Barrel - Audio Connectors come in a variety of sizes and configurations, and are found in nearly every audio related application. From music production to studio monitoring, to use in a live sound system, and even in consumer audio applications, there is likely a barrel connector being used in some form. This article will explore the various types of barrel connectors and how they are used in the current environment.

A barrel connector is a short cylindrical connector that can accept two or more wires and is typically used to link audio devices. They are classified by the size of their outer diameter, which range from 3.5 mm up to 13 mm. The most commonly used sizes are the 3.5 and 6.35 mm plugs. They are colorful and easy to identify for connection purposes in audio mixing environments.

The 3.5 mm male connector is found in consumer audio devices and is also known as the 1/8" plug. It is primarily used for headphones, headsets, and microphones. However, it is also used to connect some mixers to PA systems or speakers and to connect effect processors to DJ mixers and audio interfaces.

The 6.35 mm plug is also known as a 1/4" plug and is most commonly used in audio mixing environments, typically for microphones, audio devices, and mixing boards. They are also commonly used in electrical cables for transmitting electric signals. This size of the connector is found in guitars and other musical instruments.

The 13 mm female connector, also referred to as the 7/16" plug, is used for professional audio applications, such as for PA systems and connecting amps to speakers. It is very durable and is designed for the high-powered outputs known from professional audio equipment.

In addition to the barrel connectors, there is also an range of connectors that are known as screw-type or twist-lock connectors. They are larger than the barrel connectors, typically in sizes from 6.3 mm to 15.7 mm, and they offer a more secure connection than the barrel connectors. They can also withstand higher current levels than the bolt-on versions. Although they do have a locking mechanism, it is not always necessary to tighten them all the way for them to remain connected, making them much more convenient for live sound applications.

No matter the application, there is likely a type of barrel connector that will be suitable for the job. They are a reliable and easy to use type of connector, which makes them a popular choice in the audio industry. They are made from different materials, ranging from plastic and metal, and can be found in a variety of sizes and configurations. The most popular types are the 3.5 and 6.35 mm plugs, and their larger counterparts of the 7/16" and screw-type connectors. Each type of connector has its own unique characteristics, and it is always good to know which type of connector will best suit your needs.
