why would the connector need to change? nothing has come out that's really better for analog signals

- recursive 4mo agoIt's not really better. And no, it's not inherently balanced. TRS can carry a balanced signal. I've seen a mixer that had TRS balanced mono outputs.
- vitally3643 4mo agoI do find it hilarious that the phono jack appeared fully formed and hasn't changed in a hundred years. We got the smaller flavors of TRS sure, but the big honking quarter inch phono jack has stayed exactly the same. Perfect design in one go, no notes.
- kevin_thibedeau 4mo agoThey were originally ball-ended. Some refinement has happened.
- jcarrano 4mo agoIf signals were based on low impedance current loops as opposed to voltage-based like they are today, interference could be much reduced. This would break phantom power, so power to preamps would have to be send through another set of conductors, which would make the design of the electronics easier as well as safer. Of course, none of this will ever happen.
