The SA-Y4 XLR splitter cable solves a common problem for live sound engineers, DJs, and recording professionals: sending one balanced XLR signal to two destinations simultaneously. This 1-foot cable features one XLR male connector splitting to two XLR female outputs.

This splitter handles balanced audio signals without degradation, making it perfect for parallel connections in professional audio setups. The short 1-foot length keeps your rack or stage setup clean and organized while maintaining signal integrity.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, the SA-Y4 delivers reliable performance in demanding live sound environments. The balanced XLR connections ensure professional-grade signal transfer with minimal noise interference.

Common applications include splitting a microphone signal to both front-of-house and monitor consoles, sending one source to two amplifier inputs for stereo processing, or creating parallel feeds for recording and live sound simultaneously. This cable works in any venue where you need to distribute a single XLR source to multiple destinations.

The SA-Y4 connects directly between XLR sources and destinations—no additional adapters required. The compact 1-foot design fits easily in tight spaces behind mixing consoles or in equipment racks.

Every SA-Y4 comes with Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and ships fast from our warehouse. Professional reliability at a price that works for working musicians and sound engineers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this XLR splitter cable used for?

The SA-Y4 splits one balanced XLR signal into two identical outputs. Common uses include sending a microphone to both main and monitor mixing consoles, connecting one source to two amplifier inputs, or creating parallel recording and live sound feeds. It maintains signal integrity while allowing one input to feed multiple destinations.

Can I use this to combine two XLR signals into one?

No, the SA-Y4 is designed for signal splitting only, not combining. Using it to combine two sources into one input could damage equipment and create signal conflicts. For combining signals, you need a proper mixing console or summing device that can handle multiple inputs safely.

Will this cable work with phantom power?

Yes, the SA-Y4 passes phantom power through its balanced XLR connections. If phantom power is present on the male input, it will be available at both female outputs. This makes it suitable for splitting condenser microphone signals that require phantom power to both destinations.

How does the 1-foot length affect signal quality?

The short 1-foot length actually benefits signal quality by minimizing cable runs and potential interference. This length is ideal for rack-mounted equipment, mixing console connections, or any setup where you need to split signals over a short distance without adding unnecessary cable length to your signal chain.

What venues or applications work best with this splitter?

This splitter works in any venue where you need parallel XLR connections - from small clubs to large concert halls. It's particularly useful in recording studios, houses of worship, corporate events, and live music venues where engineers need to send signals to multiple consoles or recording devices simultaneously.
