Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

One-foot XLR splitter cable — one male XLR feeds two female XLRs. For sending a single mic or line signal to two destinations at a fixed patch point.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Splitting one mic line to a house console and a recording rig
  • Short patch runs inside a rack where cable slack is a problem
  • Feeding two inputs from one source without a rack splitter

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone needing reach — one foot goes almost nowhere
  • Combining two mics into one input; splitters run one direction
  • Situations needing ground isolation between the two legs

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

Male XLR to two female XLR

Source plugs into the male end. The two female ends accept standard mic cables running to your destinations.

Detail 02

1 ft. length

This is a patch tail, not a run. Add regular XLR cables off each female end to reach gear.

Detail 03

Y split (passive)

The signal divides between two loads, so each destination sees a slightly weaker signal than a direct run.

Detail 04

Balanced XLR throughout

Keeps the noise rejection of a balanced line, so the split does not turn into a hum magnet.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Phantom power travels down both legs — check both destinations tolerate it
  2. 02No transformer isolation here, so ground loops between devices stay possible
  3. 03You still need two full-length XLR cables to reach anything

Product questions

Before you decide

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

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

No. It splits one source to two destinations. Running two mics into one input causes phase and loading problems and is not what this cable does.

02Will phantom power work through it?

Phantom passes through the connection, but it reaches both female ends. Make sure neither connected device is damaged by 48V on its output.

03Does the signal get quieter when split?

Slightly. Two loads share one source, so each leg sees a small level drop. Usually minor with modern preamps, more noticeable with weak sources.

04Is one foot really long enough?

Only as a patch tail at the source or in a rack. Plan on standard XLR cables from each female end to your gear.
