies in the immediate compatibility it provides between consumer or semi-professional equipment (with jack outputs) and professional audio equipment (with XLR inputs). This eliminates the need for multiple small adapters that often get lost or introduce crackling into the signal.
Furthermore, by separating the stereo signal into two mono XLR channels, it allows for complete control over the mix . You can adjust the EQ, gain, and effects of each side of the stereo signal independently on your mixing console. OQAN's robust construction ensures your investment is protected, offering a cable that can withstand the rigors of touring and intense recording sessions.
Recommended use cases
-
Stereo Instrument Connection: Ideal for connecting keyboards, synthesizers or digital pianos with L/R stereo output (or TRS headphone output) to two channels of a mixing console or stage box.
-
Studio Monitors: Perfect for connecting audio interfaces or sound cards that have a single control room (TRS) output to two active studio monitors with XLR input.
-
DJ equipment: Connection of DJ controllers or consoles with Booth/Master output in Jack to PA systems or amplifiers with XLR inputs.
-
Audio Players: Adaptation of outputs from music players or computers (using pre-adapters if necessary) to professional sound systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this cable convert one balanced signal into two balanced signals?
It depends on the source. Generally, this cable is used to split a stereo (left/right) signal traveling through a TRS connector into two unbalanced mono signals that enter XLR connectors. It's the standard configuration for "breaking" a stereo signal into two mono channels.
-
Can I use it in reverse, from two XLR microphones to one Jack input?
Not recommended. Although the connectors may physically fit, this cable is designed to split output signals, not to sum input signals (such as two microphones). Summing signals requires an active mixer to avoid impedance and phase issues.
-
Is it compatible with Phantom power (+48V)?
Do not use this cable with phantom power enabled on the XLR inputs if you are connecting equipment that does not support it (such as headphone outputs or instruments), as this could damage the source device. Make sure phantom power is turned off.
-
Does the 3-meter length include the fork?
Yes, the total length of the cable is 3 meters, with the split (the point where it separates into two) strategically located to allow convenient connection to two adjacent speakers or table channels.
