connected to an amplifier (leading to the receiver or monitor) may present a capacitive and/or an inductive load to the amplifier. This is the main cause for instability. The non-ideal behavior of a load or cable may severely degrade the performance of the amplifier - it’s bandwidth, linearity, and stability - and in general it’s ability to faithfully reproduce the signal. -
