IA76 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Hi Can you suggest any websites which explain about whether mono or stereo jacks should be used and what you should use when you have a 3.5mm jack on one end and a 6.35mm on the other or XLR on on end and a jack on the other etc. I've been practicing with a soldering iron, making up my own cables but I'm unsure of when mono and stereo jacks should be used as I can make up a cable in one format and get buzzing in the audio but by swapping the connector there is no buzzing?

revbobuk Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Take a look at the Soundcraft Guides here for some basic information - and keep it up; it's a good skill to master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IA76 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Thanks. It's starting to make more sense now...balanced and unbalanced connections! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbotsmike Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 It does get confusing very quickly, as an amateur myself, I know all too well. Fortunately, I like that sort of thing, so pick it up fairly quickly! Just watch out with Jacks and XLR's, especially if they are using them as loudspeaker connections, single send/return plugs, headphones, and all manner of other uses! Don't really want to be connecting the output of a Power amp to the input of a mixer, if/when you grab the wrong cable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
