Audio cable Procab 3.5mm stereo male to 2× 6.3mm mono male, model 1KPCL052

Procab 3.5mm stereo male to 2× 6.3mm mono male cable model 1KPCL052 is an audio lead designed to split a stereo 3.5 mm mini-jack signal into two separate mono 6.3 mm outputs. It enables connection of portable audio sources with a headphone or line-out socket to professional audio equipment such as mixers, amplifiers, stage consoles and recording interfaces. The cable is suitable for routing left and right channels from laptops, smartphones or portable players into balanced or unbalanced mono inputs on pro audio devices.

Advantages

This Procab cable provides a straightforward passive signal split without the need for adapters, allowing a compact connection between consumer stereo outputs and professional 6.3 mm mono inputs. It simplifies setup by preserving channel separation while offering the common 6.3 mm connector format used on stage and studio equipment. The cable is practical for quick patching and monitoring tasks where a direct, no-electronics conversion is required.

Suitable for

• Connecting a laptop, smartphone or portable player to a mixer or amplifier
• Routing stereo output to two mono inputs for live sound or rehearsal
• Patching consumer audio devices into stage or studio equipment
• Recording from a stereo source into two separate mono channels

Key specifications

• Connector A: 3.5 mm stereo male (mini-jack)
• Connector B: two 6.3 mm mono male plugs
• Function: passive stereo-to-dual-mono split
• Typical use: line-level signal transfer from consumer to professional equipment

How to use

Insert the 3.5 mm stereo plug into the headphone or line output of the source device. Connect the two 6.3 mm mono plugs into the left and right input channels of the target equipment, observing channel assignment so left and right remain correctly routed. Use the cable for line-level connections; avoid relying on it for microphone-level signals unless the target device supports line-level inputs. Handle connectors by the housings when plugging and unplugging to reduce strain on the cable terminations.

Usage recommendations

For best results, set source and destination levels conservatively before playback to prevent clipping. If connecting to balanced inputs, verify whether the destination accepts unbalanced 6.3 mm plugs; use proper DI boxes or isolation devices if long cable runs or ground-loop issues occur.
