What are audio connectors?

Audio encompasses a large number of interfaces including digital and analog. These are used in a number of applications from home theater and portable use to the pro audio mixing boards that DJ's and other audio professionals use. One similarity that most audio connector types share is they are easy to connect. Manufacturers of consumer electronics prefer to use simple interfaces that average users can connect and disconnect without having to tighten thumbscrews, or release tabs or latches. This preference can prove challenging to manufacturers who must balance convenience with performance.
