Dual Mono-Stereo Adapter

Device Details

Overview 

The Dual Mono-Stereo Adapter provides a way to connect two assistive switches with standard 3.5 mm mono plugs to a single 3.5 mm stereo input on a compatible assistive technology device. This device is functionally equivalent to a 3.5 mm TRS to Dual 3.5 mm TSF Stereo Breakout Cable (Amazon Link, ~$16).

Usage 

To use the Dual Mono-Stereo Adapter, connect the two assistive switches to the mono inputs labelled L (left) and R (right). Then use a stereo male-to-male audio cable to connect the adapter to the AT device’s 3.5 mm stereo input.

The Dual Mono-Stereo Adapter can also be used with the LipSync Switch Input Module.
