Here are a few videos that will help you understand some basic functions of the cables that we’ll be using to connect audio/video components throughout the studios.
You’ll want to learn these cables and how to take care of them, but don’t worry about some of the more detailed information. The most important bit of detail you can learn is whether a cable is balanced or not (2.3).
- 2.1 Students will be able to describe the appropriate use of each cable type (XLR, TRS, TS, RCA, Speakon) in various live and recorded environments.
- 2.2 Students will be able to recognize all common connector types (XLR, TRS, TS, RCA, Speakon) while connecting to audio equipment.
- 2.3 Students will be able to illustrate the difference between balanced and unbalanced signal using a diagram.
- 8.3 Students will be able to describe at least 3 reasons to use over-under cable wrapping using examples where appropriate.
- 8.4 wrap a 100-foot cable using over-under technique in 90-seconds or less
- 8.5 Students will be able to choose appropriate cables for at least 3 different audio/video scenarios.
