TRS Connector
A TRS connector is a type of audio plug commonly used to connect various audio devices. The acronym stands for Tip-Ring-Sleeve, which refers to the three parts of the connector. The tip carries the left audio channel, the ring carries the right audio channel, and the sleeve serves as the ground. This design helps to transmit stereo sound, making it popular in headphones, microphones, and musical instruments.
These connectors come in different sizes, with the most common being 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch. You might find a TRS connector in devices like guitars, mixing consoles, and smartphones. Their reliable connection and ability to reduce noise make them a favorite among audio professionals and enthusiasts alike.
