The PD Connex CX142 is a stereo XLR Y-splitter cable that converts a single male XLR input into two female XLR outputs. It enables one audio source to feed two simultaneous destinations, making it a practical tool for live sound, studio routing, and broadcast setups.
Converts 1× XLR male input into 2× XLR female outputs for dual-path audio routing
Stereo signal path preserves phase coherence across both output channels
0.5 m compact length keeps signal path short and reduces cable clutter at the patch point
Black PVC jacket blends into standard studio and stage cable runs
What sets the CX142 apart
The CX142 uses a Y-splitter architecture rather than a simple passthrough, meaning one active source drives two receiving devices in parallel. The 0.5 m length is deliberately short to minimise signal degradation and keep the splitter close to the source — a design choice that matters in tight rack or stage environments where cable management is critical.
Ideal for...
Sound engineers and AV technicians who need to split a single XLR feed to two mixers, recorders, or monitor paths without adding extra stages of amplification or signal processing. Also suited for broadcast and podcast setups where one microphone input must reach two separate recording channels simultaneously.
Application of PD Connex CX142
Connect the male XLR end to the audio source — mixer output, microphone preamp, or DI box. Plug the two female XLR ends into the receiving devices such as a main mixer, a backup recorder, or a monitor send. The 0.5 m length allows the splitter to sit directly at the source, keeping the overall cable run tidy and reducing the risk of accidental disconnections.
Attach male XLR to source
Connect both female XLR outputs to destination devices
Route cable along desk or stage, securing with velcro ties
PD Connex is a specialist audio connectivity brand focused on professional XLR, Speakon, and patch cables for live sound, studio, and broadcast applications. The product line emphasises reliable signal integrity, durable construction, and standard-compliant connectors across its range of analog and digital interconnects.
The CX142 splits a single XLR male audio source into two XLR female outputs, allowing one signal to feed two devices simultaneously — useful for live sound routing, studio recording, and broadcast setups.
Side A (input) features one XLR 3-pin male connector; Side B (output) features two XLR 3-pin female connectors. The cable is wired for stereo signal path preservation.
The cable is 0.5 m long with a black PVC jacket. The connectors are XLR 3-pin, gold-plated contact points standard for professional audio applications.
Yes — any device with an XLR male output (mixer, preamp, DI box, microphone) can be connected to Side A. The two female outputs on Side B accept standard XLR female inputs on mixers, recorders, or monitors.
PD Connex provides a 24-month manufacturer warranty on the CX142 Y-splitter cable, covering material and manufacturing defects under normal professional use.
