About this deal

The two signals are reversed in polarity, so as they travel down the cable, they cancel each other out. That said, when the cord length is under 10 feet, unbalanced cables actually have a stronger signal than balanced cables. In most cases, there should be no reason that the balanced cable would be worse than an unbalanced cable.

For example, did you know every cable you use in your production setup has the potential to add unwanted noise to your audio feed? Based on what this article says, i really do not need the DI box or the TS cables for this particular set up… right?Adding a signal (LEFT) to an inverted copy of itself (RIGHT) results in a canceled signal, as positive peaks in the original signal correspond to an equally negative peak in the inverted signal (and vice versa). You must be employed at least 16 hours per week, self-employed, retired in receipt of a pension or receiving disability payments. 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. The added safety of the balanced cable comes at a cost, and even after you make the purchase, you still need to pair your cables with balanced mixed equipment, which can also be more expensive. On the flip side, however, using an unbalanced cable with gear that expects balanced signals will “work” (in the sense that audio will go from point A to point B), but the signal will be unbalanced and susceptible to the same noise as any unbalanced signals.

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…?Because balanced signals send two in-phase signals, they’re also louder (roughly 6–10 dB) than what unbalanced signals can provide. Klotz MY206 is high-quality professional balanced microphone cable with PVC jacket, spiral shield and stranded copper cores. German Sommer Club Cable uses braided Oxygen Free screening which provides the ultimate screening against RF interference, thyristor lighting circuits, mobile phones, and taxis. Superior grade noiseless oxygen free copper (OFC) ensures no colouration to your sound and no more annoying buzzing!

As far as I know, I have tried all types of cable, all of which make the same amount of unwanted sound. Whether balanced and unbalanced audio sound different from each other is subjective for a variety of reasons.In general, balanced audio will give you a better, stronger audio signal without any extraneous noises. The plugs fit with a satisfying latch and have decent strain relief before the body of the cable, so I think they’ll take a lot of punishment before they give up.
