View source for 1/4"

==Overview==
The term "<nowiki>1/4"</nowiki>" is used in audio to describe a 1/4" "phone" plug similar to a headphone plug. There are [[T.R.S.]] three-conductor versions used for [[balanced]] audio connections and [[T.S.]] two-conductor versions used for [[unbalanced]] audio connections.
==History==
The <nowiki>1/4"</nowiki> connector is similar to the T.R.S. connector originally developed for use in telephone switchboards except that it has only two conductors.
==Basics==
The ¼” connector is commonly used for headphone outputs found in HiFi and professional audio equipment. A headphone plug typically has three conductors similar to the T.R.S. connector, but with a different wiring scheme because it carries two channels of [[unbalanced]] audio. 
Please also see [[T.R.S.]] or [[T.S.]] for details on non-headphone applications of ¼” connectors. 
===Typical Wiring Connections===
A ¼” plug used for headphones is wired in the following manner:
* The [[tip]] is connected to the Left channel signal conductor.
*The [[ring]] is connected to the Right channel signal conductor.
*The [[sleeve]] is connected to the [[signal return]] conductor for both channels, which is typically [[ground]]. 
Please also see [[T.R.S.]] or [[T.S.]] for details of non-headphone ¼” connector wiring.
