Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A 10-foot cable that splits a stereo 3.5mm output into two separate mono 1/4" plugs. For sending a phone, laptop, or MP3 player into two mixer channels.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Running a phone or laptop into two mixer line inputs
  • Feeding a stereo source into two separate powered speakers
  • Connecting a small device to a DI or interface pair

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone needing balanced TRS ends — both 1/4" plugs are mono
  • Guitar or instrument cable duty over long runs
  • Splitting one mono source to two destinations without loss

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Stereo mini male on one end

It plugs into a headphone jack. Left and right are carried on one 3.5mm connector.

Detail 02

Two 1/4" mono males

Left goes to one plug, right to the other. Each destination gets one channel, not a stereo pair.

Detail 03

10 ft length

Enough to reach from a table or stage floor to a mixer without coiling slack everywhere.

Detail 04

Y-cable construction

One jacket splits into two near the 1/4" end. The split point is the usual wear spot.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01The 1/4" plugs are unbalanced — expect noise on long runs near power
  2. 02Nothing included beyond the cable itself
  3. 03Check your mixer wants 1/4", not RCA or XLR, at those inputs

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this work with my phone?

Yes, if your phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack. Newer phones without one need a USB-C or Lightning adapter first.

02Can I plug a guitar into this?

No. A guitar uses a single mono 1/4" out. This cable starts at a 3.5mm stereo source and splits from there.

03Does it split into left and right?

Yes. One 1/4" plug carries the left channel, the other carries the right.

04Is it balanced?

No. The 1/4" ends are mono and unbalanced, so keep the run short and away from power cables.
