The adaptor has a metal barrel with ribbed grip detailing and nickel-plated contacts on both the 3.5mm plug and the 6.3mm socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed where audio equipment outputs a stereo signal on a 3.5mm connection but the receiving device requires a mono input on a 6.3mm jack, such as connecting a smartphone or laptop to PA systems, guitar amplifiers, or mixing desks that expect a mono input. The summing process combines both stereo channels equally, preventing loss of content that would occur if only the left or right channel were passed through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal construction provides durability under regular connection and disconnection cycles, and the ribbed grip makes it easier to remove from tight sockets without pulling on cables. The adaptor is a passive component requiring no power, and introduces no signal processing beyond the summing of stereo to mono.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this adaptor sum stereo to mono or just pass one channel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt sums both left and right stereo channels into a single mono output, so content panned to either channel in the stereo mix will be present in the mono output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be used in reverse, from mono 6.3mm to stereo 3.5mm?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhysically the adaptor will connect in reverse, but the mono input will only feed one channel of a stereo output, not create a true stereo signal from a mono source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat cable length or weight can the adaptor support?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal barrel provides structural support for typical 3.5mm cables. Heavier or longer cables may benefit from strain relief at the connection point to avoid repeated stress on the socket.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVSL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45313477116171,"sku":"759.185UK","price":1.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/759185UK_LD1_e92bc916-4bc7-4116-bc50-cf7d946ab965.jpg?v=1715193852","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/qtx-3-5mm-stereo-jack-plug-to-6-3mm-mono-jack-socket-adaptor","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
