A 3.5 mm phone connector A 3.5 mm 4-conductor TRRS phone connector A 3.5 mm 5-conductor TRRRS phone connector. In the most common arrangement, consistent with the original intention of the design, the male plug is connected to a cable, and the female socket is mounted in a piece of equipment.
Photo: 2.5 mm mono (TS), 3.5 mm mono and stereo (TRS), and 1 ⁄ 4 inch (6.4 mm) stereo (TRS) phone connectors The most common microphone connector in consumer use is the venerable phone connector, in 1 ⁄ 4 inch (6.4 mm), 3.5 mm, and 2.5 mm sizes, and in both mono and stereo configurations.
† Although the mic input is usually mono, the input is still a TRS phone socket. Many mono 'computer' mics are fitted with TRS plugs. The tip is for the MIC and the ring is for power (to power an electret-condenser style MIC). There are exceptions to the above: Hosa cables use grey and orange for left and right analogue channels.
For similar reasons, "wye"-cables (or "Y-splitters") should not be used to combine two line out signals into a single line in. Each line output would be driving the other line output as well as the intended input, again resulting in a much heavier load than designed for. This will result in signal loss and possibly even damage.
Star-quad cable intended for use with a single two-wire circuit or two two-wire circuits. It is often used with microphone signals in professional audio. Star-quad cable cross-section Star-quad exploded view showing the geometric centers of the dual-conductors used for each leg of the balanced line.
A Shure FP24 preamp's mono XLR line outputs connected to an Edirol R-09 recorder's 3.5mm stereo jack line input, using a Y-cable. This is an example of consolidating connectors, as described below. A Y-cable, Y cable, or splitter cable is a cable with three ends: one common end and two other ends. The Y-cable can resemble the Latin letter "Y".
XLR3 cable connectors female (left) and male. The XLR connector is a type of electrical connector primarily used in professional audio, video, and stage lighting equipment. XLR connectors are cylindrical, with three to seven connector pins, and are often employed for analog balanced audio interconnections, AES3 digital audio, portable intercom, DMX512 lighting control, and for low-voltage ...
Typical live use of a multicore (thick cable on stage) Multicores usually create a link between the stage and sound desk, or live room and control room.When used in sound reinforcement, the multicore cable runs from the stage box or microphone splitter to the front-of-house sound desk, where it connects to a mixing console.
