GND and microphone bands

English to German Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng Audio headset switch
Es geht um die zwei Kategorien von Headsets, die von Nokia und das von Apple.
Kontextsatz: The main difference between these two configurations is that the GND and Microphone bands of the headset are switched in position. In the Apple version, the Ring2 band is GND while the Sleeve band is the microphone. In the Nokia version, the Ring2 band is the microphone and the Sleeve band is GND.
Ich verstehe, dass die beiden sich darin unterscheiden, dass die Pole für Masse und die Pole für das Mikrofon sich an einer anderen Stelle (auf dem Stecker) befinden. Während bei der Apple Variante der zweite Pol der Erdung/Masse und der letzte dem Mikrofon entspricht, entspricht bei der Nokia Version der zweite Pol dem Mikrofon und der letzte der Masse/Erdung.
Aber das ist geraten.

Discussion

meirs Oct 30, 2011:
electrical vs. visual Electrically, the 4-pole plug has 4 contacts (poles). Visually, the author describes the plug as having 3 bands (and a tip - that is out of the discussion). The band that is closer to the plug root (opposite the tip) is also called "sleeve" whereas the next two are called "rings". Bottom line - author mixes terminology in an inconsistent manner. (Historically, the PL55 plug had 2 contacts - ring and tip).
If I were the technical writer of the same, I would say that, counting the tip as contact no. 1, the Apple version uses contact no. 4 as MIC and contact no. 3 as GND - whereas Nokia uses contact no. 3 as MIC and contact no. 4 as GND. Very simple IMHO.

I would like to suggest this. I hope this is helpful.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Rolf Kern : Also das mit dem "Frequenzbereich" kann irgendwie nicht stimmen.

als Alternative für "Pol", was wohl auch korrekt ist
