How to use

Plug the 3.5 mm male connector into the headphone or audio output of your source device. Insert the headphone plugs or line inputs into the two 3.5 mm female sockets.

Usage recommendations

For best results use the MACLEAN MCTV-580 for short-distance connections between portable devices and headphones or line-level inputs. Avoid using this passive splitter to feed long cable runs or professional equipment that requires isolated outputs or balanced signals. Monitor listening levels when two headphones are connected simultaneously to prevent excessive volume.
