In discussing the characteristics and performance of various interconnect systems; two points should be kept in mind. Balance is defined in terms of the impedance of the two signal conductors with ...

Balun transformers remain indispensable in RF and high-frequency design, serving as the quiet interface between balanced transmission lines and unbalanced circuits. By enabling impedance matching, ...

Our recent contribution to the Workbench column in Radio World about our home-brew construction of an XLR-3 cable tester produced a notable, positive reader reaction. It seems almost all of us in the ...

XLR is three pronged and eliminates some of the buzzing of RCA, that's all I know, although I'm interested in the topic.
