We offer our MSA-1 in a variety of additional connector options AND in Y-cable and phase-split cable versions. Please be sure you are ordering from the correct table below, as the wiring of each of these differs from the others. The first table contains all of the connector options we offer for conventionally-wired left/right audio, the only difference between this and our main connector options being that these cables are not returnable for refund unless defective. The second table shows the same connector options but is for Y-cables, and the third table shows phase-split configurations; these are likewise non-returnable.
Unless we are otherwise instructed by you, the standard wiring will be:
Cables ordered in this table carry only one channel of audio; they may be used to split or combine unbalanced analog audio signals. Bear in mind that while Y-cables work just fine in many applications, there will be situations where they do not, e.g., where device impedances or line levels are significantly different. If you need a balanced Y cable, do not order here; go to our balanced audio department.
NOTE:Unless otherwise instructed, we will strip the outer jacket, on a Y cable, from about six inches of cable. If your application requires a longer split than that, you must send us a note with your order to let us know how long a split you need. When writing, please do not tell us how far apart the jacks are; instead, tell us how many feet of jacket you would like stripped at the two-connector end.
WARNING: This is an odd application; if you don't know what it is, you don't want it. A phase-splitting cable has a balanced audio connector (TRS or XLR) at one end, to connect to a balanced device, and has two unbalanced connectors at the other end. One of these unbalanced connectors carries the "non-inverted" or "plus" side of the balanced line, and the other carries the "inverted" or "minus" side.
