Tip = Left? Seems to be on my Sony Buds.

Cheers

Yeppers, tip: left, ring: right. You can find this on any number of audio sites. Also, when cooking up a batch of patch cables I always use red: left, white: right. I can't swear to this being a standard (I recall having seen it) as I can't find any references right now but it works for me.

I thought it was red for right and white for left. Looking at the back of my Sony mult-disk player confirms it -- the jacks themselves are color-coded that way. Anyway, if they're backwards when you're listening, all you have to do is swivel your head around 180 degrees.

Tip = left Ring = right

Convention from 1/4 inch days perpetuated into the 1/8 inch (3.5mm) portable device generation with the Sony Walkman, et.al.

Impedances and sensitivity are a whole 'nuther couple of matters, however. Recent discussion over on r.a.p

The patch cables won't affect the "sided-ness" of the signals, it's still tip-tip and ring-ring. In fact, you can use any colors you like or have handy as long as you're consistent about it.

Check out any VCR. Red = right --- Left = white

I have always used (R)ed = (r)ight as found to be true in any audio device(using colored connecters) I have come across. R = r is the convention that holds true 99.9% of time. IMHO

or Ring, starts with R.

Just when I thought thinking the world was synchronized I found out the tape adapter I am using to feed MP3s to the car stereo is backward from the sub woofer and they are out of phase. It sounds nasty.

Yes, but those are RCA jacks, not the 3 mm stereo plugs this started out about. Anyway, for the patch cables it's mainly a matter of which goes where, the colors of what goes in between don't really matter. Easy enough to change over next time I make a couple. Sometimes I've had to make do with blue and yellow.

Very good! I hadn't thought of that one. I knew the tip was left, but your offering is clever.

An old telephone installer once told me their mantra was "red-right-ring"
