How to Choose an Audio Cable
Individual audio cables differ mainly by their connectors. When choosing a cable, you have to know what cable connectors you need.
Jack - a connector type used to transmit electroacoustic signals
Cinch - a cable that also transmits video information
Optical cable - provides digital audio transmission

Before buying a cable, check if you need a male or female connector. This can be the main factor in your purchase.
Jack
A connector type present in most consumer electronics. Its foremost advantage is its wide compatibility. It is also capable of transmitting sound from the microphone. Manufactured in several different sizes. The standard sizes are 2.5mm and 3.5mm, with most modern devices supporting both.
TS - no ring, mono sound
TRS - with ring (tip, ring, and sleeve), stereo sound
TRRS - with multiple rings that transmit microphone sound
TRRRS - with multiple rings that also transmit video
Wide compatibility
Colour coding
Many different markings
Cinch
The standard format for professional transmission of video and audio data. Connectors marked red and white (black) are used for audio transmission. Cinch connectors are commonly used in acoustic systems, as the audio channels can be changed freely. It is compatible with SCART terminals.

Optical Cable
This type is designed for transmission of digital information. The cables are especially useful for professional musicians because they transmit audio in the highest quality possible without any ambient interference.

Reducers and Adapters
These are cables that change one type of connector to another. Most convert one analog connector to another analog connector, though there are also externally powered converters capable of converting a digital signal into analog.
