Vovox makes their cables in both shielded and unshielded versions. This is what they say about choosing one over the other:
"How does one choose between shielded or non-shielded cables?
Many VOVOX® sound conductors are available in a non-shielded 'direct' version and in a shielded 'protect' version. The shielding prevents humming and buzzing sounds, but causes a small loss of sound quality.
There are situations in which it's mandatory to use shielded cables. On the other hand, especially with balanced cables, there are very few cases in which sound disturbances are observed, even without shielding. 'Direct' sound conductors can offer even better results in these cases.
Generally speaking, we suggest using 'protect' sound conductors for applications in which interference would otherwise cause problems (listed below). In all other cases, the non-shielded 'direct' versions should be favored.
* when interference will necessarily lead to an uncontrollable situation, e.g. for live concerts or live recordings
* in the case of unbalanced cables longer than 1.5 m (5 ft)
* for phono record players
* for amplified music instruments with pick-ups"
