Know before you buy
Yes, this cable is designed to bridge consumer devices like smartphones or laptops with professional audio gear. It will split the stereo 3.5mm output into two separate 1/4-inch mono inputs on your mixer.
It does. You can use it to split a stereo mini signal into two mono 1/4-inch connections, or use it in reverse to combine two mono 1/4-inch signals into a single stereo mini connection.
This is an unbalanced cable. The 1/4-inch connectors are TS (Tip-Sleeve), which are standard for unbalanced mono signals.
The cable measures approximately 6 inches (15 cm) in length. It is intended for close-proximity connections, such as plugging into a nearby interface or patch bay, rather than spanning long distances across a room.
No, this cable is designed for audio signal routing only. It does not support the extra channel required for microphone input on a headset.
