I don't know if anyone here is familiar with audio/video recording equipment, or if anyone has ever heard of the 'XLR' standard...But While I was lookin over some specs on on it, I noticed that XLR systems/cables are referred to as balanced while your common MIC lines(used for headphones n such) are not. They say XLR being balanced tends to cut back on picking up noise when you have long runs of cable.
So anyway...reading all this sparked my interest in the basic physics of things, and now I want to know what makes these XLR hook ups 'balanced' while MIC lines are 'unblanced' and also how does being balanced help with maintaining signal integrity?
