YMM-261 3.5 mm TRS to Dual 3.5 mm TSF Stereo Breakout Cable

Shockingly Good Fix for Dead Computer Speakers — Highly Recommended! When my computer speakers died, I didn’t want to waste money on cheap replacements—especially since I’m saving up for high-end Yamaha monitor speakers. I already own four UE Booms that I usually use for patio music, so I decided to repurpose two of them as temporary desktop speakers. Bluetooth was a bust. While they worked fine for music, syncing them with my computer for video was a nightmare. The “Double Up” function was clunky and unreliable, and audio lag made it useless for anything beyond casual listening. I needed a wired solution. I tried a standard 3.5mm splitter, but it only gave me mono sound—both speakers played the same channel, which ruined the stereo experience. Then I found this gem of a stereo splitter. As soon as I plugged it into my headphone jack and connected both speakers, I got true stereo output. I tested it using a YouTube stereo test video, and it worked flawlessly. Of course, you won’t get deep bass from UE Booms in a desktop setup, but the sound quality was surprisingly good—definitely better than the budget speakers I tried out at Best Buy. Best part? I already had the speakers. This splitter turned what I thought would be a frustrating compromise into a genuinely enjoyable setup. If you have a similar configuration and want a temporary but effective solution, I highly recommend this splitter

Excellent stereo to separate mono adapter!

I use a cam recorder to record Church Services. We have a system of mikes that miss some of the service. I added a small mike but could not record on both mike systems. With this I can connect and record on both mike systems as left and right mono tracks recorded on one stereo track. When processing the video I remove the sound track and break it to left and right mono tracks. A track for each mike system. I then load the 2 mono tracks on my video in place of the one stereo track and edit my video to get the sound I want form each of the 2 tracks. Just have to mute the track you don't want to play for a section of the video. The video of a service is then processed and used to upload to our web site and make dvd's for our shut ins who don't have internet. Highly recommend this inexpensive cord - well made and does the job.

I use the splitter to get a true stereo L/R signal (from my phone) to send to a pair of KEF Muo’s. Like many people my phone has a case. Unfortunately, the 3.5mm male adapter is not compatible with a typical phone case. In today’s phone centric world, I’m not sure how the development engineer didn’t recognize this and use a compatible male adapter. Also, the way the internal female connections are wired, it did introduce a slight hum to the signal in my configuration. Fortunately, I was able to figure this out and eliminate the hum using another adapter on the speaker end.

Male stereo to a mono left and right females. It worked! It was cheap too, so durability remains an unknown

This adapter splits a Tip-Ring-Sleeve stereo microphone (or speaker) jack into two mono Tip-Sleeve jacks, one for the left channel and one for the right. This is great for recording interviews: clip one lapel mic on one person, another on the second, and record both at the same time. You can also use this adapter to split a headphone jack into separate left and right channels to use with speakers. You may have to amplify the signal or perform impedance matching for this application, however. This adapter has a high build quality. The plug, cables, and jacks appear are heavy-duty and able to withstand moderate abuse. Although one should be careful and avoid putting stress on any type of wire or cable, this adapter seems strong enough for years of use. Five stars because the adapter works well and is a good value.

I am an Amateur Radio operator. I purchased this cable to allow me to connect both a radio control interface (CAT / CI-V) and a speaker to the "Band B" output of an Icom ID-5100A radio. I purchased a USB to "CI-V" CAT control cable from Mark, bluemax49ers here on Amazon. This was plugged into the red connector labeled as "Ring". At the same time I plugged a speaker into the black connector labeled as "Tip". On the Ring (CI-V) side, I'm able to control the radio with several programs. On the Tip (Speaker) side, I can hear the expected audio out of the Band B side of the radio. This may be an unexpected use of this cable; however, it works great for my application. One suggestion for Hosa: Add a few more pictures. Show the "TIP" and "RING" labels. Those labels were especially helpful as I didn't have to break out my meter to figure out which connector was which. Also, thanks for following the alliterative "R" rule: For Audio - "Red on Right". In this case "Red on Ring" :-)

The cable splits the channels perfectly. I haven't noticed any loss of quality from the cables, and they seem to be built sturdily. I bought them so that I could get true stereo sound off of a set of two portable speakers. I plug the male end into the audio source, and the two speakers into each female end, the black is the left channel (conducted through the tip of a TRS jack), the red is right channel (conducted through the ring of a TRS jack.) Previously to buying this one, I bought a little jack from Radio Shack that was supposed to do the same thing, but for some odd reason it's manufactured with the ground in the wrong spot (on the ring, or the tip, instead of the sleeve I think?) and the consequences were that it only worked with non powered devices plugged in (such as headphones) but didn't work with amplified or powered devices (such as rechargeable portable speakers.) But anyways, this item is doing what the Radio Shack item couldn't.

Transforme sortie stéréo en deux entrées mono droite et gauche. Parfait pour brancher deux enceintes portables en aux avec vrai son stéréo. Et surtout pas de latence comme avec le bluetooth donc parfait pour du gaming.

Sirve muy bien y la verdad si es de buena calidad

Gayet başarılı.

Works as expected.

Useful for a DSLR which only has one microphone input when you want to use two microphones at the same time, puts one microphone on the left track and one on the right, lead seems well made, no crackle when moving, also short enough to not get tangled up in! This is suitable for audio inputs on cameras etc but not suitable for mobile devices such as phones or tablets
