Any musician or person working in sound must understand the various types of audio connectors and cables. The main ones are 1/4 inch, XLR, RCA, Speakon and even MIDI. They can be use to connect guitars, keyboards, microphones, speakers and more. Though it may seem daunting if you are new to sound or are a new musician, it is rather easy to understand audio instrument and speaker cables and connectors.
