Know Your Cable Ends — Studio Connector Print

Eight connectors drawn properly, and what each one is actually for. Quarter inch TS and TRS, XLR, three and a half millimetre, RCA, five-pin MIDI DIN, speakON and banana.

Half of every studio problem is the wrong cable doing a job it was never meant to do. A balanced cable carries the signal twice, one copy inverted, and cancels the noise it picks up along the way — which is why a long run should be XLR or TRS and never TS. That is on here, in one line, where you can see it.

For a studio wall, a rehearsal space, or anyone who has ever pulled six identical black cables out of a box.

How it is made

Unframed prints are made in the UK on 170gsm silk poster stock, rolled in tissue and sent in a rigid tube.

Framed editions are a step up: the same design printed on 200gsm enhanced matte fine art paper, set in a classic moulding behind a perspex glaze — lighter than glass, safer in a room where people play, and it survives the post. No mount, so the image runs full bleed to the frame. Arrives ready to hang.

Sizes

A4 is 21 × 29.7 cm, A3 is 29.7 × 42 cm, A2 is 42 × 59.4 cm. A2 is the one most people mean by "a proper poster" — if it is going above a desk or a record player, that is the size to pick. Our print sizes guide has the full measurements and hanging heights.

Made to order

Every print is made when you order it, so allow 3–5 working days before it ships. Nothing sits in a warehouse fading.
