Product Information
Full details
The Pro Signal PSG01663 is an essential connectivity tool for audiophiles, musicians, and audio engineers who need to bridge the gap between professional-grade gear and consumer audio devices. It is designed for those who need to connect a 6.35mm (1/4-inch) headphone or instrument cable into a standard 3.5mm (1/8-inch) jack, offering a seamless way to integrate studio hardware with laptops, smartphones, or portable players. While it provides a reliable physical connection, users should be aware that it does not alter impedance or signal levels, meaning high-impedance professional headphones may still require an external amplifier for optimal volume.

FAQs
Does this support microphone input?
This adaptor is designed for stereo audio output; it may not support microphone signals depending on the wiring of your specific device.
Can I use this to connect my phone to a guitar amplifier?
Yes, but you will need an appropriate 3.5mm to 6.35mm cable to feed the signal into the amplifier's input.
Will this reduce audio quality?
No, as a passive component, it maintains the integrity of the signal path.
Is this compatible with TRRS jacks (headsets with mics)?
It is designed for TRS (Stereo) connections; compatibility with TRRS headsets may be limited or require specific device settings.
Does it require any software?
No, it is a purely hardware-based mechanical adaptor.
Troubleshooting
Sound only coming from one side (Mono audio)
Ensure the 6.35mm plug is pushed fully into the adaptor and the adaptor is fully inserted into the jack.
Intermittent crackling or static
Check that the connection points are clean of dust or debris and verify the cable itself is not damaged.
Volume is very low
Check your device software volume settings; if using high-impedance headphones, the source may require an external headphone amplifier.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Simple, robust physical design
- Provides secure connection for stereo audio
- Compact and lightweight for easy transport
- Universal compatibility with standard audio jacks
Cons
- Does not amplify audio signals
- Weight of professional cables may put stress on smaller 3.5mm ports
- Cannot convert mono signals to stereo
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: insert your 6.35mm cable plug fully into the receptacle end of the Pro Signal adaptor until you feel a positive click or secure fit. Once connected, plug the 3.5mm end into your audio source device.
Compatibility covers almost all standard 3.5mm stereo jacks, including those on tablets, smartphones (if equipped with a port), and computers. To ensure longevity, keep the gold-plated or metal contacts clean by occasionally wiping them with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid bending the adaptor at sharp angles while it is inserted into a device, as this can damage the internal contacts of your source equipment.
