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

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 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 bought this product to allow my recorder (Olympus VN721PC 2GB Digital Voice Recorder) to record two lav mics in a multi-track setup. With this recorder, the lav mic plugged in to the tip plug comes in on the left channel and not the right channel, and the lav mic plugged in to the ring plug comes in on the right channel and not the left channel. Thus allowing me to capture track separated audio.That said, when I tried this with a USB soundcard plugged in to my computer, this did not happen. Because that USB soundcard didn't allow for channel-separated audio and it came in as channel blended, balanced stereo (in other words both channels were showing the duplication of a mono feed made by combining the tip and ring inputs).SO if you are going to use this for the purpose of muli-track recording, you need to make sure that the device with which you are recording is capable of recording a left channel and a right channel separately.And for those who are curious, these are the lav mics I used: Sony ECMCS3 Clip Style Omnidirectional Stereo Microphone, Silver

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.

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.

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" :-)

Works great 2 amplifies output record to a tape recorder.

I recently purchased the Hosa YMM-261 3.5 mm TRS to Dual 3.5 mm TSF Stereo Breakout Cable, and I am quite disappointed with its performance.The primary issue is the sound quality. When using this cable, I noticed a significant drop in audio clarity and an increase in noise and static. The audio output was distorted and lacked the crispness and depth I expected. This is particularly frustrating when trying to enjoy music or ensure clear audio during recordings.Additionally, the build quality of the cable feels subpar. The connectors do not fit securely into the ports, leading to intermittent connections and further degrading the sound quality. This instability makes the cable unreliable for any serious audio work.Overall, the Hosa YMM-261 failed to meet my expectations due to its poor sound quality and unreliable performance. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for a high-quality audio connection. Look for a better alternative that ensures clear and consistent sound.
