OT: Stereo to mono adapters

[K2QI]

Does anyone know the part number of a Radio Shack or equivalent 3.5mm stereo
male to 3.5mm mono female adapter that will bridge both L & R channels into
a single mono source?

Hi James,

If you're wanting this adapter to be used with the K3's
speaker jack on the rear of the radio, DON'T do it. (;-)

Hi Ken,

That is not my intent.  What I'm trying to do is combine both L&R audio
channels from the K3's phone output into a mono signal.  That mono signal
will then go into my BHI ANEM which only accepts a mono input.  The ANEM's
output is also mono.  I then want to be able to connect my stereo headphones
into the ANEM and still get audio out of the L&R cans rather than just one.

I can't seem to determine exactly what adapter is required.  Is it a mono
plug to stereo jack, or stereo jack to mono plug?

I have one of these, which is a stereo plug to mono jack adapter, but mixes
both L&R sources into a single channel:

I'm assuming then that I'll need this, which is a mono plug to stereo jack:

I also assume that it's safe to bridge both L&R channels from the front or
rear phone (not SPKR) jacks?

OK, I think I got it now...

Here's what I plan to do:

Stereo to mono adapter -----> ANEM AF DSP ------> mono to stereo adapter
-------> headphones.

The stereo to mono adapter that I already have will combine audio from both
main and sub receivers into a single channel.  The mono to stereo adapter on
the other end of my headphones will then take that mono signal and output
into both cans for a simulated stereo experience.
