How do you connect two aux cords together?
Just buy the 3.5 male (aux) ends and grab some wire. Speaker wire usually has 2 insulated wires bonded together, so you’ll need a third for the ground. Just grab a spare wire from somewhere to use as the third. Connect all the wire to the aux ends, solder, shrink tube it, braid it, then do the same to the other end.
Can you combine 2 audio inputs?
Yes you can combine 2 audio sources into one. Usually that’s done in a mixer, but if you really only want to add 2 audio lines together and don’t care too much about audio quality, a Y cable like this should be lightweight enough to work with your setup.
Can you split aux input?
Yes, you can split an source like a smartphone/ipod output between 2 (and more) inputs using a “y” splitter. They sell them in a common 3.5mm three conductor prong to two similar jacks.
What is auxiliary cable?
Charging and AUX cables let you connect your mobile phone to any external device in order to listen to music or just play music. This cable can be used with mobile phones, portable MP3 players, portable navigation devices, remote mount DVD players, or other electronic devices.
Do you need an AUX splitter?
Yes you need a splitter. The headset jack combines the mic, left/right, and ground into a single plug. If you plug it into a left/right headphone jack it’ll work since those parts of the plug line up with a regular stereo plug.
Do I need a mixer to merge two audio signals?
Answer Wiki. If you mean merging two audio signals into one, what you need is a mixer or a passive mixer. If you used jus a ‘y’ cable, it will cause all sort of sound artifacts; and with bad luck you could break something.
Why can’t I use a Y cable for my mixer?
If you used jus a ‘y’ cable, it will cause all sort of sound artifacts; and with bad luck you could break something. You can do a passive mixer yourself with just two equal resistors, isolating each input from the mixer’s output. All the grounds go together includinng the one of the output. I advise adding a potentiometer to adjust the mix.
How do I connect the AUX Out to the stereo output?
The aux out will usually be a stereo output. The aux output is unbalanced. To connect your aux output to twin mono 6.35mm inputs on an interface you will need a Y-Cable (aka breakout cable) like the Hosa CMP-159 below. This takes the stereo signal picked up through the 3.5mm plug and splits it into left and right dual mono 1/4″ TS.
Can you connect two audio outputs to each other?
Here’s the rule: outputs are low impedance, and must only be connected to high impedance inputs. You should never tie two audio outputs directly together! If you do, each output tries to back-feed into the other, and drive the very low impedance of the other output, forcing both outputs into current-limit.
