HosaCMR-210 Stereo Y-cable Mini Male-Two RCA Males 3 ft.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Three-foot Y-cable splitting a 3.5mm stereo plug into left and right RCA plugs. For sending a phone, laptop, or player into RCA inputs.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Running a laptop or phone into a mixer's RCA inputs
- Connecting a music player to a home stereo or powered speakers
- Break music through a PA between sets
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing RCA out to a 3.5mm input, the reverse direction
- Runs longer than a few feet from source to mixer
- Balanced connections, since RCA and this plug are unbalanced
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 02
Two RCA male plugs
Goes into RCA input jacks. It cannot connect to gear that has RCA plugs sticking out.
Detail 03
3 ft. length
Enough to reach a mixer sitting beside you. Not enough to reach across a stage or room.
Detail 04
Unbalanced signal path
Susceptible to hum over distance or near power cables. Keep the run short and away from AC lines.
Detail 05
Y-cable, not a splitter for two outputs
It separates one stereo signal into two mono channels. It does not duplicate one source to two destinations.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your inputs are RCA jacks, not 1/4" or 3.5mm
- 02Three feet goes fast. Measure from the source to the input
- 03Nothing included but the cable. No adapters in the box
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this to connect a turntable to a mixer?
Only if the mixer input is 3.5mm and the turntable has RCA outputs, and this cable's RCA ends are male, so they will not mate with a turntable's male RCA plugs.
02Will it work in reverse, RCA source into a 3.5mm input?
Electrically yes, if the RCA ends go into output jacks and the 3.5mm end into an input. Both ends are male, so the jack genders have to line up.
03Does it keep stereo separation?
Yes. The tip and ring of the 3.5mm plug feed the two RCA plugs separately, so left and right stay independent.
04Is three feet long enough for a phone to a PA?
Only if the phone sits right at the mixer. For anything farther you would need a longer cable or an extension.
