                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[...agin, pardon my ignorance but I'm keen to learn - why do you need TWO channels to carry the sound?

It's to remove noise.  The signal is sent down the two wires as the difference between the voltage on the two wires.  Most induced voltage noise will affect both wires equally.  This means that the difference between the voltage on the two wires will remain the same.  The third wire is the ground which wraps the two wires as a shield just like as is done for unbalanced wiring except that this shield ground is not also used as a signal ground.]]></content:encoded>

TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) is a single plug connector (like 1/4 inch or 1/8 inch, eg your headphone plug), while XLR has 3 pins, but they both essentialy have two channels and a virtual ground. The fact that it has this ground/neutral terminal is what makes them less noisy.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[When making connections between the mixer, power amp, headphone amp, computer, etc. I try to use XLR's when possible.  When not possible, I use TS 1/4" cords although most input/outputs are balanced and accommodate TRS and TS.  I've never used TRS cords, but have read that they reduce noise.  Is there any other advantage?]]></content:encoded>
