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, ...

If you work in the professional audio field, you need to use balanced lines for long signal runs to prevent hum and noise pick-up. This Balanced/Unbalanced Converter is really two projects in one. It ...

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 ...
