The wire:
- Wire signal: In the realm of sound, between two devices connected together, are linked by a similar kind of wire rope. But to avoid the phenomenon of noise (interference), this cord is designed specifically than conventional wires. The simplest one is an electric wire coated with soft fibers are surrounded by a layer of armor with soft ropes small area closed all perimeter. This wire is called coaxial signal wire (coaxial signal wire). Wire on the machine is only used in civil as poor resistance to noise and can not connect more than 3 meter (10 feet) without any signal loss. More professional (Professional), we have used wire is wire 1 armor but also surrounded two soft wires (wires balance). This kind of anti-noise feature and can extend up to 300 meters (1000 feet).

- Audio link: Typically, the console sound (sound console) located away from the stage performance. If we have designed several dozen signal wire is too inconvenient. So, we had to use a rope called audio-link with several dozen small signal wires inside, flanked by male and female XLR3 jack. Usually 12 or 16 inputs + 2 output + 4, 20 + 4, 24 + 6 or more. With a length of 100 feet, 200 feet v / v …
- Speaker wire: In theory we can use any kind of electrical wires as long it sometimes large enough cross-section and distinguish two strands together is possible speaker wire then. On the domestic market today, the most common for us is kind of wire pairs used by Japanese manufacturers showed resin inner core wire two silvery white metal called – (cold) and color Council called + (hot).
he connectors (jack, connector): All types of jacks have two male and female come in pairs.
- Phone jack (jack 6mm): also known as ¼ “connector, when welding with signal wire, you remember distinguish ground (cool), cold (minus), hot (plus) in the form attached below. Particularly mono phone jack only two poles only, unless and cool merge.
- RCA jack (jack shower): This type is often used to connect all kinds of music player (CD, Tape) with mixer, I just use the supplied cord is.
RCA Jack – Jack shower
- XLR3 jack (jack canon): the most common Jack in the signal connectors. It is used in most professional audio equipment. Microphone, mixer, effects, amplifier are forced to use it.
- XLR3 connecting jack (jack canon) with signal wiring as follows: In the case of connection types with 3-pole jack, you must pay attention to a balanced and unbalanced game..
- DIN jack (jack 5 feet): This is a male jack, the 5-pole (see picture) is used to connect the audio signal together. In the sound system of civil, a convenient and simple way, it connects input stereo output of band equipment, discs with unique amplifier with only one signal wire.
- Jack speakon: This section refers to the device connector and speaker amplifier. In the old sound system, often connected devices without connectors, ie amplifier and speakers behind with electric poles and we just take the speaker wires connect them in pairs marked + – is finished or phone jack connectors male ones do. However both of these approaches have disadvantages: difficult and unsafe.
Recently manufacturers have used speakon jacks for the following advantages:
- The connector pins are sure, can not slip out.
- A jack can from 1 to 3 way in every cabinet (described from way back).
- Safety and convenience for users.
