Hi,
1st of all, i'd like to know the exact connections inside a jack plug :
For a stereo jack :
the extremity is the left signal
the middle is the right one
then it's ground (the bigger one)
Is this correct ?
For a mono jack :
the extremity is the hot point
then the bigger part is the ground ?
Correct as well ?
If so, when you connect a mono (male) plug inside a stereo (female) one, is there a risk to short-circuit the right channel of the female plug (through the common ground of the male plug) ?
I am designing a headphone amp so this has to be taken into account
