Yellow Cable ECOAD18 - RCA Male to 2 XLR Female Adapter

YELLOW CABLE ECOAD18 - RCA Male to XLR Female Adapter (Pack of 2)

The Yellow Cable ECOAD18 is a set of 2 adapters that convert a male RCA connection to a 3-pin XLR female . It's the quick solution for linking home or DJ equipment with RCA outputs to wired or professional equipment with XLR inputs, without the need for soldering or active interfaces. Each piece adapts one (mono) channel; the set covers left/right if both are used. As a passive adapter, the signal remains unbalanced ; for long runs or true conversion to balanced, a DI or isolation transformer is recommended.

Main features

• 2-pack : two individual adapters to cover a stereo pair (L/R) or have a spare.
• Connectivity : RCA male → XLR female (3 pins) , typical orientation of equipment with RCA output towards XLR inputs/cables.
• Ready for immediate use : Ideal for connecting RCA-enabled players, consumer interfaces, or DJ mixers to XLR-enabled mixers, stages, or speakers.
• Passive format : no electronics; maintains the signal as unbalanced.
• Universal Compatibility : RCA and XLR3 standard widely used in audio.

Product benefits

• Time Saver : Quickly adapt RCA outputs to XLR inputs/cables without custom wiring.
• Versatility : Each adapter serves one channel; using both stereo covers.
• Easy integration : allows you to reuse existing XLR cabling for RCA sources.

Use cases

• DJ & Playback : RCA output from controllers/players to XLR inputs on active speakers or mixers (short distances).
• Events and installations : quick connection of RCA sources (computers, players, decoders) to XLR patch cables.
• Study : specific adaptation of consumer equipment to XLR inputs of interfaces or preamps.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this a 1-to-2 splitter? No. Each adapter adapts an RCA to an XLR. The pack includes two adapters (one per channel).
• Does it convert the signal to balanced? No. It's a passive adapter; the signal remains unbalanced . For long runs or noise reduction, use DI boxes/transformers.
• How is it wired internally? In the usual RCA-XLR configuration: the RCA plug tip goes to pin 2 of the XLR (signal), and the RCA ground goes to pins 1 and 3 of the XLR (ground/cold).
• Can I use it with active phantom power? Not recommended. Disable phantom power on the XLR input to avoid sending 48V to an RCA source.
