In Reply to: What are balanced outputs posted by Troutbum on November 12, 2006 at 11:18:41:
HowdyUnbalanced interconnects/outputs/inputs (most often) use standard RCA plugs with two connections (and two wires in the cables), but one of them is also used as a ground.
Balanced connections use the XLR connector which has two signal wires and a separate ground.
In an ideal world having a completely balanced system (from source to amps and all cables connecting them) will allow for more noise immunity (even with longer interconnects.)
In practice it depends on the components and needless conversions from balanced to unbalanced and/or the reverse can cause more problems than balanced solves. It almost always pays to try the system out each way if you have the option.
A Google search will have lots of info: http://www.google.com/search?q=balanced+unbalanced+audio
