Somone told me that the ua-5's trs in's were wired backwards, however I always thought typical wiring for TRS is:
Tip: +
Ring: -
Sleeve: Ground
That is what it says on the ua-5 as well... so am i missing something somewhere
It's opposite as it should be if your building a battery pack. Using the radio shack parts that is. As described in Shapiro's explanation.
if the trs'es were wired incorrectly then nobody could use their standard 1/4" cables.... not likely IMO.
thats exactly what i was thinking, thats why i was so curious
understandable. that someone was probably getting the 1/4" confused with the power supply.
