Effectively, this means only 2 separate cables. Furthermore, phono/RCA wiring just has 2 separate poles with 1 wire for each.

For example, looking at Mix Left/Right - each of these has 3 wires - 2 for the audio signals and one for ground. Crucially, the ground wire is separate from the other wires - so that indicates the overall wiring is balanced. Contrast this with Monitor L/R where one of the wires is linked to ground - which indicates unbalanced. This diagram helps explain balanced by using both the physical wiring and the schematics - which can be cross referenced with the above page on the folio manual - rane.com/note151.html

Aug 1, 2019 at 19:29	comment	added	therobyouknow		Thank you @Hobbes - I'd like to believe you that they are balanced, however Tetsujin believes not - can you comment on Tetsujin's answer, please to advise if you agree with them or not. I have 2 answers so far, 1 from you and 1 from Tetsujin which seem to conflict. Thank you
