I am trying to make a 1/8" stereo female-to-female coupler (to connect two male plugs).
I have a radioshack part no. 274.249 set of 2 1/8" 3-conductor stereo jacks.
If I wanted to connect both of the stereo jacks together to get stereo sound, which pin would I send to which?
I've done some googling and I *think* I have deteremined that Pin 1 is the "sleeve" (ground?), Pin 2 is the "Tip" (or left channel?), and Pin 3 is the "Ring" (right channel?). The picture on the TRS connector Wikipedia page labeled "B" matches what I have, so I'm going by that.
Ultimately, would each channel get sent to the corresponding channel on the other jack if I just connected each, or would I need a more complex circuit to accomplish this? I'd like the best sound quality that you could get out of these jacks.
Thanks for the help,
John
