Another question: cables

Quote from beagle;30139

which TRS cables should I use? I notice that some are stereo, like these:

and some are mono:

Does it make any difference?

not are stereo are balanced!!
balanced cables are less noise cose it phase the singnal when the signal come in and phase again when it goes out! so if the cable get a noise static for example the noise how the signal is in phase the noise is eliminated!!

is better balanced but i have lots of unbalanced(mono) and have no probs

normally, balanced cables (stereo) are the most appropriate for connections through the equipment that is used . Unbalanced cables are mostly used in music instruments and then to a di box...etc.

of course as Ivan said if someone use unbalanced and there is no noise , then there is no reason to replace them

lol , i am not sure if i help further as Ivan covered the point

TRS = balanced = stereo

TS = unbalanced = mono

there is a difference

that's not a rule also mono cable can be balanced.

my OSCar synth had a noisy output, xperimented with these and various high quality cables and its
now the quietist,with very powerfull output.also got one on the voco input makes a difference there also.
it wont work on everything,its kind of a trial and error.but its worth considering.

on the whole normal instrument jacks (unbalanced) work fine.

quality cables can make a difference in certain applications..
