Jack
In the domain of signal interconnects a jack is basically the opposite of a plug. It is the receptacle into which a plug is inserted. If you are plugging your guitar into an amp, for example, you will insert the 1/4-inch phone plug at the end of your guitar cord into the jack on your amp. People sometimes get the words jack and plug confused and use them interchangeably so be careful out there.

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
