Audio cable ProXtend 3-pin XLR (male) to 2× RCA (female) M32XRCAF-002, unbalanced stereo, 0.2 m

ProXtend M32XRCAF-002 is a short adapter cable that converts a single 3-pin XLR output into two unbalanced RCA channels. With a male XLR connector on one end and two female RCA connectors on the other, this 0.2 m cable is intended for patching balanced microphone or line-level signals into consumer stereo inputs. Its compact length reduces cable clutter and is suitable for use in tight studio, broadcast or live-sound setups where a direct, short connection is required.

Advantages

The cable provides a simple, passive method to split an XLR output into left and right RCA inputs without active electronics. Its short 0.2 m length minimizes signal degradation and interference for near-field connections. The combination of a sturdy 3-pin XLR male and two RCA female connectors ensures compatibility with common professional and consumer audio equipment, enabling reliable signal transfer when converting from balanced to unbalanced lines.

Suitable for

• Connecting microphone or mixer XLR outputs to home stereo amplifiers or recording devices with RCA inputs
• Short patching in studio or broadcast racks where a balanced output must be routed to unbalanced inputs
• Live-sound setups requiring compact adapters for integrating professional gear with consumer playback systems

Key specifications

• Connector A: 3-pin XLR male (balanced source connection)
• Connector B: 2 × RCA female (unbalanced stereo inputs)
• Cable type: audio adapter cable, passive conversion from balanced to unbalanced
• Length: 0.2 m
• Channel configuration: stereo split from single XLR to two RCAs
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the 3-pin XLR male connector into the balanced XLR output on a microphone, mixer or other audio device. Connect the two RCA female ends to the left and right RCA inputs of a stereo amplifier, recorder or consumer audio interface. Ensure the correct channel assignment so that the left RCA corresponds to the intended channel. Because this is a passive unbalancing adapter, set appropriate gain levels on the receiving device to avoid clipping or excessive noise when converting from a balanced to an unbalanced signal.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short, direct connections only. For longer runs or where galvanic isolation and noise rejection are required, use a proper transformer or active DI/unbalancing device. Verify input sensitivity and grounding on connected equipment to reduce hum or ground-loop noise when interfacing professional balanced outputs with consumer unbalanced inputs.
