Balanced signals require a two-conductor-plus-shield (if needed) 
cable.  TRS cables provide that, or they can be used for unbalanced 
two-signal(like stereo) connections.

Jason is correct, too.  The device has balanced or unbalanced ins 
and/or outs.  TRS cables for audio are *usually* two-conductor-plus-
shield, but it's best to check the manufacturer specs.
