Most professional audio components require signals that are transmitted over balanced connections using differential mode signaling to cancel out induced noise for crystal-clear audio. Differential mode signaling requires each wire to carry signals in opposite polarity to each other. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) will induce an equal noise voltage in each wire and the amplifier measuring the difference in voltage between the two signals will reject the noise that is identical on both wires.

Tributaries Series 6 Mark II Balanced Audio Cable (XLR)
Crafted for discerning audiophiles, the Tributaries Series 6 Mark II Balanced Audio Cable is a premium solution for superior signal fidelity and noise rejection. Hand-assembled in Orlando, Florida, each cable features dual-gauge high-conductivity oxygen-free copper (HC-OFC) conductors precisely engineered to support the full audio spectrum — from rich bass to detailed highs. The individually insulated conductors eliminate strand interaction, while the precision-twisted balanced design with dual shielding ensures a quiet, interference-free signal path. With solid-brass, gold-plated XLR connectors and forward-grounding pin design, signal integrity is preserved even during connection — making these cables both neutral in sound and built for long-term performance.
