In a TRS, the wiring is as
follows:
Tip: It is the contact for positive.
Ring: It is the contact for negative.
Sleeve: It is the contact for the
ground signal.
Unlike the TS connector, which has 2
contact points, a TRS cable has 3
contact points:
The sleeve, ring, and tip. This extra
contact makes a huge difference.
It enables the cable to output a stereo
or balanced audio signal.

TRS it can The 6.35 mm connectors take three main types:
TS has two contact points. The
wiring is as follows:
Tip: It is the contact for positive.
Sleeve: It is the contact for the
ground contact.
Like 3.5mm TS connectors, ¼ inch TS
connectors have two main parts: The
sleeve and tip.
They only transmit unbalanced mono
audio signals since they contain only
one transmission channel.
Insert cable:
2xTS to 1xTRS "Y" cable.
Tip: It is the contact for positive.
Ring: It is the contact for return.
Sleeve: It is the contact for the
ground signal.
Connect a channel insert on a mixing
console to an effects processor with
unbalanced phone jacks.
Synth-level signals can be converted to line-level signals using the four
provided attenuators.
There are four attenuators in total, one for each "T" and "R" pin of
each of the two channels.
Many IN/OUTs configurations you can get with TRS depending on the type of cables you use.
Two mono Outs, two stereos Outs, Four Outs and so on.
Extra red nuts are supplied with the module, so the user can colour code INs and OUTs
depending on the configuration.
