Balanced Inputs

Thanks. I was leaning that way.

What @cleeds said. ✔

unbalanced interconnects may pick up noise (such as RFI) in your environment with long runs. 

Balanced interconnects are mostly immune to this, but rule of thumb is to keep cables short if possible. Only need to be as long as required.

Tiny amounts of gain can be lost with very long interconnects. So do keep that in mind.

Yes, there’s a distinction.

Are these “true “ balanced circuits/signal paths, or just XLR connectors for convenience?
