Ever been on a road trip where you and a friend wanted to swap tunes but none of you remembered the aux cable? It’s enough to send any self-respecting audiophile (or sedatephobe) into cold sweats. Fortunately, Sweetwater is your hookup for all lengths and styles of 1/8-inch TRS stereo cables. Whether it’s a car-length 1/8-inch TRS male (TRSM) to 1/8-inch TRSM auxiliary cord you’re after or a studio-spanning 1/8-inch TRS female (TRSF) to TRSM headphone extension cable, you’ll find them all at Sweetwater.com.


“The aux”


1/8-inch male to 1/8-inch male


The most common use for an 1/8-inch TRSM to 1/8-inch TRSM cable is pairing a listening device, such as a smartphone or MP3 player, to the auxiliary input of a car stereo or mixing board. This protocol is widely available today and supports just about any device with a standard 1/8-inch stereo headphone jack or adapter — whether it’s an old-school CD deck or the latest iPad Pro.


The headphone/aux extender


1/8-inch male to 1/8-inch female


If you’re reaching the limit on how far your earbuds and studio headphones can stretch, you’re probably due for an 1/8-inch TRSM to 1/8-inch TRSF headphone extension cable. This simple extender can give you an added 10–25 feet of reach between your headphone output and your studio cans.


The 1/8-inch TRSM to 1/8-inch TRSF also works in reverse: it can add reach between your mobile device and live mixing console when you need to, for instance, run backing tracks from the stage or cue songs from the soundbooth. In any scenario, the headphone/aux extender is one cable you’ll definitely want in your pro audio arsenal.


1/8-inch TRS cables vs 3.5mm TRS cables — what’s the difference?


The differences between these terms comes down to nomenclature. Though different folks will refer to 1/8-inch cables (US imperial) as 3.5mm cables (metric), the two use the very same protocol. Which is to say, an 1/8-inch cable will work just fine with a 3.5mm headphone jack and vice versa.
