Apparently star-quad does really well is in "live sound" applications
(like sound for film or video) where you have mic cables in the
presence of high EMI (phase control lighting dimmers running thousands
of watts of lighting or whatever.) As in - it is pretty good at
rejecting this type of noise. As such, it makes sense that the cable
would also be quiet in less demanding environments. However, this
really only applies for balanced interconnect. So as Elhard suggests
- for the unbalanced signals on a modular synth, overkill! It is very
nice cable though :)
