An introduction of the common audio cables and its application

The audio cable is generally used for Line In and Line Out, which passes through a small current and small power signal, and the impedance is high and easy to be interfered with, so it is generally a shielded cable, but the cable is generally thin. There are many types of audio cable, according to the number of cores, there are single core, double core and multi-core wire; According to the thickness of the wire diameter, there are 0.1, 0.15, 0.3 square mm; According to the density of the shielding layer, there are 96 networks, 112 networks, 128 networks, etc., according to the shielding layer weaving mode, there are net types and wrapping types, etc. Below are common audio cable type for your reference.

1. XLR audio cable (Canon cable)

XLR audio cables, also known as Canon cables, transmit balanced audio signals and are commonly used to connect devices such as hand-held microphones and surround sound for stage use, microphones, sound cards, mixers and processors. The XLR connector is the most widely used type of professional audio system, which effectively reduces interference and is not easy to pull off. The connector specifies the signal flow to prevent errors in the connection, and is a common choice for recording studios and live shows.

2. RCA audio cable (Lotus cable)

RCA audio cable because the head is more like lotus, it is also called lotus cable, which is mostly used to connect the song machine, stereo, DVD, TV, mixing console and other equipment. Its interface is divided into left and right channels, red represents the right channel, white represents the left channel, next to the L and R identifier, usually next to the RCA interface there is AUDIO INPUT identifier, representing the AUDIO input, such as AUDIO OUTPUT represents the audio output. If the device has three RCA interfaces, red, white and yellow, it means that the device also supports video input and output. Easy to understand, is the perfect choice for home theater.

3. 3.5mm audio cable (small 3-core cable)

The 3.5mm (AUX) audio cable is one of the most common audio cables in life, also known as stereo audio cables. Its interface size is suitable for connecting most everyday audio devices such as mobile phones, headsets, speakers, laptops, etc. Part of the headphone cable is a four-core connector, and one more core is to transmit MIC audio.

4. 6.35mm audio cable

6.35mm audio cable, mainly used in stage audio, press conference, KTV, recording studio, home theater, video audio system and other environments; Suitable for audio, power amplifier, mixing table. 6.35 The joint can be divided into: TRS and TS. Generally used to connect electric guitars, mixers and other equipment. The difference between the two is that the three core can be used as a balanced connection or a dual channel connection.

5. Optical audio cable

Optical audio cable uses optical fiber to transmit digital signals, generally identified as "optical" or "Toslink", transmission speed is extremely fast and high fidelity sound quality, suitable for connecting digital audio equipment, sound systems, etc. Its physical interface is divided into two types, one is a standard square head, and the other is a round head that looks similar to the 3.5mm TRS connector that is common on portable devices.

6. Coaxial audio cable

The coaxial interface is divided into RCA coaxial interface and BNC coaxial interface. The appearance of the former is no different from that of the analog RCA interface, and the latter is somewhat similar to the signal interface we commonly see on televisions, and it has been added to the locking design. The interface is identified as "Coaxial" and also transmits a digital signal.

7. Banana head speaker cable

The speaker cable plug is called banana head, its wiring mode is divided into screw type and plug type, there are SPEAKERS near the interface, often used in stereo, power amplifier and other equipment above, is one of the common wire used to form a home theater. The banana head can be connected to the engineering audio cable, and can also enjoy high fidelity sound quality.

8. Ohmic audio cable

The ohmic head is a connector that connects the speaker and is quickly plugged. Because the ohmic head connection method is relatively simple, and relatively stable, not easy to loosen and other important characteristics, ohmic head is commonly used in speaker equipment.
