Author Topic: TRS Connector Stereo to Mono (Read 1596 times)

spidamang · « **on:** February 18, 2009, 01:28:58 PM »

Background of the Problem:

I have a single channel output that I want to connect to the mike input of my soundcard. I have a spare pair of stereo TRS connectors that I want to use (nakakatamad lumabas at bumili ng mono connector, magastos pa...

)

Statement of teh Problem:

How do I wire the my stereo TRS connector to take only a single channel? Specifically, do I connect the RING to GROUND or do I just leave the RING hanging?

Thanks

ang alam ko sa MIC input ng soundcard, mono lang din siya tapos 5V ang output nung isa. hindi ko maalala kung standard ba siya, bale 'yung 5V pang-supply sa mga MIC.

safer kung sa line in na lang no? but problem dun is stereo naman ang tinatanggap ng line in. eh yung signal ko mula sa lm386 mini amp ng guitara ko. May gusto kasi akong i test na guitar amp simulator hehehe

mahirap din malaman kasi alam ko meron ding stereo MIC input ang ibang soundcard. tester na lang muna.

kung sa line input mo isasaksak, kahit pagshortin mo na ang tip at ring, ok lang un kasi ginagamit ko rin minsan sa vhs-c tranfering to dvd eh karamihan mono ung source, ang ginagawa ko ganun. kung sa mic, leave it hangin ung ring, let the shield and tip do. pero sa tingin ko distorted ang labas nyan kasi mic eh high gain, unless you have realtek audio card.

yeah. tester talaga. or yung usb soundcard na lang na cdrking yung experimentohan ko ehehehe

@woots
it's just a cheap cmi8738 card. gusto ko lang walang distortion ang signal na pumapasok mula sa guitara para ang guitar amp simulator ang mismong magdidistort. (Gusto ko lang kasing malaman what's the big deal with tube amps hehe but that's for another thread. )

ty ulit
