I have a L+R XLR outputs on my mixer, and XLR inputs 1+2 on my subwoofer. do I use this splitter to hook up to just input 1? will my JBL 500watt Sub turn the mono input from this into stereo output to my mains?

This is a mono hook up to send one mono source signal to two separate mono inputs like the XLR L or R input on two different speakers. You would need a second patch cable to handle the other channel. It does not combine signals to make a stereo signal. It is mono in, mono out, either way the signal is flowing.

I'm not a fan of either of these answers, because they're ignoring the possibility of SPLITTING the stereo sound into separate mono channels, that can be recombined by the mixer. This means you can effectively mix two stereo inputs, by splitting them into four mono channels.

You talkin bout L and R channel in a single output the answer is noActually for a single channel you can split it up plus it's great to split up ur subs output, microphones etc .. I use it to split my subs

I run my Peavey 14 channel mixer into a Behringer Equalizer that has a subwoofer output, then it's a XLR out to the first subwoofer input, and then I run a crossover XLR to hook up the second Subwoofer. Works very well.

Mono. Those left and right inputs are line-level inputs for use if you do not have a subwoofer RCA cable output on your receiver. They are simply used to get the audio signal to the sub amp; used in place of a RCA connection.

run it through a splitter, OR get an external mixer with multiple outs. thx!

Short answer, yes. But you won't be able to split the channels (L/R) on your interface. As you are going into a mono input this shouldn't be an issue.

It really doesn't matter, both will work. However the other answer does make a point. Getting a 3.5mm to dual 1/4 cable is more direct (assuming that you are splitting the signal out to 2 speakers) because XLR is always balanced and 1/4 can be balanced or unbalanced, which is what happens when a stereo signal is ran on a single cable. So in short you are making an unbalanced signal doing this, which XLR does not support BUT 1/4 does (assuming that you are using a splitter cable to 2 speakers)

If your audio interface has only a single RCA line out for sub pre-amp, use the provided RCA splitter to split the single line to a "right/left".

There is only 1 XLR input, The other inputs would require a mic pre-amp unless your mics can generate a line level signal (some do)

Yes each split output is "stereo" I have been using my splitter for over 2 years.

Hi Brendan, I googled it so looks like this will work with your mixer. The sub has XLR and TRS......both of which your mixer seems to support

The 1/4 output jack on my amp delivers sound to both L & R speakers on my stereo headphones. You'll need to investigate why this does not work for you.

It would give the sum of the two channels L and R into the interface port. The stereo image coming out of the mixer from the L and R port into the Y patch cable is stereo up till that point. When it passes through the Y cable, it becomes a summed signal or mono.

Any subwoofer occupies a single "channel" from the receiver - one that combines the low bass outputs from right and left channels. Thus, one standard cable is usually sufficient. Do check the rear panel of your receiver/home entertainment power unit. It should have one output receptable labeled "subwoofer" or something similar. That is where the plug from the speaker goes. Since bass frequencies are not localized by our ears, there is no need for 2 subwoofers or separate cables to connect them. If the subwoofer has separate input jacks for the right and left channels (labeled and usually color coded) - which is very unlikely - you would need two such cables, plugged into the auxiliary R and L low level outputs from your receiver's pre-amp outputs (labeled)!

If you have a mixer, it should have a L and R. Otherwise you will need a splitter

Absolutely yes! I did the same thing with my output of my theater receiver and the bass sounds much better running 2 subs. This particular splitter is great quality and very durable.
