Balanced Cables

(1/2) > >>

admkrk:
I need to build a couple new sets of cables and I cannot remember, or find a definitive answer on, if both sides of the ground should be tied to the shield or if one side should be lifted. If I take apart my old cables to look, I might not get them back together and I would rather not sacrifice working cables to find out. I am thinking I floated the mic end, but who knows?

dgodwin:
When I make mic cables I connect both ends to the shield.

in order for signal to remain balanced so that the receiving equipment can reject it, it should be wired straight through
