Balancedlines are made specifically for reducingaudiointerference and noise rejection.  The rule ofthumb says, the longer thecable,the
morenoiseyouraudiosignalislikelytoencounter.Youraudiocableactsasanantennaandhastheabilitytopickupneighboringfrequencies,
andotherenvironmentalfactors,thatmayinterferewiththewayyoursoundperforms.The'noise'thatcanaffectyouraudiosignalsinclude
electromagnetic sound waves that are generated by devices like neighboring sound processors, computers, fans, motors, etc. Therefore,
balancedlinesarethebestoptionforrunninglongcablethroughyouraudioequipment.However,if
youraudioequipmentisconfinedwithin
a single room or small space, then unbalanced lines will function sufficiently; keep in mind, the less interfering electromagnetic wave
producing devices aroundyour equipment, the better. Balanced connector lines arealso widely used with microphone connection. The
outputsignalfrommostmicrophonesisrathersmall,soeventhesmallestamountofinterfering'noise'willbeevidenttoyourears.
