Neutrik Rean Stereo Phone Plug
Neutrik REAN NYS228 — 1/4" Stereo (TRS) Phone Plug
A Solder-On 3-Pole Plug for Balanced and Stereo Cables
The REAN NYS228 is a full-size 1/4" (6.35 mm) stereo phone plug with three poles—tip, ring, and sleeve. Made by REAN, Neutrik's value line, it brings a rugged die-cast handle, nickel-plated contacts, and a straightforward solder connection to any cable you build or repair. When you need a balanced or stereo connection that holds up, this is the plug.
Why a TRS (Stereo) Plug?
The extra ring on a TRS plug carries a third conductor, which lets one plug do several jobs:
- Balanced mono: hot, cold, and ground for noise-free runs to mixers, interfaces, and active speakers.
- Stereo: left, right, and ground—ideal for headphones and stereo gear.
- Insert cables: send and return on a single plug for mixer insert points.
Built by REAN
Engineered to Neutrik's standards and priced for everyday shop work, the NYS228 features oversized solder tabs for clean joints, a large cable clamp for strain relief, and a nickel finish that resists wear. Rugged construction means it survives the road and the rack alike.
