SWAMP Microphone Channel Saver - XLR Y-Cable
This handy XLR Y-Cable allows two balanced XLR signals to be combined into a single input, or one signal to be split into two. It’s a passive cable, meaning the pins are directly wired together without electronics or transformers, making it a simple and affordable solution for live sound and recording setups.
The SWAMP XLR Y-Cable is a cost-effective channel saver for dynamic mics and line signals. For condenser microphones or any situation requiring phantom power, please choose one of our dedicated microphone combiners for best results.
When to Use:
- ✅ Dynamic microphones – quickly combine two mics into one channel when mixer inputs are limited.
- ✅ Line-level signals – merge outputs from keyboards, DI boxes, or other audio devices for basic summing.
- ✅ Budget-friendly applications – non-critical situations where convenience is more important than pristine audio quality.
When Not to Use:
- ❌ Condenser microphones – not suitable, as these require phantom power and the active output stages will interfere with each other.
- ❌ Critical professional setups – impedance mismatches and phase issues can occur, so an isolating combiner is recommended instead.
Recommended Alternatives for Condenser Mics or Professional Use:
- Alctron SC210N Isolated Microphone and Line Signal Combiner – provides transformer isolation and safe phantom power handling.
- ART SPLITCom Pro Microphone Signal Splitter / Combiner – combined splitter or combiner, designed for both stage and studio use.
- ART SplitMix4 TRS Splitter / Mixer – a versatile passive box for line-level and instrument signals.
Specifications:
- Connectors: 2x XLR female → 1x XLR male (3-pin XLR, REAN brand)
- Wiring: Passive, pins paralleled (no electronics)
- Length: 30cm
By: Fitzy on 18 April 2016Very efficient product! Its a really handy piece of gear to have. It saves you from many things, especially when you want to mic up instruments. Very handy for recording musicians that have limited XLR plugs.

By: robert mitchelson on 11 August 2013These channel savers are a must with limited inputs....can turn a single input into a four channel P.A with a couple of them. Reliable assembly, compact length and inexpensive

By: Stephen Bunn on 12 April 2013This is perfect for plugging two mics into one input channel where mono will do. I want to use this on a concertina where alternate notes come out of opposite sides of the instrument. Unfortunately it is only 18cm long so requires 2 more mic leads. Please make another version of this that's 1.5m long. steve perth

By: David Grant on 26 March 2013Now 2 toms only require one mixer channel. Perfect when I'm low on mixer or multicore capacity.
