MOTM uses very large signals on the outputs: 10V pk-pk which is something like +24dBu Most "studio" gear uses +4 dBu which I think is like 1.5V pk-pk. Mics need balanced cables because their outputs are in *microvolts* to say 5mv (that's 0.005V). Since the 'driving' signal is so small, any hum or noise is *relatively significant*. Paul S.
