Procab PROCAB CLA712/1.5 cable — 3.5 mm stereo jack (M) to 2× XLR (M), 1.5 m

Procab CLA712/1.5 is a 1.5 m audio cable that converts a 3.5 mm stereo jack (male) to two male XLR connectors. It enables connection of consumer devices with a 3.5 mm stereo output, such as laptops, portable players and cameras, to professional audio equipment with XLR inputs like mixers, PA systems and recorders while splitting the stereo signal into separate left and right channels.

Advantages

The cable features durable connectors and a flexible, shielded cable core that minimizes interference and preserves audio clarity. Its 1.5 m length provides a compromise between reach and manageability on stage or in the studio. The direct 3.5 mm TRS to dual XLR wiring avoids the need for adapters or separate DI boxes when feeding balanced or unbalanced line inputs on professional gear.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops, tablets or portable media players to mixing consoles
• Feeding camera audio into external recorders or PA systems
• Broadcast and podcast setups requiring stereo split to two XLR inputs
• Live sound situations where a consumer‑grade output must interface with professional equipment

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Input connector: 3.5 mm stereo jack (male, TRS)
• Output connectors: 2 × XLR male
• Function: stereo signal split to left and right channels
• Construction: shielded audio cable with molded strain reliefs

How to use

Insert the 3.5 mm stereo jack into the headphone or line output of the source device. Connect the two XLR male plugs to the left and right XLR inputs on the mixer, recorder or PA system, observing channel assignment. Set input levels on the receiving equipment to avoid clipping, and use trim/gain controls to match signal strengths. For best results, keep the cable away from power lines and large electromagnetic sources.

Usage recommendations

Use balanced XLR inputs where available; if the source output is unbalanced, set gain levels accordingly and check for ground loop hum. Store the cable coiled loosely to prevent kinks and avoid excessive bending near the connector boots.
