Product Information

Full details

This guide is for musicians, audio engineers, and anyone needing to output stereo audio to two separate headphone sets simultaneously from a single 6.35mm (1/4") jack. The key benefit is sharing audio easily and efficiently. A potential caveat is the limited cable length, which may restrict placement in some setups. This adapter allows one stereo jack to be split into two stereo jack outputs, featuring pure copper conductors for reliable signal transfer. Its primary function is to duplicate an audio source to multiple headphones.

FAQs

Can I use this with a 3.5mm headphone jack?

No, this splitter is specifically designed for 6.35mm (1/4") jack sockets. You would need a 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapter to connect it to a 3.5mm jack, but this is not included.

Does this splitter affect audio quality?

The splitter uses pure copper conductors to maintain signal integrity. While it doesn't actively improve audio quality, it is designed to transmit the signal with minimal degradation. However, extreme volume levels from the source could potentially cause distortion in any audio chain.

Can I connect two different types of headphones?

Yes, you can connect any two standard stereo headphones to the splitter's sockets. However, perceived volume levels may differ between headphones due to their impedance and sensitivity.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable length is 150mm, which is approximately 6 inches.

Is this splitter powered?

No, this is a passive splitter and does not require any external power or batteries.

Can I use this for microphone inputs?

No, this splitter is designed for stereo audio outputs (like headphone jacks) and is not suitable for microphone inputs.

Troubleshooting

No sound or weak sound in one or both headphones.

Ensure the 6.35mm plug is fully inserted into the audio source. Check that both headphones are securely plugged into the splitter's sockets. Verify that the audio source volume is turned up and that the individual headphone volumes are also adjusted.

Sound only in one ear of a headphone.

This is likely an issue with the headphone itself or its connection to the splitter. Try a different headphone or ensure the headphone plug is fully seated in the splitter socket.

Crackling or distorted audio.

Clean the 6.35mm plug and sockets with a dry cloth. Ensure the audio source is not clipping or sending a distorted signal. Try connecting directly to the source without the splitter to rule out source issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the 6.35mm (1/4") stereo jack plug to the audio source's stereo headphone or line-out socket.
  2. Connect your two stereo headphones to the two 6.35mm (1/4") stereo jack sockets.
