5 out of 5 stars A simple adapter that does its job   August 25, 2008
This is a very simple adapter that takes a pair of male left / right RCA cables and splits them into 3 center / sub, left/right, and rear left/rear right 1/8 outputs. The adapter does not require an external power supply.

The adapter does its job and seems well constructed. I haven't had any problems.

Please note that this includes an adapter only; no RCA or 1/8 cables are included.

Some Logitech speakers systems include this product so if you're ordering this with a speaker system, you should check to see if this purchase is necessary.

The purpose of this is to take something that's designed to talk to a stereo system via RCA and convert it into an input source for low end 5.1 PC speakers. For example, I have my Xbox 360 taking its RCA output, putting it through this device and outputting to a Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker System.

The 5.1 is simulated with this system but it's better than not using your rear speakers at all. If this is a problem, you should probably be thinking about optical connections and a THX certified speaker system.



5 out of 5 stars Just what I needed   August 21, 2008
I bought this adapter to listen to Playstation 3 audio directly though a pair of headphones. Granted, that isn't what it was designed for, but it works great for this purpose. You get full stereo audio from the green plug and the volume level is good. Exactly what I needed, and for $5, you can't expect more.


5 out of 5 stars Did exactly what it said it would   August 8, 2008
Don't listen to the people who cry about "this won't give you true surround sound". Yeah it won't, but I've now got sound blasting out of all 5 speakers and that's good enough for me when I'm rockin on Guitar Hero! A great tool for any game console.

K so I bought the Logitech x-530 5.1 speakers with full intent of having awesome surround sound on my xbox 360...problem: this adapter that came with the speakers DOES NOT give you full surround sound. If you already have it, you can know this by running a game's surround sound test like the Halo 3 one, when the grunt says "speaker behind you over there" it is not solely coming from the back speakers, it still comes from the front speakers, and the center speaker does not get it's dedicated Dialog channel. :( It made me sad.


5 out of 5 stars better than several adapters   August 5, 2008
I use this adapter to get sound through headphones when using my PlayStation 3. It works extremely well and luckily the volume comes out perfectly so I don't even need to adjust in-game settings. I also plug 2.0 PC speakers into this adapter at the same time. I can even get sound out of both the speakers and the headphones at the same time but they output lesser volumes. Overall, this product is great for the price because buying an RCA-3.5 mm adapter and a stereo coupler would come out to twice the price, twice the adapters, and only on stereo jack.

As far as surround sound, this obviously isn't going to be the most amazing product ever seeing as how it's just dual channel sound but if you use it like I do, you will be extremely satisfied.
