Whether in the rehearsal room, on stage or for spontaneous sessions in peculiar places: one thing is always missing. Sometimes it’s batteries, cables or a saving Y-adapter. The big question marks follow: 3.5 stereo, mini jack or banana plug? Is it possible to extend the MIDI? Two to the interface or with Bluetooth? Talking about music equipment, technical devices, connectors and connections always leads to misunderstandings and irritations. An adequate language about it and the knowledge of basic standard devices, plugs and cables helps to make oneself better understood, to ask the right questions and to save a lot of time for the greatest moments around making music.
