Is the contact spacing on 1/4" TS jacks consistent enough that one can
say with absolute certainty that any TRS plug inserted into any TS
jack will connect the Tip & the Sleeve but leave the Ring floating? or
is there enough variation from unit to unit (or manufacturer to
manufacturer) that that assumption could get someone in trouble?


It sounds like you are trying to reinvent a wheel that may have already been
invented... just a hunch. Can you tell us more about the problem you're
trying to solve? There may be a better solution, or there may be another
issue you're about to run into down the road that we can help you avoid.


I've been offered a great deal on a balanced (TRS) snake, & wanted to
make sure I could confidently use it in an installation that currently
contains about 75% unbalanced equipment.
