Someone confused me and made me think that 3 spaced jacks only give OUT sound and can't be used for recording. THIS video clarified and now I fully understand how it works, thanks chief
You are welcome, happy to help :)
Thank you a bunch! I hate how other channels would make a video way to long for no reason.
Thank you for getting to the point
You are welcome, happy that it was helpful. Yes i like to just talk about the topic :)
dude... literally the simplest and most direct answer for this question. For the life of me I couldn't find ANY answer that wasn't full of unnecessary convoluted information about a million different unrelated jacks and plugs you'd have wade through forever just to get to this information. All for the TH-camr to pad out their video time. THANK YOU FOR NOT DOING THIS.
Thank you heaps. Quick and simple, just what I needed
Perfect, happy to help :)

Yes it was so helpful sir....
Quick, simple and exactly what I was looking for.
Wow ! Even a non tech guy could understand it ! Explained so well ! Thanks a bunch !
You are welcome, happy to help :)
A guy explaining how to properly make your microphone work, through a microphone that doesn't properly work 🤣🤣
Thank you very much Rajat, you helped with our tech troubleshooting greatly.
Really informative. Keep uploading these small but critical details for these types of gear
Thanks, i have lot of videos planned. Hope you have subscribed to keep receiving :)
Thanks. You could have also shown which section corresponds to L, R & Mic.
Which one is best for vlogging with my phone and boya mm1
Thanks for this simple and straightforward video without the extra baggage.
You are welcome, happy to help :)
Good simple basic explanation. I think people never look at their jacks because they just work. They buy earbuds with built in microphones for their smartphones. Peopkevwho care about these differences are people who make videos with audio or have a specific need different than what your average person needs. So what about balanced and unbalanced signals requiring the appropriate jacks/cables. XLR cables? Most people have no need for XLR but sone might benefit from knowing about it to improve their setup if they are making serious videos and want consistently good quality audio. Why not make a video that is more complete so people will know their options. Just a suggestion for more stuff. Thank you.
You are welcome, happy to help :)
Good job explaining the basic difference between the trs and trrs connectors. Thanks.
Might want to improve your audio quality for videos. Your VO is bouncing off the walls and echoing like crazy.
Thanks for the suggestion, i have purchased a new mic to help with the videos. I am happy that it was a useful video to you :)
@@fundoorajatthat's awesome!
Thank you! Now I know which one I plug in for my Headphone and the other side for my phone❤
You are welcome, happy to help :)
Excellent and succinct explanation. Answered my question about why I was not able too record using a trs cable
You are welcome, glad to be able to help :)
Thanks! Nice explanation. Does this only work for Microphones? Because I also see these types on speaker cables using 3.5mm jacks.. Please Clarify me, that would be awesome
No it is the same with speaker cables.
@@fundoorajat oh I see, Thank you very much
Hey man, I have a really confusing scenario that's really bugged me for ages. I have a set of headphones I got off of someone with 1 jack and it is a 2.5mm TRS, yet it has a mic as well. It's so confusing! The most I have got it to do with a set of adapters is either sound or mic. Never both. What are your thoughts?
Hello i really need some help here I’m going crazy haha so i am a student pilot and i want to record the communications with the ATC with my phone, I’ve seen before to record the audio i need the use the audio output cable of the plane which is a 6.5mm female, but to record it with my phone do i need like an adapter such as 6.5mm male to 3.5mm male TRRS or with a TRS will my phone detect as microphone?
Thank you for the quick video. Just the answer I was looking for.
You are welcome, glad to be able to help :)
What if I have a trrs aux cable? If I use trrrs connector to convert and record into android from interface?
Sorry but correction
Trs aux cable to trrs connection to trrs
Perfect dude, answered the question I had in a fast tight clear manner. Thanks :)
You are welcome, happy to help :)
Thnx still usefull after 4 years! :)
Very simple and understandable video, please make more videos like this
So TRRS can be used that support both sound and audio. I wanna buy headphones but it has both speaker and microphone but everytime I search online, everyone only sell the TRS
Very nice, really quick and simple to the point explanation. Thank You
Thank you for your clear explanation in two minutes.
Straight and to the point! Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the simple and straightforward info
Sir, if a board is used for both headphone and microphone indeed, why do we need TRRS connection to record sound? I didn't understand that sir?
Thankyou so much for the information, it helps alot and very clear, please notice me, my trs and trrs connector both went missing. They are for using Boya by mm1 , and i really dont have any idea when to look exactly as how these look like, ive searched already but they dont have any of it, i just wanna ask what connector do i need to buy for my boya by mm1, ill put the photo below, i am really confused what to buy , ive searched of the wires of boya but they dont sell connectors same as these,and i have no idea if what cable do i need to buy
Oh i forgot i cant show u a photo here, anyway, a cable connector for boya by mm1 pleaseee help.me
Wouldn't the trrs connector have a mono mic input? Its left out, right out, mic in, and ground iirc.
Awesome video! This was just what I needed! Thanks a ton!! :)
Clear and informative, thank you Rajat!
You are welcome Jon :)
Straight to the point. Thanks.
Very easy to understand straight forward! Thanks for the clarification.
Best video so far, simple and to the point. thank you sir.
You are welcome, glad that i could help :)
Not enuff info regarding using a mike in a TRRS socket and what happens to speaker audio then??
Thank you so much for saving my time. You are the best thank you once again
Recently i purchase dell laptop..in which TRS audio jack headphones are working but TRRS earphones are not working 🙄
Will TRS male work on a TRRS female.
The sound comes through fine but the plug barely is sticking in?
Thanks! Was very clear and helpful!
Sir, i have a mic who's male side is 6 mm and i have a 6 mm to 3.5 mm jack converter...
So if i plug that into my pc will it work? Or i need to give it additional power? I have a dynamic mic
Thanks… short and well explained to the point🙏
I want to convert wireless mic in to wired mic since I WANT TO USE it in home and to eliminate the requirement of dc. I have removed the PCB OF trans meter , Now what is left on the mic is a red ( hot) black ( cool ) and yellow ( ground ) wire. Since the yellow is soldered to the body of mic ring I presume that is it ground. I understand that this kind of mic do not require power and hence I wish to join these three wires to a TRS phone jack to connect the mic to the amplifier jack. Is there anything wrong with my plan.? my connection shall be red to tip , black to ring and yellow to sleeve. Please guide .
Hello! I have a doubt. I am currently using a bluetooth headphones which can also be used a wired headphones. The old wire which was provided with the headphones was a TRRS type. The wire got damaged, so I got a new wire. The new wire is of TRS type. Will the microphone of the headset work even after connecting to a device with a TRS cable, or wont it work?
Simple and informative ! Superb job !
What if I use.. TRS aux ... One connect to tv and other end connect to headset (support mic) will I get audio clear.. Or it won't support?
Simple and straight ot the point! Thank you mate! :- D
You are welcome, happy to help :)

Hi, Can TRS be used for / on TS setup eg mono sound. Actually my req is TS but i am unable to get TS extension cord with male- female. So can TRS extension cord be used instead?
I am trying to record on an old tape deck which has 2 (Left/Right) 3.5mm inputs - Do I need to use two mono jacks? (if I want to record stereo) Also, Can I take a mono microphone (such are most old tapecorder microphones) and use an adapter to split it in two Mono in order to have a Stereo recording? thank you very much!
Hi, I have a dynamic microphone which is in XLR. I want to connect it to my Zoom H1N recorder which has a 3.5mm input. Do I need TS(mono) or TRS(stereo) on the otherside of the xlr cable. Thank you
I am not sure but think it would be TRS.
Hello! I just want to ask if a trrs cable cable can work on a trs mic port. Thanks for answering! 😁
Yes trrs adapter can covert a trs mic to be used in the phone.
I need to split the mic line-in of a TRRS port into two ports for two mics and the same for the headphone line-out. Can I do this with regular TRS splitters?
yes you can
thank you that made it very simply to understand
You are welcome, happy to help :)
Ok,I need help,so I cut out 2 jacks of my low quality earphones so I can connect it to the good quality earphones,now the 2 I cut out are TRS,and on The GOOD one ,I have a TRRS,and I don't need the mic for the earphone I'm fixing,so if I solder the wires to the TRS,will I be able to get 2 channel audio but without a mic?
Hi Rajat..i wanted to ask tht m using an external sound card to record songs on my android device. Wch of these should i use in the mic jack of sound card. I used an xlr to trrs 3.5 mm male and its nt working
Where are you planning to use the mic? If it is your phone then you need a TRRS jack for the phone.
very thank u i was confused before dude thank u
I saw an Indian Man with a Tutorial... You know that means this is the Good shit !🥰
Nice video! If I want to connect a trrs mic to my pc, should I use an adapter? The pc has one entry for headphones and another for mic, so I assume both are trs, because the mic is not working. Thanks!
If your pc has 2 ports separate for mic and headphones then TRRS will not work. TRRS works only when both are one port.
So you should use a TRS mic on the mic entry of PC.
Hey I have an astro a10 call of duty edition and I lost the wire can you give the specs of a replacement? Or maybe a link?
The carton says 3.5 I purchased an aux 3.5 wire yet it was only delivering the sound on one side of the headset. I hope you can help because we currently have offers and discounts in a major tech shop and I want to take advantage of it.
Thanks
I recently bought a extension cable with TRS for my earphones which which has TRRS. But when i connected my earphones though the extension cable and connected it to the splitter. My mic doesnt work.
Where are you connecting the earphones to?
@@fundoorajat To my PC. But the mic works when i use the extension on my phone but for some reason, it doesnt work on my pc.
@@zyondaniel8214 PC uses TRS whereas phone uses TRRS mic.
Boya mic BYM1 work on my phone and desktop but it fail to my laptop which have combined plz help
Hey what's the difference between 3 pole and 4 pole?
If I have a microphone with one of those black stripes and I have an adapter from 6.3mm to 3.5mm and that has two black stripes can I plug it into my computer and record audio or it won't work?
I think you can, it should work on your PC.

Which configuration is the TRRS a CTIA or a OMPT as they look the same but work differently.
I agree that they look same but sorry i am not aware how to find out CTIA or OMTP
@@fundoorajat The interesting thing is even Apple technicians can't give me the answer as I have a mac and need to know which the mac is. I asked several times. So yeas it's hard to get the correct info.
This was really clear. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for clarifying the topic to me very well
You are welcome, happy to help :)
I have a question, is it true TS type mic can connect to any mic port computer? Im using laptop, which USB sound card will support TS microphone?
No, TRS is the most common mic jack that connects to anything that has separate input of mic and headphones example your pc.
thank for the info! very much appreciated!
You are welcome, happy to help :)
I have an edifier XM6 speaker with an audio jack (TRS) but when I play music connected on my phone the other satellite speaker doesn't produce music . Is this compatibility issue?
I guess so, try a TRRS cable instead.
Thanks mate. quick info
You are welcome, hope you enjoy other videos on my channel :)
Thank you for this video! Question, if I'm looking to plug my speakers in to both my computer, as well as my tv audio port, can I use a TRS splitter to achieve this? I hope that makes sense!
Yes TRS should work in both the devices.
@@fundoorajat great! Thanks so much for replying! :)
thanks for the vid. straight to the point
Hi there! Nice review! I just bought a Boya mic, and I'd like your advice with an issue I'm having. Since my old camera doesn't have a mic in, I'm recording sound plugging the mic to my cell phone, using de trrs cable provided with the mic. I'm getting a lot of noise, even when recording indoors and still with the windscreen on. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Thanks for your comment. Which mic are you using for recording? Is it a lavalier mic?
Usually all mics produces noise even with wind filter, you can use a post processing software to perform noise reduction or may be give another mic a try.
I use a wireless mic for my videos and it also captures some noise, which i suppress with a post processing software.
do the 2.5mm mic cable will work to 3.5mm sound card?
Very nicely explained. 👍
Thank you! Very helpful
You are welcome :)
I got a microphone and it’s a trrs , I don’t know if it’s compatible with a chromebook or not, do you know if it is?
I think it is not. Chromebook would use TRS.
Super nice video. Quick and easy. Thank you!
You are welcome, pleased to help :)
Can anyone suggest me an audio jack adapter for my Vivo V29e?
Still confusing how to find out the type.
Thanks this was very useful!
Hi Sir, I want to input the sound from my phone to the mic input on my mixer. Can I use 3.5mm trs male to 6.5mm trs male cable?
I don't think it will work, phone's output is through earphones/headphones but not to mic.
Exactly what i needed.. Thank u so much
You are welcome, happy to help :)
So if I buy the 3.5mm splitter should microphone on my TRRS earphones work with PC?
Yes but make sure that the 3.5 splitter splits from TRRS to TRS as your computer can ready only TRS jacks.
Does trrs work in pc.? Pls reply
Great video!
Very helpful info! Cheers
If the microphone cable have rust? it is dangerous to use? Or its ok to still use it?
Depends on the rust, if it is alot then you should not.
sir i have a trrs microphone plugged into my smartphone. after i recorded some stuff then i played it back. The sound didnt come out. After i plug out the mic, then i cound hear the play back fron ny phone speaker. how to solve this problem sir? thanks sir
It is working as expected, the sound won't work when the mic is plugged in as the phone thinks it is a headphone.
