[QUOTE="David Morison, post: 215279, member: 2076"] That aliexpress cable is not balanced because each XLR is only fed by a cable with one centre conductor and the shield. How are you planning on getting the audio out of the laptop? If it's from the headphone socket, that will not be balanced anyway, so the unbalanced cable from aliexpress will work, as long as you're not in an environment with enough electrical noise to need balanced. If you do need balanced, than a USB audio adapter will likely be needed, cheap ones are 40-odd quid/bucks/euros, then just use regular XLR-XLR cables from the interface out to the speakers. [/QUOTE]
