Not sure if this is avaliable or not?
I'm looking for a vendor that would sell this:

3 pin, XLR Y cable:
2 female XLRs (right angle/90 degrees) into a straight male XLR
Balanced, 1ft in length.

Any ideas?
 
You could make it.

But of a larger concern is what are you planning to do with the cable. Wye cables are fine for splitting a signal...but not recommended for combining a signal. More here:

When do you need them? Had I read this post earlier today I could have given you an answer and price. Today I purchased a "Y" connector 1/4" Balanced to two RCAs for under $3.00

I do however make my own XLR Cables and the place where I went does have right angle male and female XLR connectors.

As Rick suggested, Ben makes those and sells them.

I have mentioned that on here many times. Hopefully that is not want he wants to do. Lets hear his answer!
You would be surprised how many people are doing just that with a "Y" connector cable.:trirolleyes:
 
These are the best Connectors they are called Neutrik NC3FRC Right Angle Female XLR Connector 3 pole. Female, compact right angle version. 7 x 45 degrees indexing.
You can angle them in seven different positions.

Soldering Guide

If you are building your own cables you need to know how to solder. A drop of melted solder wire on a joint is NOT the way to solder. It will eventually break loose and the wires inside may touch. This can short circuit your equipment and cause damage. Same applies to too much bare wire showing.
Here is a good guide.

I'm probably gonna get barked at for this, but I was planning on using the Y cable (L&R female XLR out) from my mixer's zone output to use for recording or running to a remote speaker. Funny thing is, I have done this type of thing for years (with no problems) and know many other DJs who do it too.

I guess it's not good?
