Sound cards with balanced XLR output

Balanced XLR

— a characteristic round connector of rather large dimensions with three pins, which in this case plays the role of an analogue audio output. A balanced connection is a special connection method that allows you to use the cable itself as a noise suppressor. This is very convenient for professional use, because. allows you to work with fairly long wires without degrading sound quality. For added security, the XLR plug is secured with a lock, a standard feature on all these outputs. On the other hand, connectors of this type are large and work in the “1 channel per connector” format (that is, two outputs are needed for stereo sound). As a result, the main area of application for XLR is professional-grade sound cards.
