2 x 6.35mm 1/4" Stereo TRS Jack Lead/Balanced Signal Audio Patch Cable / 2 Pack 3m Black/Black

Product Information

Unbalanced cables, depending on their quality, might be anywhere from 30%-60% of the cost of their balanced counterparts. Balanced wiring uses two signal conductors plus a ground, allowing noise picked up along the way to be canceled through polarity inversion. In most cases, there should be no reason that the balanced cable would be worse than an unbalanced cable.

I have managed to record one channel (mono, not stereo) from the organ AUX out into the UR22; using a 1/4″ jack from the organ to an XLR into the UR22. Because of this, balanced cables can support much longer cable runs; 50 to 100 feet (15-30 meters) is not uncommon, though even shorter runs will often use balanced wiring to protect against noise. A special rubber-like PVC material ensures flexibility at extreme temperatures (out-door recordings), additional cotton padding keeps the capacitance constant and avoids handling noise. The cables used in an audio system—and how they’re put together—can have a major impact on the sound of the system.

RCA audio cables are unbalanced analog audio connections that send stereo audio over a right channel (red tip) and left channel (white or black tip). The two signals are reversed in polarity, so as they travel down the cable, they cancel each other out. Once the hot and cold signal get to the other end of the cable, however, the polarity of the cold signal is flipped, so both signals are in phase, and perfectly in sync.

Another way to ask the same question, does it do any good to use a balance cable when one or both of the to and from units are not balanced. Noise can come from a variety of electrical and radio interferences, but it most commonly comes from power cables, which can create a humming sound if they're near cables carrying unbalanced audio. Although you can use unbalanced cables for very short runs, and probably not have any issues, you will still run the risk of getting an unnecessary hum through your speakers with any other electrical interference. Unbalanced cables work great for connecting a guitar to an amp, for instance, but because they are not very good at suppressing noise from outside interference, unbalanced cables should have a maximum length of 15-20 feet (4-6 meters), especially when used in noisy environments and with signals that are low level to begin with, such as those from keyboards, guitars, MP3 devices and so on.

Note that when I say balanced output on the soundcard,I’m not referring to the cable itself,but the actual’s cards output via its connectors(usually female).

They are extremely well made of heavy duty OFC cable and come complete with a Velcro tie; a nice touch.

Doing our initial intro playing around with the Audiolines we experienced heaps of hiss when we plug in our ukes, but nothing using xlr leads from the mics.

It seems i am only converting balanced signal from my apollo to unbalanced to the DI and then converting it back to balanced to stage box…? Audio source and the quality of materials in the actual cable's construction determine sound quality more than anything. An unbalanced cable consists of two connectors with two conductors each, connected by two wires inside the cable—a signal wire and a ground wire. Studiocare Professional Audio Limited is acting as a credit broker offering finance products from Omni Capital Retail Finance Limited.The VisioSound Lifetime Warranty guarantees all VisioSound cables against defects in materials and manufacture, ensuring that you always stay connected. Balanced signals are a great improvement on unbalanced ones, which is why all Epiphan capture, streaming and recording equipment, such as Pearl (our flagship all-in-one live production streaming, recording and mixing device), is designed to a professional standard, allowing users to achieve the best in audio (and video) quality. Balanced audio is better for longer cable runs and when those cables are around a high amount of electric signal.
