Audio cable, referred to as audio cable; A wire used to transmit electroacoustic signals or data. Broadly speaking, there are two categories: electrical signals and optical signals. Generally speaking, audio lines are the most often used in electronic equipment in our lives, especially in home appliances, the large row of terminal connection lines behind makes people indistinguishable, it can be said that it is dazzling, in the face of so many terminal wires, how should we distinguish? And what is the function of the audio cable? Let me tell you:
RCA (commonly known as lotus head audio cable) unbalanced, analog digital.
XLR (commonly known as cannon head audio cable) balanced/unbalanced, analog digital
AES/EBUTRS JACKS (commonly known as junior) equilibrium/unbalanced, simulation
TS JACKS (commonly known as sophomores) unbalanced, analog
BANABA PLUG (banana plug) rear output speaker cable, analog
SPEAKON (speaker plug) rear output speaker cable, analog
PHONIX (phoenix plug) engineering installation use, balanced unbalanced by the manufacturer definition, mostly used in the pre-stage in the professional market also uses network cable and HD coaxial cable as digital transmission use
RJ45 (Crystal Head) Digital, physical formats vary, depending on the manufacturer
BNC (Q9) DIGITAL, TRANSMITTING WORDCLOCK AND MADI SIGNALS Audio optical signal cables are divided into two categories: civil and professional. Most of the civil optical signal cables are made of plastic optical fibers, the connector type is TOSLINK or 3.5MM circular connector, and the signal format has S/PDIF in civil use.
In professional audio formats there is ADAT format. If it is used as a professional audio intermediary with TV station audio, the format of communication optical cable is mostly used. Common singlemode and multimode fibers, as well as commercial communication specifications of connectors.
