Can RCA video cable be used for audio?

A good example of this is the RCA cable. The RCA cable is typically composed of 3 cables that would carry 1 for video and 2 for audio (left and right channels). It is a very recent standard that is capable of carrying HD quality video as well as multiple channels of high fidelity audio.

What causes hum in audio systems?

The most common cause of hum is the ground loop – fortunately it is also the easiest to solve. There are two basic types: 120Hz buzz, typically caused by ground loops, and 60Hz hum, typically a result of poor shielding, cable problems, or close proximity to strong magnetic fields.

Is video cable good for audio?

The short answer is yes. The long answer is that interconnects can effect the sound like any other component, but sound is personal, if you like the sound then it’s fine. What is important is not to use mismatched cables for right and left, this will seriously degrade your soundstage and image.

Will video cables work for audio?

Just to add or clarify, video cables (or any 75ohm cables) WILL work as audio cables.

What is the difference between component video cables and RCA cables?

Composite RCA cables feature one yellow connector for video, and red and white connectors for audio. Component cables use the red and white audio connectors, but they divide the video into three components: one for luma (brightness) and two for color information.

What makes an RCA cable good?

When looking at RCA cables, you should go for a connector that is plated with highest quality gold. If it is made from silver or copper, its conductivity would be better. If it is entirely made of gold, its conductivity would be less as compared with the other two materials.

Can I use yellow RCA cable for audio?

A typical RCA connector on a cable can be used to transmit audio or video. Usually the yellow end denotes composite video (all the signals combined for the video), and the red and black ends are for audio, but it doesn’t matter – that is just to help you hook them up properly; a color code for you.

Why is my TV making a humming noise?

If the hum is caused from the cable TV connections, or internet connections, you can use PS Audio’s HumZero. If it is not a cable TV causing the problem, it may mean there’s a power ground loop between the two pieces of equipment. You can test for this by using an AC “cheater plug” that lifts the third wire ground from the AC receptacle.

How do I get rid of the hum in my speakers?

Why won’t My DVR connect to my TV?

Or that you have a bad ground signal on the Rca port of the Dvr. If the speaker works fine with another RCA output. And no other device is close to the dvr then you have a bad ground on the Rca of the dvr. You can test this by touching the metal case of of the dvr bare metal not painted.
