through ground connections. The basic principle of balanced interconnection
is to get the signal you want by subtraction, using a three-wire connection.

The CXA80 is designed to work at its highest performance when a balanced
interconnect is used.
Note: To select the balanced input on the CXA80, press the A1 button twice
on the front panel or on the remote control so that the A1 light on the front
panel display lights up Orange. Repeatedly pressing the A1 button will toggle
between balanced and unbalanced inputs.
