Hello.

I don't mean to bring up an elementary topic, but can someone go into an explanation of Balanced vs Unbalanced inputs/cables and what the difference is? For example, I am going to try to patch my 24 channel mixer to a bay but I am not sure what cables to use and if it will make a difference at all.

I appreciate everyone's comments.

Thanks,
Michael

Let's say I have a mixer w/ unbalanced i/o and another piece of gear w/ balanced i/o and they're both connected in both ways ins and outs. Is there any way to transform the unbalanced signal into balanced? If yes, how should it be done and pricewise does it worth to be done in many channels?
