In addition to the conduc‐ tors ‘Ground’ and ‘Signal’, in a balanced transmission a second core is added. This also transfers the signal, but phase-shifted by 180°. TA 450 MK-X TA 600 MK-X TA 1050 MK-X TA 1400 MK-X TA 2400 MK-X...

Plug and connection assignment Since the interference affects both cores equally, by subtracting the phase-shifted signals, the interfering signal is completely neutralized. The result is a pure signal without any noise inter‐ ference. 1/4" TS phone plug (mono, unbalanced) Signal Ground, shielding 1/4"...
