Daddy Dee Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Getting ready to do a little soldering and realized I don't know which contact is + and which is -. What is the industry standard? These are mono plugs/jacks. Which is the tip and which is the barrel? I've done some googling, but haven't located the right info. Thanks in advance for any help.

seti Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 These sites have a couple diagrams and explanations. Perhaps one of the roadie pros will confirm. http://gaussmarkov.net/wordpress/parts/connectors/14-phone-jacks-and-plugs/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS_connector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be absolutely sure, you can use an Ohm meter and see which part of the wiring end goes to what part of the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkytype Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hey Dee, Here's a great link that'll show you perzactly how to wire audio connectors. See pages 20-27. As for your setup, I assume you are running unbalanced audio connections. Balanced will require a three conductor 1/4" plug aka TRS or stereo plug. http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/pdf/pa/english/mixers/PM1000E_1.pdf Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
