When connecting old-style speakers, a problem arises in the absence of a suitable connector on the speakers. Usually, a modern mini Jack 3.5 plug is used to connect to a PC. In older audio systems, such a plug may not be. In this case, the user has to use an adapter. However, on some formats the adapter may not be, and some adapters for some connectors are extremely difficult to find. In this case cable for audio systems can be made by yourself.
How to make a cable for yourself
To make a cable with your own hands, you should use shielded two-wire wire. It will receive a signal to the device.
- Solder one end to wires or pinsthat come from the audio system itself.
- Second end twin cable need solder to the contacts of the mini jack plug.
The the port can be of two types: two-pin or three-pin. They differ in the signals that enter the input of the plugs.
- In the three-pin connector, two contacts serve as a signal transmission for the left and right channels, and the third for the microphone.
- In older speakers, there is no microphone, so a two-pin plug is required for proper operation.
The cable of the left and right channel should be soldered to the corresponding contacts on the connector. After this, the place of soldering should be isolated.
ATTENTION! All work should be carried out with the device turned off! Otherwise, a short circuit may occur that will damage the speakers.
The procedure for connecting speakers with a homemade cable to a computer
After work on the plug is completed, you should plug it into a classic mini Jack 3.5 jack on a PC.
If after connecting to the speakers loud noises and noisesThe insulation of the contacts may be broken. As a result the left and right channels touch each other.
To fix this problem, you need re-solder the connector more accurately, not forgetting to isolate the work surface after all operations.
