Connection methods and common cables for professional audio systems

There are many types of connections for professional audio systems, and different system software and machine equipment have different connection methods. But the basic principles are generally the same, and the key is still composed of: sound source+effector+amplifier+speaker.


1. Today's sound sources include various instruments, various sound playback software, and some unique sound generators.


2. An amplifier is composed of various amplification circuits, which can amplify the data signal in front of it to promote subsequent audio speakers.


3. Nowadays, several speakers are usually combined to produce sound, which also forms many types of sound systems.


The above is a very simple professional audio system. Nowadays, many auxiliary machine devices have been added to system software, which we refer to as peripheral devices. Nowadays, we usually match professional sound systems according to the application characteristics and customer requirements, but the sound quality caused by different connection methods of the same machine equipment is different. Therefore, it is required that our professional technicians should grasp more professional knowledge in these aspects. The common electrode connection wires and connectors in professional audio systems rely on specialized tools for connection, transmission, and communication between machinery and equipment in professional audio systems. These are the wires and connectors. It plays a crucial role in all professional audio systems. Nowadays, there are many types of electrode connection wires and connectors used in professional audio system software. Below, our audio system company will provide a brief and detailed introduction to common wires:


1. Technical audio cables: Nowadays, there are two core, three core, four core, five core audio cables, etc. These types of cables are easy to use due to shielding, and can be used to transmit high-quality audio signals; Nowadays, more technical microphones generally use wires above three cores, which have strong anti-interference ability and can perform long-distance transmission. Naturally, this type of wire can also transmit other data signals, such as the DMX512 manipulation data signal for computer head lights.


2. Coaxial cable: Generally used at the video level, it is also some audio cables because these types of cables have weak anti-interference ability and are not critical for transmitting audio signals during design. Therefore, they are not suitable for long-distance audio signal transmission.


3. Centralized cable: It refers to several signal lines wrapped in the same maintenance tube, usually connected to internal applications of the system software to reduce the total number of individual wires. Nowadays, it is also used in areas such as television broadcasting vehicles, underground embedded parts, and other unique aspects. This type of wire is generally produced and processed by professional technical manufacturers, with guaranteed quality.


4. Fiber optic cable: a coaxial cable material commonly used in recording and playback equipment such as CDs or MDs, which transmits digital technology data signals. With the popularization of intelligence, the application of fiber optic cables in professional audio systems will become more and more common in the future


5. MIDI cable: usually a five copper core cable, which transmits relevant MIDI information content. Nowadays, it is mostly used in computer keyboards, effectors and other machine equipment.


6. There are also some unique cables, such as the multi-core network cable used for network connection in computer song ordering systems, which can now be used to transmit audio and video, maintaining the system's automatic playback function.
