Looking for a specific cable

[Kaido]

I have two lav mics (with male mono minijack connectors) that I need to connect to a digital recorder (which has a female minijack input). The idea is to have a left mono mic & right mono mic going into a stereo adapter for L&R. Therefore, I'm looking for a cable with:

1. One Male Stereo Minijack connector
2. Two Female Mono Minijack connectors

Since it's for a portable type of setup, I'd like to keep it compact. So far I've only found a Male Stereo Minijack to Dual Mono Phono Jacks, which would require the use of a Phono to Minijack adapter. That starts getting a little clunky. I could also do a headphone splitter coupled with a pair of mono minijack adapters.

Any suggestions or am I stick with a DIY project?

you would need 1/4" to 3.5mm adapters. Personally, I've done this cable before myself and it's pretty darn easy. I would go DIY unless the price is equivalent.

That's not what the OP asked for.

Whoops. Didn't notice the mono specification. My mistake

Yeah I figured I'd have to go with something like that. It's not the most elegant solution, but it will work. I'll have to rig up a cable relief system so it doesn't pop out of the flush-mounted minijack on the recorder. Ah well. You'd think they'd have something like this, haha.

Does Maplin ship to the US? Never used them before. World of Cables looks bad, they have the right cable, but bad Reseller Ratings and when I tried to check out it gave me a certificate error.

I have no idea. Those links are straight off Google.

Found one randomly at Radio Shack in the mall. It's a plug adapter, not a cable adapter. P/N 274-375. Cost $4.99. Link:

"1/8" Dual Mono Jack to 1/8" Stereo Plug Y-Adapter"
