Plug the 3.5mm end into the iPad and the other into a stereo channel on the mixer. You can go the route of an RCA cable or you can use two dual TS unbalanced plugs. There are a few ways you can convert that 3.5mm stereo plug into something usable. Both might be PVC pipe but with different contents. Therefore, while it might be easy to think the cables work the same way because the plugs look the same, it’s like having two plastic pipes where one is used to carry drinking water and the other is to carry waste. In the case of the iPad, it’s got a headphone (stereo-out) plug and the audio mixer channel inputs are for balanced signals. One is to carry a stereo signal and the other is to carry a balanced signal. You must understand, however, that these cables can be used in two different ways. No 3.5mm inputs so we are going to have to do a little conversion work.Ī 3.5mm stereo plug and a TRS plus look the same in that they have a tip, a ring, and a sleeve. The back of your sound board is filled with 1/4 -inch TRS plugs and RCA plugs. Connecting via the 3.5mm plug is the easiest route to go.
