This video covers what I feel are the most commonly found cables and connectors in the pro audio industry as of late 2015:
XLR aka Cannon, XLR combo
Phone, aka TS, TRS, 1/4", 6.35mm, guitar, jack
Minijack aka miniTRS, 1/8", 3.5mm
Phono aka RCA, cinch
Minijack to RCA & Minijack to 1/4" adapter cables
Neutrik Speakon (4 and 8 pole) & speakon couplers
XLR to TRS adapters
XLR gender change adapters
XLR splitter cables
Video also covers the male/female naming convention used in Pro Audio and provides some tips and advice on the use of the various types of connectors.
This is a presentation that I put together for a group of university students in Singapore. This particular class contained 22 students, which meant that they had difficulty seeing the actual connectors from their seats in the classroom - I thus put together this PowerPoint to provide a visual focus, supplementing it with actual samples passed around.
Voice over recorded with a Shure SM86.
Here's the link to my older video on how to connect the audio from laptops, smartphones etc to the PA system, which also contains some discussion on minijack connectors: [ Ссылка ]
