Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Hmmmm....I don't know, honestly. I'm using the same cables (1/4") 
that I use to plug a guitar into an amp, or my mic preamp into the 
AW16G. I mostly only hook up the mono (right) output of the XL-7 
into the AW16G. But like I said - if I unplug the cable from the 
mono output and plug it into the headphone jack - the sound is 
unchanging and crystal clear. That's what makes me think it's not 
the cables, but the outputs. What's the difference between balanced 
and unbalanced cables? I don't even know which kind I have.
