Cable Types

• XLR CABLES are always balanced cables.

They snap into place so you won't unplug them by mistake. XLR cables can be very long without picking up noise and interference.


• • TRS CABLES (Tip-Ring-Sleeve)havethreewires inside (two conductors and one ground). Together the conductors cancel out the noise. TRS is balanced if connected to balanced devices in mono. If not, they're unbalanced. How to spot them: they have two strlpes.


• TS CABLES TS(Tlp-Sleeve) are always unbalanced. ThoyYe the ones with a single stripe. These cables are mono. Remember: keep TS cables as short as possible - or else they’11 pick up noises and electrlcal hums.



• RCA CABLES mostly come in pairs to achieve stereo. RCA connectors are the DJ’s bread and butter. TheyYe the most common wires used to connect CDJs and turntables to DJ mixers.

Like TS cables, in each RCA cable you have one conductor and one ground, so theyYe always unbalanced. Keep RCA as short as possible.



DIGITAL

MIDI CABLES do not transmit sounds.

They transmit digital information called euent messages. These are instructions that contain information about: Notę ON/OFF, notes played. Velocity, Aftertouch. Tempo. Panning, Volume, etc.


What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced cables?

UNBALANCED cables have morę chances of picking up radio interference and noise.

If you were to cut open an unbalanced cable you‘d see two wires: a conductor wire and a ground wire.

BALANCED cables are designed to cancel out interferences and noises. They do it with the help of an added wire inside: two conductor wires and a ground wire. Together. both conductor wires cancel out the noise.

Do balanced cables make a balanced connection?

No! The key thing to remember: all polnts in your cable Circuit must be balanced for you to have a balanced connection.

including: the output on your gear, the cables, the input it’s going into (like your mixer or PA)

If just one of these is unbalanced, lt’ll make the connection unbalanced.


•    BALANCED

•    UNBALANCED



USB CABLES are on MIDI keyboard controllers, audio interfaces, modern synths and drum machines. They make information exchange possible between musie gear and computers. Some USB also transport MIDI information.
