[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 122770, member: 162"] Re: Long XLR run If you are directly driving a long line, you definitely want at least an impedance-balanced output driving a full balanced input to get the common-mode noise cancellation. You could theoretically use the iso transformer to balance an unbalanced signal, but then the iso transformer needs to be at the source end of the run, and not at the remote end, so you lose out on some of the benefit of the grounded shielding, as Milt mentioned. The good news is I can't think of a mixer released in the last 10+ years that has unbalanced auxes - even the cheapies are at least impedance balanced. [/QUOTE]
