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

The CORDIAL EY 3 WRMM is a 3 m Y-adapter cable that converts a single 3.5 mm right-angle stereo mini jack into two XLR connectors, allowing a stereo or line-level 3.5 mm output to be split into two balanced channels. The cable features molded bend protection for improved durability and high mating cycles, a conductor cross-section of 0.14 mm² with 26 AWG single-strand conductors (18 × 0.10 mm), spiral shielding to reduce external interference, and a flexible PVC jacket in black.

Advantages

This adapter provides a compact solution for splitting a 3.5 mm stereo output to two XLR channels, useful for connecting consumer devices to professional audio equipment. The molded bend protection and flexible PVC jacket increase mechanical durability while the spiral shielding and defined conductor construction help preserve signal integrity during use.

Suitable for

• Splitting headphone or line-level 3.5 mm outputs to two balanced XLR inputs
• Connecting portable audio sources to mixers or PA systems
• Small live-sound setups, field recording, and home studio routing

When it may not be suitable

This cable adapts an unbalanced 3.5 mm stereo output to two XLR connectors but does not convert signal levels or provide active impedance matching. It is not a substitute for a dedicated DI box or an active stereo-to-balanced converter when professional level matching, ground lift, or isolation is required. For long cable runs beyond the intended 3 m length, use proper balanced cabling or active solutions to avoid noise and level loss.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Connector A: 3.5 mm right-angle stereo mini jack (male)
• Connector B: 2 × XLR, 3-pin (male)
• Conductor area: 0.14 mm² (26 AWG equivalent), single-strand construction (18 × 0.10 mm)
• Shielding: spiral shielding
• Jacket material and colour: flexible PVC, black

How to use

Insert the 3.5 mm right-angle plug into the source device’s headphone or line-level output and connect the two XLR ends to the target inputs on a mixer, audio interface, or PA system. Ensure correct channel routing on the receiving equipment and set input gain appropriately. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends near the molded bend protection to prolong service life.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether you need passive splitting or an active DI/level-matching solution
• Required cable length for your setup—this model is 3 m long
• Compatibility of your source output level and the receiving equipment’s input sensitivity

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the CORDIAL EY 3 WRMM for short runs from portable players or laptops to mixers or interfaces and verify gain staging on the receiving device. If you experience ground loops or level mismatch, consider adding a dedicated DI box or an active stereo-to-balanced converter.
