Long run XLR cables

OP:

In any event I’m glad you got your question answered. :) I use XLR cables where I can, just not sure that in my case 2’ long matters. I would ONLY run XLR’s at 25’ long though.

There's NO doubt that XLR's have superior noise performance, at all.  At 2'-3' long though most listeners won't hear a difference.  Those that are right near a radio station may feel  otherwise!

Enjoy!

OP:

Glad to hear it. I’d be curious to know if his results were more than just about common mode noise reduction. This is proven to be better with differential lines, but not sure how often it matters in short runs at home where EMI/RFI pickup is already pretty low.

OP: 

Based on the owners manual, page 6, it looks like this is a truly balanced input.  You will be OK.  :)

Best,

Johnny,

The issue is on both ends though, and usually it's the amps that don't support it.  Usually, just ask if they use "truly differential" XLR connections.  That will often be enough.
