Female TRS wall jack for a speaker connection?

Submitted by Fatalmasterpiece on Sat, 03/27/2021 - 01:39

Hi, I'm currently wiring up a couple of panels for a wall in a studio sound booth. The panels are already loaded with female XLR and female horizontal TRS jacks. I would like to designate one of the 1/4" TRS jacks for an amplifier to speaker cabinet connection.

Audio card INPUTS : Which is better? 1/4" TRS and TS or SPDIF (coax digital)

Submitted by jp008 on Mon, 09/26/2016 - 23:26

Which do you think is better for audio card INPUTS (not outputs):

1/4" TRS and TS
or
SPDIF (coax digital)

1. The balanced input jack on the audio card is rated at being 104 to around 107 dBA SNR.

2. We all know the SPDIF input is basically digital 1's and 0's.

XLR to TRS cable and phantom power

Submitted by Bono on Mon, 09/09/2013 - 06:33

Hi i found a good deal on a pair of XLR female - TRS cables. I need the for my vocal and acoustic condenser mics . Some people say it doesn't matter if it is XLR or TRS they are both the same but i have read TRS jacks don't support phantom power. So should i stay away from XLR - TRS cables for my condenser mics?

Submitted by JoshHPMusic on Wed, 08/14/2013 - 17:02

Hi, so I've got a Line6 Pod Studio UX2 (audio interface), and I'm getting a pair of Yamaha HS50M Studio Monitors. Can somebody look the two up and try to figure out what cables I need to hook the two up? Is it two TRS cables? Balanced? Unbalanced?

Thanks in advance!
-Josh

P.S.
What do you think about the HS50M Monitors?

Tascam MS-16 vs. TRS 8

Submitted by Steve@Russo on Fri, 12/09/2011 - 05:58

I was wondering what I can expect sound wise between the 2, the TRS is in better shape, the MS-16 comes with the remote and meters W/ no dbx stuff. They are both going to cost about 500 when said and done. I just plan on using 8 tracks anyways but I would not might the ability to track a full band to tape

Are TRS cables and "Speaker Cables" the same?

Submitted by RockNRoll on Tue, 08/16/2011 - 06:45

Hello all,

I just wanted to ask if TRS cables are the exactly the same as "Speaker Cables?" Speaker cables that you would normally use to hook your studio monitors to your audio interface.

Also, are these the same cables that should be used between a guitar amp head and the cabinet?

Thanks for the advice!

TRS Balanced and TRS Stereo Signal - Are They Wired The Same?

Submitted by aj113 on Thu, 03/31/2011 - 14:06

Hi all - I know the difference between a monaural TRS cable that is used for hum-cancelling balanced line, and a stereo TRS cable that carries two separate L and R signals - my question is, are the cables and connectors themselves one and the same thing?
