I have gotten at lesat 10 times the value of my purchase from my Mono Plug. Mono Plug has completely surpassed my expectations.
Can I use a 1/8 inch Mono Jack to 1/4 inch Stereo Plug Headphone Adapter for this situation?
In my piano class, we are required to bring in earbuds or headphones with us to practice on digital keyboards. The keyboards and digital pianos accept 1/4" (inch) plugs.http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062465# Mono Plug shows what I want to use. I have Apple Earbuds and another set of earbuds that came with my computer. Both earbuds have 1/8" plugs. Can I use the product at the above mentioned website to plug in the 1/8" earbuds in the jack on the 1/8 inch Mono Jack to 1/4 inch Stereo Plug Headphone Adapter and connect the 1/4" end into the digital piano's headphones port?Is it compatible?What is a mono jack, anyway? Is it backwards compatible with headphone jacks?

if the female plug on the camcorder is mono it won’t make a difference, you won’t be able to record true stereo. however, in playback you should be able to split mono to stereo, it just won’t be true stereo. i’m pretty sure the only way you can record true stereo is with 2 microphones. but if you want to check you could always try radio shack.
I have never seen a guitar plug (male) that is chassis mounted. You could try mounting a normal plug that goes onto the end of a wire with small “U” brackets or ty wraps.Why would you want this anyway? Chassis mount guitar connectors are always female for a reason. A male chassis mount would stick out and would easily get bent. That is why guitar cords are male to male.
You can get a converter that is a stereo plug on the male end that sticks into your MP3 player, and then has the two signals connected together inside it to put both channels to both ears. you should be able to get something like this at Radioshack, or any electronics place for 5 bucks or so. Then you can use it and your headphones with any audio device.
this will work. though you will probably only get sound out of one speaker. the default is usually the left. some inputs are normalized so that a mono signal will be carried to both the left and right channel. you can’t do any damage by just plugging in mono jacks. so give it a try and see what happens.
There is a “Y” adapter available from Radio Shack. But if you want to splice them yourself, just make sure the shielded wires (common) are soldered together and then the 2 remaining wires are soldered together. Then just solder those to and old RCA cord the same way, making your own homemade “Y” adapter. Wrap the soldered points individually with electrical tape so they never touch. But a line/mic mixer (again from Radio Shack) with mono capability does the best job with the least amount of signal loss.Good luck!
You need a 2 conductor jack with a third connection which is normally contacted to the tip of the jack when no plug is inserted. This third tab should go to the internal speaker, the main(tip) to the output of the radio. Hope this helps.

some Radios only broadcast in Mono so it would probably be a problem with the radio tuner in the device or maybe your headphones are broken.
Absolute polarity doesn’t matter for speakers; as long as you make the polarity of the two speakers the same, you’re fine. By convention, though, you should connect the “sleeve” side of the cable to the Speakon’s -1 contact and the “tip” side of the cable to the Speakon’s +1 contact. “Sleeve” and “tip” are terms associated with phone plugs; in a mono phone plug (called TS for Tip-Sleeve) “tip” should be obvious (it’s the pointy tip at the end) and “sleeve” is everything else. If you can unscrew the barrel of the phone plug you’ll find the “tip” contact is the one that goes to the center of the assembly, and is quite small, and the “sleeve” contact is the one on the outside, and is quite obviously part of the plug body and usually incorporates the cable clamp as well. If you can’t unscrew the barrel of the phone plug then just cut it off and use an ohmmeter (a DMM set on ohms range, or continuity check if it has that) to establish continuity with the plug contacts at the other end. Just fyi, in a stereo or balanced phone plug with three contacts, the third contact is called a “ring”. Working from the tip back to the handle, you have tip, then ring, then sleeve, hence “TRS” plug. If you look closely at the back of such a plug with the barrel unscrewed you’ll see that the “tip” contact still goes to the center of the assembly, “Sleeve” looks just like the sleeve contact in the TS plug, and the “ring” is in between.Edit: I don’t know of a convention using clear and blue sleeves for speaker cables/Speakon connectors. In any case, electrons don’t care about the insulator color, so really, you can use them however you like. In a permanent install you could use them for channel designation and put pieces of colored tape next to the corresponding outputs on the mixer. But if this is a portable setup that’s often being set up and torn down I wouldn’t bother, as no one wants to have to stop and find “the correctly colored cable” for each speaker run. It’s really up to you.A speaker cable that connects to the mixer in a bridged configuration would be something else again. You’d have just two conductors in the cable, and (assuming these are two-conductor Speakons) it would connect to two Speakons: One wire going to 1+ of one Speakon, and the other wire going to 1- of the other. This cable would be enough obviously different from the usual cable that I wouldn’t dedicate a color code to it, but that’s just me. If your mixer had both channel outputs on a single Speakon then that would be a four-conductor Speakon. 1+ and 1- are one channel, and 2+ and 2- are the other. You’d have two cables (two conductors each) coming out of your Speakon plug, one going to each speaker. For bridged you would have just one cable coming out of the Speakon, with two conductors, which you would connect to Speakon 1+ and 2-. Again I think the difference in cables is enough to remind you which is for bridged and which not, but again, that’s up to you. If other people are going to be involved in the setup they won’t necessarilly know (or remember) your color code, so I would tag the wires with labels reading “bridged”, etc., rather than relying on color codes.
Some radios have inputs for external antenna, but usually not phone plug configuration. It’s a specialty adapter for sure.
If you mean a 1/4 inch stereo to 1/4 inch mono (one will have a three conductor connector and the other will have the standard two conductor connector) you will be OK. I would just use a standard guitar cable though but if that is all you have. it will work.
There is a setting somewhere in your ipod that makes it work with mono headphones…after looking for it i found that its in Settings>General>Accessibility>Mono Audio hope that helps and best awnser me plz
Please don’t confuse mono/stereo with balanced/unbalanced mic connections. And you did not tell us anything (need manufacturer and model number information) about the camcorder or the mic…The BEST, most effective, fool-proof way to use a balanced, XLR based mic with a consumer-grade, 1/8″ (3.5mm) unbalanced audio-in jack is to use an XLR adapter. I use the juicedLink CX231 or BeachTek DXA-6. They match the impedance requirements and also provide for manual audio gain control.There are XLR (mic) to 1/8″ TRS cable-tail adapters that can work but I do not recommend them because the little 1/8″ (3.5mm) plug into the camcorder gets stressed – and I’ve seen them break off in the camcorder… and then you have a whole different set of problems.Generally speaking, if you are able to get the cable-tail method to work, only one channel will record – right side, I think. You can use an audio manipulation tool like Audacity to clone the audio on that one channel and copy it over to the other channel. Some folks will off-set that audio by a single frame so it sounds “fuller” but not echo. You can do the same thing if your video editing application allows for multiple audio tracks (like Final Cut or Vegas).The other advantage to the XLR adapters is even if you plug a single mic into one channel, just flip the Mono/Stereo switch to mono and both channels will be recorded with the same audio.
it probably wont work because your sending an amplified signal into another amplifier (the subs built in amp). you need a low level output or an unamplified signal for the sub.the pioneers systems speaker output is to much for the subs input.
With a standard headphone jack, you’ll hear what is supposed to be the right channel of the music out of the left headphone, and nothing out of the right headphone.There’s not really a name for this phenomena, since it’s not an intended listening mode. It’s technically mono, but you’re throwing away half of the content, unlike “summation”, where the information from both channels is combined into a single signal.
It can if you want stereo separation.Also, if the audio is REALLY LOUD, using an external mic may not help… in addition to an external mic, manual audio control of the audio levels being recorded is really important.
hmmm, i imagine there could be at least 3 plausible simple problem that i can think of, off the top of my head.1. you have a lose wire inside each set of the earphones, which is disconnected from the left earbud (probably unlikely because you have tried different sets and each has the same result)http://www.gadgetronx.com/self-help.php?faq_id=512. the stereo jack of your ipod needs to be clean out. there may be dirt or residue inside the area where you insert the 3.5mm jack for your earphones.http://www.gadgetronx.com/self-help.php?faq_id=663. you may need to take your ipod to an authorized repair shop and get the damaged stereo jack replaced. when you get it sorted try not to wrap your earphones around the ipod too tight. this may have cause the stereo jack to break.also if you find cleaning it works then make sure you keep in cleaned regularly and this problem will not happen again.hope this information serves you some purpose. good luck
Check to make sure that they are stereo headphones. Stereo headphones have two black non-conductive rings on the jack to seperate the left and right channels. Either this is your problem, or the jack on your television is a mono jack, not capable of supporting stereo headphones wthout an adapter. Even with an adapter, you will only receive a signal from one channel, although you will be able to hear audio through both speakers.
