Be sure the cables are wired per AES (Audio  
Engineering Society) standards:

Pin 1 – Shield (Ground) 

Pin 2 – Positive (+ or hot) 

Pin 3 – Negative (– or cold)

TRS stands for Tip-Ring-Sleeve, the three connections

available on a stereo 1/4" cable. This allows for a direct
connection to the channel input jacks. Be sure the
cables are wired per AES (Audio Engineering Society)
standards:

Sleeve – Shield (Ground) 

Tip – Positive (+ or hot) 

Ring – Negative (– or cold)

TRS jacks and plugs are used in several different  

applications:

•  Balanced mono circuits. When wired as a  

balanced connector, a 1⁄4" TRS jack or plug  
is connected tip to signal high (hot), ring to
signal low (cold), and sleeve to ground (earth).

•  Stereo Headphones, and rarely, stereo  

microphones and stereo line connections.  
When wired for stereo, a 1⁄4" TRS jack or plug
is connected tip to left, ring to right and sleeve
to ground (earth). VLZ4 mixers do not directly
accept 1-plug-type stereo micro phones. They
must be separated into a left cord and a right
cord, which are plugged into the two mic  
preamps.

You can cook up your own adapter for a stereo
microphone. “Y” two cables out of a female 1⁄4"
TRS jack to two male XLR plugs, one for the
right signal and one for the left.

•  Unbalanced send/return circuits. When wired

as a send/return “Y” connector, a 1⁄4" TRS jack
or plug is connected tip to signal send (output
from mixer), ring to signal return (input back
into mixer), and sleeve to ground (earth).

TS stands for Tip-Sleeve, the two connections  

available on a mono 1⁄4" cable. This allows for a direct
conection to the channel input jacks. Be sure the cables
are wired per AES (Audio Engineering Society)  
standards:

Sleeve – Shield (Ground) 

Tip – Positive (+ or hot)

TS jacks and plugs are used in many different

applications, always unbalanced. The tip is connected  
to the audio signal and the sleeve to ground (earth).
Some examples:

•  Unbalanced microphones
•  Electric guitars and electronic instruments
•  Unbalanced line-level connections

RCA-type plugs (also known as phono plugs)  

and jacks are often used in home stereo and video
equipment and in many other applications. RCA plugs
are unbalanced. Connect the signal to the center post
and the ground (earth) or shield to the surrounding
“basket.” Be sure the cables are wired per AES (Audio
Engineering Society) standards:

Sleeve – Shield (Ground) 

Tip – Positive (+ or hot)
