How to choose the right speaker wire/cable?

How to choose the right speaker wire/cable? The purpose of Speaker cable is the wire used for the electrical connections between amplifier sources and loundspeakers system.The transfer is accomplished through the low-voltage electrical current conducted through the wires.It has three key electrical properties: resistance, capacitance and inductance. Resistance is by far the most important [...]

What is the S-video and PS/2 Interface？

What is the S-video and PS/2 port? S-video (short for Super-video) is an older type of video signal that’s transmitted in varying electrical signals over wires to represent the original video. Newer video cables like HDMI transmit digital video signals in the form of numbers representing the original video signal. The benefit of [...]

What is 5 pin DIN connector?

A DIN connector is an electrical connector that was originally standardized in the early 1970s by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), the German national standards organization. A DIN connector encompasses several types of cables that plug into an interface to connect devices. It has an architecture that is composed of multiple pins that [...]

What is the advantage of low-capacitance cable?

The propaudio ultra low capacitance cable lets you hear all the frequencies being produced by your guitar. High cable capacitance kills the high frequencies from your pickups, resulting in a muddy sound and the greater the signal loss. With cables that are paired, or coaxial, the two conductors with insulation or conductor and shielding [...]

What is Line Level?

A Line level is in the region of 0 dBV (1.0 volt), Line level signals have a much higher voltage output than mic or instrument level, usually somewhere around 750 millivolts.It is about 1,000 times as strong as a mic-level signal, so the two do not ordinarily use the same input. This signal travels [...]
