It's particularly valuable for DJs who mix from smartphones, podcasters using mobile recording setups, and venues that need guest device integration.

The connector features standard solder terminals for easy installation with basic soldering skills. You'll receive one SAPT317 connector ready for your cable project. Seismic Audio backs this connector with a one-year warranty and fast shipping, giving you professional-grade components at accessible prices for all your audio connectivity needs.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between TRRS and TRS connectors?

TRRS (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve) connectors have four contact points and handle stereo audio plus microphone signals, while TRS connectors have three points for stereo audio only. The SAPT317 TRRS design lets you connect devices like smartphones that send both audio output and microphone input through a single 3.5mm jack. This makes it perfect for integrating mobile devices into PA systems or recording setups.

Can I use this connector to connect my phone to a mixing console?

Yes, the SAPT317 works well for connecting smartphones and tablets to mixing consoles or DJ mixers. You'll need to wire it to the appropriate cable configuration for your mixer's input – typically a dual RCA or dual 1/4" cable for stereo connections. The TRRS configuration also supports microphone signals if your setup requires mic input from the mobile device.

What soldering skills do I need to install this connector?

Basic soldering experience is sufficient for installing the SAPT317. You'll need a soldering iron, solder, and wire strippers to connect your cable to the four solder terminals. The spring strain relief requires proper assembly to protect the connection point. If you're new to soldering, practice on spare wire first or have an experienced technician handle the installation.

How does this compare to pre-made 3.5mm cables?

The SAPT317 gives you flexibility to create custom cable lengths and terminations that pre-made cables can't match. You can build exactly the cable you need for your specific setup, whether that's a 3.5mm to dual RCA, 3.5mm to dual XLR, or any other configuration. This connector is also valuable for repairing damaged cables rather than replacing entire assemblies.

Will this work with professional audio equipment?

Yes, the nickel-plated construction and proper 4-pole design make the SAPT317 suitable for professional applications. The connector maintains signal integrity and provides reliable connections for live sound, recording, and broadcast applications. Many pro audio setups benefit from custom cables that integrate consumer devices with professional mixing consoles and interfaces.
