The 3.5mm plug fits standard headphone outputs on laptops, tablets, MP3 players and portable audio devices, while the two RCA sockets accept standard phono plugs from amplifier, mixer and active speaker cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for connecting consumer audio sources to professional or domestic hi-fi equipment, the adaptor allows a smartphone or laptop headphone output to feed a stereo amplifier, powered speakers or a DJ mixer without needing a dedicated cable. The compact housing sits close to the source device, minimising strain on the 3.5mm socket, and the metal phono socket bodies provide a secure grip on standard phono plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adaptor passes analogue stereo signals only and does not amplify or convert the signal — output volume and quality depend on the source device's headphone output. The black moulded housing measures approximately 40mm in length including the 3.5mm plug, with the two RCA sockets positioned side by side on the opposite end. No external power is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich RCA socket is left and which is right?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RCA sockets follow standard colour coding where available, but check the adaptor body or the source device's manual to confirm channel assignment if critical. Most adaptors mark the sockets or colour-code them red (right) and white (left).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this be used to connect a turntable to a laptop?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This adaptor is an output adaptor, designed to send a signal from a 3.5mm headphone output to RCA inputs. It does not work in reverse, and turntables require a phono preamp stage before connecting to a laptop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it affect sound quality?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adaptor is a passive connector with no active components, so it does not degrade the signal beyond the inherent limitations of the 3.5mm headphone output on the source device. Sound quality depends on the source's DAC and headphone amplifier circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it compatible with balanced or digital signals?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The adaptor is designed for analogue stereo signals only. It will not pass digital audio or balanced signals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVSL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45313477247243,"sku":"759.490UK","price":1.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/759490UK_LD1_ca360051-f68f-4ade-841c-a7f9af118851.jpg?v=1715193858","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/qtx-3-5mm-stereo-jack-plug-to-2-rca-phono-socket-adaptor","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
