FAQs

What is the total length of the August TAA225B cable?

The total cable length is approximately 130cm when taut, with a comfortable usable length of around 120cm.

Can this cable be used for digital audio transmission?

No, the August TAA225B is an analog audio cable and only supports analog audio signals. It cannot transmit digital audio.

Will this cable work with my iPhone or iPad?

If your iPhone or iPad has a 3.5mm headphone jack (older models), it will work. Newer iPhones/iPads without a 3.5mm jack will require a separate adapter from Apple.

Can I use this to connect my phone to my car's USB port?

No, this cable uses standard 3.5mm AUX connectors. It will not work with a USB port unless your car stereo has a 3.5mm AUX input port.

Does the cable support stereo sound?

Yes, the cable supports stereo channel audio for playback.

What types of devices can I connect with this cable?

You can connect a wide range of devices including smartphones, tablets, laptops, speakers, car stereos, headphones, headsets, and CD players, provided they have a 3.5mm audio jack.

Does the cable include a built-in DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter)?

No, this is a passive analog audio cable. It does not have any active electronic components like a DAC.

Troubleshooting

No sound is playing

Verify that both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Ensure the source device is playing audio and the destination device is set to AUX input. Test with different devices or a different cable to rule out a faulty connection.

Microphone is not working

Confirm that the headset or device connected has a TRRS (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve) 3.5mm connector that supports microphone input. Check the audio settings on your source device to ensure the microphone input is enabled and selected.

Audio is distorted or intermittent

Check the cable for any visible damage, such as kinks or fraying. Ensure connectors are clean. Try a different port on either device, as one port may be damaged.

On-board controls (volume, play/pause) are not functioning

Ensure the connected headset or device is designed to work with standard 3.5mm controls and that your source device supports these control signals via an AUX connection. Compatibility can vary between device manufacturers.
