Both legs carry the same signal but in opposite polarity to each other.
Balanced line cable length.
However this did not become widespread until repeater amplifiers became available.
That said when the cord length is under 10 feet unbalanced cables actually have a stronger signal than balanced cables.
High levels speaker cable are rarely balanced.
As a general rule this effect is only noticeable with cables beyond 20 feet in length.
4 what levels are you transmitting.
Open wires on the other hand with their lower capacitance had been used for.
But what makes a balanced cable special is the way the gear utilizes that.
With balanced cables you don t get the same distortions so they can be much longer without any detriment to your sound quality.
For an unamplified telephone line a twisted pair cable could only manage a maximum distance of 30 km.
A balanced electrical signal runs along three wires.
As in the unbalanced cable the ground wire still surrounds the signal wires and is used as a shield against interference.

Any noise picked up along the cable run will typically be common to both legs.
Two signals wires plus a separate ground wire.
Very low levels mic phono are much more susceptible to interference than line levels.
