Audio cable CORDIAL EY 1 WRMM — 1 m, 3.5 mm male to 2× XLR (3-pin) female, black

The CORDIAL EY 1 WRMM is a 1 m Y-adapter cable that converts a 3.5 mm right-angle stereo mini-jack output into two separate XLR channels. It is designed to split a stereo mini-jack signal to two balanced XLR lines for connection to mixers, audio interfaces or stage equipment. The cable features molded bend protection for improved durability and a flexible PVC jacket for ease of handling.

Advantages

The cable combines a compact 3.5 mm angled connector with two XLR terminations to provide a simple, space-saving solution for splitting stereo signals. Spiral shielding and a conductor area of 0.14 mm² reduce susceptibility to external interference, while the single-strand conductor construction and flexible jacket deliver good flexibility and reliable mechanical performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting portable players or laptops with a 3.5 mm stereo output to mixer XLR inputs
• Splitting stereo outputs to two balanced microphone/line inputs on stage or in studios
• Temporary setups and mobile recording where a short, flexible Y-adapter is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for audio splitting and not for long-distance transmission; its 1 m length limits reach in larger installations. It is also not a dedicated high-gauge microphone cable for permanent studio wiring where heavier-duty multicore or balanced cables may be preferred.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connector A: 3.5 mm angled stereo mini-jack (male)
• Connector B: 2 × XLR, 3-pin (female)
• Conductor cross-section: 0.14 mm² (single-strand: 18 × 0.10 mm)
• Shielding: spiral shielding
• Jacket material: flexible PVC
• Colour: black

How to use

Insert the 3.5 mm angled male plug into the stereo output of a device such as a laptop, smartphone adapter or portable player. Connect the two XLR female connectors to the respective left and right XLR inputs on a mixer, interface or stage box. Ensure input levels and routing on connected equipment are set appropriately to avoid clipping or level mismatch.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length — 1 m may be insufficient for large setups
• Compatibility of the source: 3.5 mm stereo output versus balanced XLR inputs
• Whether a purpose-built balanced line or higher-gauge cable is needed for permanent installations

Usage recommendations

Use this Y-adapter for short, direct connections between consumer stereo outputs and XLR inputs, and keep cable runs short to maintain signal integrity.
