HosaCYX403M 3.5mm Male TRS to Dual XLR Male Stereo Breakout Y-Cable 3 m
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 3-meter cable that splits a 3.5mm stereo output into two male XLRs, for feeding a phone, laptop, or player into a mixer or PA.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Running a laptop or phone into two mixer channels
- Playing backing tracks through a PA at a gig
- DJ or presentation audio into a house console
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a microphone or instrument connection
- Runs longer than about ten feet from the source
- Gear with female XLR outputs rather than inputs
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
Male XLR ends
They plug into female XLR inputs on a mixer, PA speaker, or DI box. They will not mate with an output.
Detail 03
3 m length
Roughly ten feet. Fine from a table or stage edge to a mixer, short for a front-of-house run.
Detail 04
Unbalanced source, balanced destination
The 3.5mm side is unbalanced, so keep the run short and away from power cables to avoid picking up noise.
Detail 05
Y-cable, not a splitter box
Passive wiring only. No level control, no isolation transformers, no ground lift.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Set your source device volume around 75 percent, then trim levels at the mixer
- 02No adapters included for USB-C or Lightning phones without a headphone jack
- 03Pan the two mixer channels hard left and right to keep stereo
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this to plug a microphone into my phone?
No. The XLR ends are male and feed inputs. This sends audio from a 3.5mm output into XLR inputs, not the other way.
02Will this work with my phone?
Yes, if the phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack. Newer phones without one need a separate USB-C or Lightning adapter.
03Do I plug both XLRs into the mixer?
Yes. Use two channels, one for left and one for right, then pan them apart for stereo.
04How long is the cable?
Three meters, roughly ten feet.
