Dear Friends
This is a very easy one for those who knows the answer. Per the attached pic of a female 3.5 mm terminal, how can I determine which goes to ground? The one that looks cupper or the chromed one?
Thanks

The shell is always the GND. The center is teh signal.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

The larger one is ground. The other two are the left and right channels.
