Detail 01
TRS to dual TS Y-split
The tip becomes one mono plug, the ring the other. That's exactly what a mixer insert jack expects.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An insert Y-cable: one stereo 1/4" plug splits into two mono 1/4" plugs. For mixer insert points, patching in outboard gear.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Patching a compressor or EQ into a single mixer channel's insert jack
- Splitting a stereo 1/4" output into two mono feeds
- Studio racks where outboard gear lives beside the console
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a straight point-to-point cable — this splits
- Long cable runs; 3.3 feet stays inside the rack
- Guitar or instrument signal paths
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
3.3 ft total length
Long enough to reach from a console insert to gear in the same rack. Not long enough to cross a room.
Detail 03
Two mono ends
One goes to your outboard unit's input, the other to its output. Label them or you'll swap send and return.
Detail 04
1/4" throughout
Matches standard mixer and rack gear jacks. No XLR or 1/8" connections without adapters.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Send and return legs aren't always obvious — check which is tip before wiring
- 02One cable serves one channel; a stereo insert needs two
- 03This is not a stereo-to-two-speakers cable, despite the connectors looking right
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which end is send and which is return?
On most consoles the tip carries send and the ring carries return. Check your mixer's manual — some flip it, and swapping the two gives you no signal.
02Can I use this to split a headphone output to two amps?
It will physically split left and right into two mono plugs, so yes for that purpose. It won't duplicate one signal to two destinations.
03Do I need one per channel?
Yes. Each insert jack takes its own Y-cable, so stereo or multiple channels means buying multiples.
04Will this work with a TS insert jack?
No. Insert points require a TRS jack to carry send and return on one connector. A TS jack has no ring to split.
