Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'audio' (sound) combined with 'splitter' (a device that splits) yields a device that splits audio signals. This noun–noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistically transparent pattern, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can infer the full meaning.
Etymology
Audio splitter is a clear image: audio means sound and a splitter is something that divides one wire into two or more. Imagine one sound wire being split like a road into two paths so two people can listen, so it means 'a device that lets more than one headphone or speaker share the same source'.
