The transmission of sound along these wires is not perfect due to a variety of factors and this can have implications on the sound coming from your speakers. Even with proper maintenance, issues may still arise with audio cables. Here are common problems and how to troubleshoot them: Unsecure. TRS cable connection tends to get loose over time due to its plug-unplug nature of usage. It also makes the cable prone to getting detached from the connection. Increasing cable capacitance over long cable runs decreases the signal level at which high frequencies are attenuated. If each wire carries half the signal voltage swing as in fully differential outputs then longer cable runs can be used without the loss of high frequencies.
One insulation ring means a guitar lead connector can only carry one audio signal, through the 'Tip', plus the ground signal on the 'Sleeve'. Thus a TS guitar lead can only ever be 'mono and unbalanced'. Speaker cables are unbalanced cables that typically use much heavier gauge conductor wires than patch, instrument, or mic cables. These heavy-gauge wires are necessary because speakers are expected to carry much higher voltage signals than other types of audio cables. Speaker cables may be fitted with any of several connectors, including ¼-inch phone or MDP or “banana clip” connectors. Both balanced and unbalanced cables are used for connecting instruments and microphones to audio interfaces and other audio equipment.
Some balanced cables have five conductors—two pairs of conductors for balanced signals plus one conductor that goes to ground. These cables are called star quad cables. The two pairs of conductors allow a star-like configuration that’s very effective at minimizing electromagnetic interference. On the other hand, the TS cable is suitable for a mono instrument such as a guitar. The tip of the TS cable transmits the signals. The TRS cable often uses an additional conductor for transmitting balanced and audio signals and connecting a voltage divider. TRS cable makes use of a stereo connection. This connection usually appears in a large format. This cable type is also the most efficient for studio functions. Most professional music creators and producers prefer XLR over TRS, but there are cases when the latter is a more sensible choice. However, the XLR cable is compatible with any application using three wires. It is essential for transmitting balanced signals.
The ability for a TRS cable to carry 2 lines of audio makes it capable of transferring both 'balanced' and 'stereo' audio. A balanced audio signal consists of 2 versions of the one signal (normal + inverted), so in essence balanced audio is 2 individual signals, it's just that these are combined by the input device to create one 'noiseless' signal. Audio mixers and processors will often have balanced TRS inputs and outputs.Given the benefits of balanced audio cables, i.e., their better audio quality due to lower interference, why would you want to use an unbalanced cable? It is easy to change the XLR cable from an unbalanced cable to a balanced cable. The TRS cable is an easy cable to make use of. It is very suitable for mono applications. Inflexibility. The equipment you are using must be compatible with XLR cable, which means the equipment must be a female port and the connector must be a male port. In unbalanced cables, interference can cause unwanted currents to flow in the (conducting) outer sheath. Since this sheath acts as a signal return path, the unwanted currents flowing through it will impact the (wanted) signal flowing in the core of the cable, affecting the quality of sound. Phantom power This is one of the reasons we strongly encourage individuals to trust us to build their TRS cables.
