Which devices commonly use a female TRS connector?

The correct answer is that most speakers commonly use a female TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) connector. The female TRS connector is often found on audio equipment for connecting with male TRS plugs, making it suitable for use in various audio applications.

Speakers utilize female TRS connectors to receive audio signals from the output of devices like computers, audio interfaces, and mixing consoles. This connection allows for a balanced audio signal, which can help reduce interference and improve sound quality.

Meanwhile, microphones typically utilize female XLR connectors or 1/4-inch TRS connectors, but not all microphones do; some may use different types of connections altogether. Video cameras may use different kinds of connections such as HDMI or RCA for video signals, while printers largely rely on USB or parallel ports for data transfer rather than audio connections, further differentiating the purpose and application of each device in relation to the TRS connectors.
