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 [...]

What is Mic level?

Some mixers and active speaker have switches on the rear panel for setting each input jack or output jack for mic level (XLR) or line level (1/4"). These terms refer to the signal level or intensity. Microphone level is in the region of -60 dBV (0.001 volt) to -40 dBV (0.010 volt). (dBu and [...]

What are twisted pair cables?

What are twisted pair cables? The twisted pair cable consists of a pair of insulated wires twisted together. It is a cable type used in telecommunication,audio,DMX for very long time. Cable twisting helps to reduce noise pickup from outside sources and crosstalk on multi-pair cables. Twisted pair cable is good for transferring balanced differential [...]

What is the purpose of unbalanced to 3.5mm stereo Cable?

These cables are designed to enable a normal microphone that has a 3-pin XLR output and unbalanced (mono) signal, to be connected to devices that have a stereo (Left and Right channel) input. The mono signal from the mic, is sent to both the Left and Right channels on the stereo input. Using a [...]

The Various Types of Cable Shielding

The basic function of an audio cable is to transport an audio signal from one point to another. However, another component of what we expect of our cables that requires them to keep any noise from entering that original audio signal. And when determining the best type of cable that will fit your specific [...]
