Specialty Definition: Balanced audio connector

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Balanced connections are extremely important in audio recording and production because they allow for the use of very long cables without the introduction of outside noise. The most common balanced connector is the 3-pin XLR, which is used with microphones because of its durable construction. Many microphones have low impedance (Z), which makes long microphone cables susceptible to some forms of outside noise, and a perfect application for a balanced line, which cancels out this outside noise.

A balanced audio connection has three wires. Two of these are used for the signal, and the third is a ground and is used to shield the other two. The signal is the difference between the two signal lines. Much of the noise induced in the cable is induced equally in both signal lines, so this noise can be easily rejected by using a differential amplifier or a balun at the input.

If the power amplifiers of a public address system are located at any distance from the mixing desk, it is also normal to use balanced lines for the signal paths from the mixer to these amplifiers. Many other components, such as graphic equalisers and effects units, have balanced inputs and outputs to allow this. In recording and for short cable runs in general, a compromise is necessary between the noise reduction given by balanced lines and the noise and distortion introduced by the extra circuitry they require.

While XLR connections are the most common balanced connector, 1/4" TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve) connectors are also commonly used.

Balanced line

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In telecommunication, a balanced line is a transmission line consisting of two conductors in the presence of ground, capable of being operated in such a way that when the voltages of the two conductors at all transverse planes are equal in magnitude and opposite in polarity with respect to ground, the currents in the two conductors are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

See also balanced audio connector.

Note: A balanced line may be operated in an unbalanced condition. Synonym balanced signal pair.

Equilibrium

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Equilibrium or balance is any of a number of related concepts in the sciences and social sciences. In general, a system is said to be in a state of equilibrium if all influences on the system are cancelled by the effects of others. A related concept is stability; an equilibrium may or may not be stable.

Some specific examples are:

An addiction is any of various forms of unbalanced behavior.

In electricity, a balanced signal is also called a differential signal.
