Audio cable CORDIAL EY 0.3 FMM — XLR (3-pin) female to 2× XLR (3-pin) male, 0.3 m, black

The CORDIAL EY 0.3 FMM is a compact Y-adapter cable that splits one balanced XLR (3-pin) female output into two balanced XLR (3-pin) male outputs over a 0.3 m length. It is designed for linking balanced microphone or line-level signals when distributing a single output to two inputs in stage, studio, or live sound setups. The cable construction combines AWG 26 conductors, spiral shielding and a flexible PVC jacket for signal protection and handling durability.

Advantages

The molded bend protection at the connector ensures longer durability and higher mating cycles. A conductor area of 0.14 mm² with single-strand (18 × 0.10 mm) construction and spiral shielding reduce susceptibility to external interference while keeping the cable flexible and easy to route. Its short 0.3 m length minimizes signal loss and clutter when splitting signals close to sources or devices.

Suitable for

• Splitting a balanced microphone output to feed two microphone preamps or channels
• Sending a balanced line-level output to two inputs on mixing consoles or DI boxes
• Short, tidy connections in live stage setups and rehearsal spaces
• Studio patching where a single output needs to be duplicated to two inputs

When it may not be suitable

Because the cable is only 0.3 m long, it is not intended for long-distance runs; use longer, properly shielded cables for extended routing. Also note that passive splitting can affect impedance and level in some systems — for critical matching or level control, consider an active splitter or transformer solution.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.3 m
• Connectors: 1 × XLR (3-pin) female to 2 × XLR (3-pin) male
• Conductor construction: single-strand 18 × 0.10 mm (AWG 26 equivalent)
• Conductor area: 0.14 mm²
• Shielding: spiral shielding
• Jacket material: flexible PVC
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect the XLR female end to the output source (microphone preamp, mixer output or DI). Plug the two XLR male ends into the target inputs you wish to feed. Keep the cable run short to maintain signal integrity and avoid routing near high-power or RF sources. Ensure equipment is powered and levels are set appropriately to prevent clipping or impedance mismatch when splitting signals.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended cable length (0.3 m) — suitable for short, close connections only
• Passive Y-splitting may alter signal level or impedance in some setups
• Compatibility with balanced XLR equipment (3-pin) required
• Black colour and flexible PVC jacket for general stage and studio use

Usage recommendations

Use the CORDIAL EY 0.3 FMM for short-distance splits close to the signal source. For critical level matching or long runs, prefer active splitters or transformer-isolated solutions to maintain signal integrity.
