Re: 7mm phone jack

The BBC throw in another name to describe unbalanced =BC=94 jack plugs (suc=
h as
guitar leads) and that is igranic.

It was used to positively identify any plug or socket that wasn=92t post
office.

If a post office plug, or 316 to give its proper name was inserted into a =
=BC=94
socket, then the different tip shape could damage the socket.

They still seem to call balanced =BC=94 plugs as TRS through.

That's a reference I've never come across. I mix a lot of concerts in
metric-based countries & the standard term for these connectors is
"Jack".
