Yes but almost nobody calls it a "phone connector". The world wouldn't make sense if people used the wikipedia names for everything in life
Ethan Young
doesn't matter. the DIN has the benefit of more contacts that only fit in one way.
Connor Price
So we should all call CPUs "the computers brain" just because normies call it that?
Cooper Hall
The one that makes electricity flow smoother.
Blake Evans
The computers brain you say.
The fact wikipedia uses phone connector as the default name for an audio jack triggers me.
Jordan Scott
It's phone connector as in (head)phone, not cell(phone). Stop being spergs.
Mason Robinson
The 1/4" plug is typically called a phone plug. What we usually call a headphone plug is minijack if not miniplug.
It was created originally for those old timey telephone switchboards.
Ian Sanders
I'm sure normies doesn't call that a phone connector, they just call it "headphones jack".
Jason Lopez
The only difference is that the din connector will pick up less noise across longer distances and often amps will push a little more power through them. For basic headphone use (unless you're trying to power some fostex planars) they make no difference. Personally I'd say if you have powered monitors with xlr (din) go for that, otherwise stick to standard 3.5mm
Noah Sanchez
there might be a very minimal benefit to being shielded at the connector? So DIN.
Caleb Gonzalez
Yes and no. Unnoticeable at short distances. I doubt op is trying to set up a concert hall.

aux cord
Sebastian Rodriguez
But AUX cord is jack at both ends!
Ayden Long
its still what normies would call it desu
Ryder Allen
isn't that DIN conector for MIDI. that's just data not audio so technically that would be the highest quality I would imagine unless you want analogue.
Ryan Walker
What is wrong with "phone connector"? It is an audio/microphone connector. I am not English myself, nor am a etymologist, but afaik the term phone indicates audio in/out multiplexed. Audio out and microphone in connectors brought together, sure should get called "phone" connector.
>thinking "phone" means just cell-phone, or even worse, smartphone
I think I am too old for this place now, and I'm just 25.

'''''Phone connector''''' otherwise known as TRS (tip, ring, sleeve.)
If you have a really long run, XLR may be better, that's pretty much the pro-audio standard. But TRS should produce the same quality as long as your run is under 100 ft.
Jackson Kelly
It was called a phone connector long before people started saying headphone jack
Camden Cook
Phone connector is too generic (could mean any one of many sizes). It even says so on wikipedia.
Unless you meant to be generic, you should be more specific when talking about connectors.
