Speedskater replied to the thread 1 foot solid silver conductor interconnect vs. 0.5 foot Mogami W2964 interconnect.For an analog RCA unbalanced interconnect, a cable with a coax construction is best. While there could be multiple central conductors... -
Speedskater replied to the thread Balanced vs Unbalanced - maybe there is something in it after all.You would think so. But system hook-up errors, caused problems on the lab floor. And similar problems caused problems in a hospital...

Speedskater replied to the thread Making my own RCA -> XLR cables.Note two: The above is for a RCA output to an XLR input. Because there are three & a half types of XLR output stages, no single...

Yes. Which means using a shielded pair cable (shield plus 2 conductors), not coax.

I’d suggest wiring as the second picture, only sending RCA black (sleeve) to XLR pin 3, and jump to Pin 1. That way if you do get hum... -

Speedskater replied to the thread Making my own RCA -> XLR cables.XLR Pin 1 is the shield, you may not want to connect it to the RCA shell/sleeve.

Star quad geometry is relevant for balanced connections, but not for unbalanced connections.

Speedskater replied to the thread 1 foot solid silver conductor interconnect vs. 0.5 foot Mogami W2964 interconnect.Yep, for the best RCA analog interconnects, use a coax cable with a heavy braided shield. Coax cables with a foil shield (and maybe a...

Shielded coax is also a preferred geometry for unbalanced, RCA terminated cables. Blue Jeans Cable explains why in their design notes...
