Introduction to common audio cables
Commonly Used Connecting Cables and Connectors in Audio Systems
Audio system equipment and equipment to reach between the contact transmission, communication, etc.,
must rely on its connection tool, which is the wire and connector. It occupies a very important role in the
whole audio system, now the professional audio system used in the connection line and connector types
more, the following we put the common wire and connector types for a brief introduction:
A variety of wire
1、 Professional audio cable
Now the audio line has two-core, three-core, four-core, five-core, etc., this line due to good shielding effect,
can be used to transmit high-quality audio signals. Now more professional microphone generally use more
than three-core wire, this wire anti-interference ability, can do long-distance transmission. Of course, this wire
can also transmit other signals, such as the transmission of computer lights DMX512 control signal.
2、 Coaxial cable
Generally used in video, there are also some audio lines, due to the poor anti-jamming ability of this wire,
coupled with the design is not primarily used to transmit audio signals, so it is not suitable for long-distance
audio signal transmission.
3、 Centralized cable
That is, a number of signal lines wrapped in the same protective tube, is generally connected to the internal
use of the system to reduce the number of independent wires. Now also used in such as TV trucks,
underground buried and other special aspects. This kind of line is generally a professional manufacturer
processing good, quality is more guaranteed.
4. Optical Fiber
Many CD or MD and other recording and playback equipment commonly used in the transmission line, it is
the transmission of digital signals. With the popularity of digital, the future use of optical fiber in the audio
system will be more and more.
5. MIDI Cable
Usually a five-core cable that transmits information about MIDI, and is now mostly used in keyboards, effects,
and other devices.
6, there are some special wires
For example, the original computer song system used to connect the network of multi-core network cable can
now also be used to transmit audio and video, to achieve the computer automatic on-demand function.
