Introduction to Analog Interconnects Music in Har m o n y with Science Interconnects are the group of cables which connect individual audio and video devices. Analog interconnects transfer analog waveforms, typically in the audio band of frequencies, between electronic devices. Analog interconnects allow a device such as a CD player to send information to a receiver or for a pre-amp to send information to a power amplifier. TM The analog interconnects shown were created using Kimber’s own OSCa
