An Simple Audio Output Multiplug

Choto Cheeta · 28-12-2007, 12:33 AM

Recently I went out for a little vacation, I took my ZUNE 30 with me… As I was with my cousin brother, and while on a long distance bus ride, seating beside him enjoying the zune, a question came to my mind…

Why cant we both enjoy the same music or video ??

Infact there is a nifty little tool which makes sure that we can enjoy 2 head or ear phones with a single output device such as ZUNE or iPOD…

Same tools also works for another purpose… Suppose you have a notebook which only has support for single output or rather 2.1 support and you want to run 5.1 / 4.1 on the 2.1 channel supported speaker !

The technology is really simple… Multiplug… Same idea as what you may see at wall mounted electrical solutions…

The idea is, take a single input, and provide 2 or more out puts… Bellow is a simple diagram or the idea for Audio out put layout for most of the notebook / Laptop or 2.1 supported motherboard…

As you may see A is Line in, B is line out (which is the jack where you plug the speakers or head phone or ear plugs), C is Mic in…

So basically what this multiplug does is, it gives you 2 outputs in place of one, so that in case of a portable Music player (PMP), such as Zune / iPOD / Zen, 2 ear plugs or head phones may work simontaniously…

And in case of a notebook, it allows you to plug in 5.1 speakers to a single output… As 5.1 speakers would have 2 audio plug or jacks, Rear speaker connector and front speaker connector… ! So now you may plug in both the Rear and front speaker to the notebook via this multi plug…

How does a multi plug look like ??

Its a nifty little tool…

How much one costs me ?

In local Kolkata (India) computer market is between Rs. 5/- to 10/-… Which is USD 0.25 each…

If you feel confuse, and have any question, drop them as comment !

^^ where to get such a thing in Delhi? pls do NOT mention nehru place

You can go for a multiplug. But there might me problem for sound distortion. It's good to look for the specifications first then to go for it.

xbonez · 28-12-2007, 08:36 PM

yeah, its a pretty nifty tool. i had bought one for rs 15 from Nehru Place...there's no noticeable loss in quality though volume output reduces slightly

Choto Cheeta · 28-12-2007, 11:24 PM

with my ZUNE it actually helps in Radio receiving when both the ear plugs are pluged in...

xbonez · 28-12-2007, 11:39 PM

why is it odd ?? as i guess you know the ear phone acts as an antena for the radio

so 2 is better than one (by theory offcouse)

may be thats the case

@Choto Cheeta
try plugging in some alluminium thin bar in one of them without shorting R nd L. I wanna do someth to increase the FM reception om ma phone....the signals is very weak in ma area.

Btw, you can't connect a 5.1. It has 3 separate connectors. What you can connect is 4.1 setup. However, it will not be a true 4.1. It will be pseudo-4.1. Meaning the same signal is replicated both in the front and rear speakers.

However, my experience with this has been somewhat tricky as far as speakers are considered. I tried 2 separate ones, bought from different shops (different models). With ear/headphones they are fine but with pseudo-4.1 setup the sound was distorted.

Sorry going to a through time

anyway, in the foot paths of behind the building of email, near the sabir hotel

Avoid those footpath wala stuff for anything audio.For audio connectors buy atleast MX stuff.....5-10 bucks costlier but decent quality.
You'll get it at Naresh Radio(but beware he's a cut-throat)
