Many people don’t know that you can send audio, real professional balanced-line audio, down category cables. In fact, not only is this possible, but those pairs make the greatest audio cable ever!
How can this be true? It’s really quite simple. In standard shielded twisted pairs, most of the noise rejection comes from the fact that the pair is twisted. Rejection of noise by the twisted pair is called CMRR, Common Mode Rejection Ratio. And, since the pairs in category cable are extremely precise, they have the best CMRR ever.
So why is there a shield on audio cable? Well, a foil shield is for RF protection. Foil shields don’t begin to be effective until 10 MHz or so. Braid shields go down to 1,000 Hz. Below 1,000 Hz, there is NO shield that has any more
