The positive and negative ground wires of the XLR cable are metal strips, and the stability conductivity is superior to that of the RCA cable, because its positive and negative ground wires are independent, and the signal is more favorable to counteract the interference, so it is said that commercial will only use XLR cable. There are some devices are balanced connectors, but not balanced circuit design, in this case, the XLR cable will not have much advantage. XLR wire resistance is smaller, more anti-interference ability, there will be burners say, XLR wire more dynamic, soundstage is wider, suitable for large dynamics, tone separation positioning of the music, Lotus line is more soft, listen to small instruments will be more resistant to listen, this is not absolute, have to look at the actual combat.

XLR cables are balanced, Lotus cables are unbalanced. Balanced wires transmit far less noise than unbalanced, so a XLR cable is much cleaner and has better sound quality than a Lotus cable.

Unbalanced signals use 2 wires: a signal wire and a ground wire.

However, the ground wire itself acts as an antenna, picking up unwanted noise from the environment along the way as the signal travels through the wire. This is one of the reasons why there is some noise floor with Lotus cables.

Because unbalanced cables can pick up noise along the way as the signal travels, they are best used over short distances. For example, use shorter lotus cables so that unwanted noise is minimized.

Some Lotus cables like the Doktor's will be wrapped in aluminum foil and copper shielding mesh, using double shielding to achieve noise reduction in the cable.
