Default Muddle over left/right channel of TRS plug

On 9/25/2009 4:46 AM William Sommerwerck spake thus:

As to colours, in the UK some pro stuff uses red and green
as per the naval convention - ie red (port) left, green (starboard)
right. Whereas in domestic stuff red is usually right. Just to add
to the confusion.


As far as the RCA plugs are concerned, the Red plug has long been Right.


As a mnemonic, I think of it as a political thing (right=red, left=blue
[i.e., not-red]).
