Audio cables are used to connect an audio source to an acoustic device. Unlike video cables, they tend to be smaller and more portable. There are many different cables, with some designed for high-quality audio output, while others act as adapters. So how do you choose the right 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
