Monoprice Metal 6.35mm (1/4 Inch) Mono Plug to 3.5mm Stereo Jack Adaptor - Gold Plated

Good items to have as an accessory in you bag...

I use this adapter to connect modern stereo headphones to my old HW-101 radio. Now I get perfect sound into BOTH ears!

Works well

Monoprice Metal 6.35mm (1/4 Inch) Mono Plug to 3.5mm Stereo Jack Adaptor - Gold PlatedThis is the adapter that people who are deaf in one ear need for their wired headphones/earbuds. First take: excellent for intended use.Many people are deaf in one ear and are unable to appreciate stereo. In headphones it means that anything recorded in stereo can be listened to over one channel or the other, but not both channels simultaneously. In order to hear the complete sound you need to combine both channels and send the result to both ears (or a single ear plug for the hearing ear). This adapter does that.TL;DRLook at the bands: one band for mono, two for stereo. Stereo plug maintains channel separation; mono plug combines both channels together.

Need a stereo to mono 1/4" (6.35mm) adapter to use your iPad, iPhone, or other small device's 3.5mm port to play some music over a PA system? Then look no further. This amazing piece of gear (or kit, if you're from somewhere East of the Atlantic) makes it possible to hear BOTH channels of music (that's right and left to you and me) through a mono-based PA system.Will this adapter solve the world's problems? No.Will this adapter make that hot girl (or guy) go home with you? Undetermined.Will it allow you to play music from a stereo source through a mono PA? Yes.My recommendation: solid piece of equipment that allows you to play stereo music on a mono PA system (although playback will not be in stereo; it will be mono through all speakers of the PA).

This 1/4 adapter jack is not constructed well and comes apart when trying to pull it out of a 1/4 port. Give it a pass it'ssuper annoying.

Okay, in this day and age with your recording software on your computer, I run my digital multi-effects straight into my machine. Using 3.5 mm stereo cables, all is good. But to run stomp boxes into your studio You are going to need one of these to go from the mono out stompbox pedalboard to the 3.5 mm Cable that is your line into the computer. (Digitech pedals have cabinet modeling. So they sound the best) Use two of them if you have stereo outputs. Without these, trying to run straight into your machine you only get the left channel. I try to litter the house with these, and now with the awesome price at Amazon. I can do exactly that!

After multiple false starts, I finally found an adapter that lets me plug in my electric ukulele to my speakers. The key is that my ukulele does not have a ring channel and so before I was only getting output from the left channel when I used a stereo 1/4 to 1/8 adapter. This mono 1/4 to stereo 1/8 adapter produces sound from my ukulele through both speaker channels.
