Strong match

Who this is for

  • Feeding one signal to a console and a recorder simultaneously
  • Tight patch bays where a long splitter cable would coil up
  • Short runs between rack gear inputs at the same position

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Combining two mics into one input — that loads sources against each other
  • Anyone needing reach; one foot goes almost nowhere
  • Splits needing isolation, where a transformer splitter belongs instead

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

1 ft length

This is a patch tail, not a run. Both destinations must sit within about a foot.

Detail 02

Female XLR to two male XLR

The female end takes the mic or source cable; the two male ends go into two inputs.

Detail 03

Passive Y split

No transformer or buffer, so both destinations share the source. Level can drop on some sources.

Detail 04

Black jacket

Disappears in a dark rack or on a stage floor. Label the ends if you need to trace it.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No transformer isolation — ground loops between the two destinations can still hum
  2. 02Phantom power fed to both male ends reaches the source together, not separately
  3. 03You still need standard XLR cables to reach the mic and the inputs

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Can I use this to plug two microphones into one input?

Not recommended. It is built to split one source to two destinations. Running two mics into it makes them load each other and degrades both signals.

02Will phantom power pass through it?

It passes through the connection, but with both male ends tied together the source sees whatever the destinations supply. Use one phantom source, not two.

03Does splitting cut my signal level?

It can. A passive split divides the source across two inputs, so you may see a drop depending on the source and the input impedances.

04Is one foot really long enough?

Only for gear sitting side by side or in the same rack. Plan on regular XLR cables to cover any actual distance.
