HosaYMP434 3.5 mm Female TRS to Dual 1/4" TS Stereo Breakout Y-Cable
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 3.5 mm stereo jack split out to two separate 1/4" mono plugs, for feeding a phone or laptop into two mixer or interface inputs.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Running a phone's headphone output into two mixer channels
- Feeding a laptop's stereo output to two interface line inputs
- Keeping left and right separate instead of summing to mono
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a male 3.5 mm end — this side is female
- Guitar or bass signal into an amp
- Long cable runs from stage to front of house
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
Dual 1/4" TS plugs
Each plug carries one channel, unbalanced. Left and right stay separate and need two inputs at the far end.
Detail 03
TRS to TS breakout
It separates the stereo pair. It does not mix left and right into a single mono signal.
Detail 04
Unbalanced 1/4" ends
No noise rejection over distance. Fine for a few feet next to a mixer, worse across a room.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01You need a 3.5 mm male cable or dongle to plug into the female end
- 02Two free 1/4" inputs are required, not one
- 03Pan the two channels hard left and right at the mixer
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I plug my phone straight into this?
Not directly. The 3.5 mm end is female, so you need a 3.5 mm male-to-male cable between the phone and this Y-cable.
02Will this turn stereo into mono?
No. It splits the two channels onto separate plugs. To sum them, use a mixer or a dedicated summing cable.
03Can I use just one of the 1/4" plugs?
Yes, but you only get that one side of the stereo signal. Anything panned to the other channel will be missing.
04Does it work with a guitar amp?
You can run a backing track into a line input, but it is not a guitar cable and will not carry an instrument signal well.
