Israel provides an introduction to different types of audio cables and connections. Cables transmit electric currents and come in various designs for different uses. Common cable types include 1/4 inch jack, TRS, XLR-3, and RCA, which can be either balanced or unbalanced. Jack and TRS cables are for instruments and headphones, XLR-3 is used for microphones, and RCA is for consumer devices. For best results, use high quality, short cables and balanced connections for long runs to minimize noise.
