Pardon my complete ignorance....i have a preamp and it has the option of a balanced XLR out and an unblanced 1/4" out and i'd like to know the difference. Thanks a lot

Balanced runs eliminate noise induced into the signal as it passes through the cable.... it's not the cable itself that's doing it - it occurs at the inputs when the 2 out-of-phase signals are recombined. It only applies to induced noise, not noise already present in the signal before being sent thru the balanced line............maxwell said:Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that the balanced cable did not really have much to do with elimating noise. (It helps to prevent noise). The noise rejection or common mode rejection happens at the input. This property is caused by op-amps at the cable input, but not the cable itself. The op-amp will amplify any difference between the signals in the wires and cancel out and common portion of the signals, hence common mode rejetcion ratio
