Re: [Avid-L2] OTish: Audio Level Converter? Pyle Premium Direct Injection Audio Box - 2.36" x 4.09" Passive DI Unit Hum Eliminator w/ Input Attenuator to Connect Guitar & Bass, 1/4'' Impedance Transformer Connector to Balanced & Unbalanced XLR

TR and TRS connectors are likely the most inconsistent of any standard
connector. They're even worse that XLR. I think any hope of a standard
was lost back in the 1930s when Leo Fender and Orvil Gibson decided to
use identical TS connectors for guitar inputs and speaker outputs. It's
only gotten worse with the proliferation of TRRRRRS 3.5mm connectors
that handle multiple audio outputs, microphone inputs, digital signals,
and psychic phenomena over the same cable.  --J.B.
