Title: TRS pin assignment
Post by: bagtagsell on October 27, 2005, 06:38:54 PM

I bought female 1/8 trs jacks from radio shack.  Looking at the schematic, which is the tip ring sleeve?

So is
1. Tip
2. Ring
3. Sleeve

From the picture, it looks like you have it right, but I'd use a multimeter to confirm.

That's weird, because to me, it looks exactly opposite. To me it looks like "1" is obviously sleeve/ground.
YMMV
