Hosa 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

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 have multiple brands of Bluetooth speakers, and some that use Apple Airplay. But, none of them will reliably play in stereo consistently, hour-after-hour. So, I've resorted to actual cables. This little dongle very nicely breaks out the two channels so that one cable can go the the right speaker and one to the left speaker. But what's really great is that two females on this have nothing applied to the "ring" (where the right channel would normally be found). Some other splitters have ground applied to the ring, or simply have a sleeve that is long enough to cause a ground signal in the area where the ring would be, thereby reducing (or completely thwarting) the audio from the speaker. Those other splitters are a problem because all of the speakers have stereo 3.5 mm inputs and use both the left (tip) and right (ring) channels. Using the splitter and then 3.5mm tip, ring and sleeve extension cords works perfectly.

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.

This is the perfect go-to budget-friendly choice for using your headphones if they have 2 male TS inputs. This cable will take your stereo audio (plugs into a TRS-friendly 3.5mm female jack) and splits the audio into left and right. Black female jack of the cable is left and the red one is right.

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" :-)

I bought this to split the timecode signal on my Zoom F6 to TC in and TC out, and this cable does the job perfectly. The white connector sends TC in to Zoom F6 and the red connector sends TC out of Zoom F6. Good build quality.
