Audio Y cable for dual-source routing

The Hosa 18" XLR Male to Dual XLR Female Y cable splits one balanced input into two separate microphone or line-level sources. It is built for stage, studio and broadcast situations where a single console channel must accept two signals. Oxygen-free copper conductors and a spiral OFC shield preserve signal integrity while rejecting EMI and RFI. The compact length keeps cable runs tidy on crowded podiums or desktop interfaces.

Passive split limits signal level and routing

Because the cable is a passive Y, each leg shares the same conductor path back to the single XLR male plug. This means the combined load appears as one source to the preamp, so gain must be set for the louder of the two inputs. No individual level control, polarity reversal or phantom-power isolation is provided; both microphones receive identical phantom voltage if the mixer supplies it. Long runs beyond the supplied length add capacitance that can roll off high frequencies.

Handles two dynamic or condenser mics on one channel

The assembly comfortably accommodates a pair of standard dynamic or condenser microphones, wireless receivers or direct boxes feeding a single mixer input. Headroom is defined by the preamp feeding the male XLR; the cable itself adds negligible loss at 18 inches. It cannot sum line-level outputs from powered devices without risk of clipping or impedance mismatch, and it does not replace an active mixer or transformer isolator for critical applications.

Questions about this item

Is the 18" length right for my rack patching or do I need a longer run?

At 18 inches the Y cable is built for short patch distances such as linking two microphones to a single mixer input inside a rack or on a small stage; if your sources sit farther away you will need a longer cable.

Will the oxygen-free copper and spiral shield keep my signal clean on a noisy stage?

The oxygen-free copper conductors and OFC spiral shield are designed to reject EMI and RFI, so the cable maintains crisp, clear audio even in environments with high electronic activity.

How does the single XLR male and dual XLR female wiring work with a mixer input?

The XLR male plugs into one mixer or interface channel while the two XLR females accept two microphones or sources, summing them to that single input.
