Two conductor.

It has got: a tip, a ring and, finally, a

sleeve. You probably find it in your headphones.

It is acceptable to noise still. But it has

some grade of balance signalcapability.



It has got 3 conectors as the TRS, but thisis expected to use with microphones.

They are balanced cables, so they areoften use when you have long runs ofunbalanced cables (as the TS is) in order to prevend losing signal.



In addition, we have the Direct Box.

It has a ¼ inch cable input, a parallel

output (for TS or TRS cable) and a XLRtype output.

This device allow us change from an

unbalanced signal to a balanced signal.E.g. from a TS cable to a XLR.



Same features as the TRS, but in a smaller size.

They are made by high quality metals, assilver.



They function like a TS cable as theyhave a single conductor and a shield.

You should keep in mind that this type ofcable often assumes the minus 10 signallevel when connected to proffesionalgear.



Obviously, there is a huge variety ofcables (MIDI cables, etc.), but we are

covering only these ones in our course.
