RCA jacks are unfortunately still alive and well in the USA.


That seems to be the situation everywhere, Arny.
Is it normal in the US to refer to RCA connectors as jacks?
That seems open to confusíon. What do you call the
TRS plug which we refer to as a jack?


Dread to think - Yanks also call RCA connectors 'cinch plugs', I believe...


That's the Germans primarily and other Europeans who do that, named after the
company of that name.
