This is some of the worst cable I've seen. If you are after quasi balanced, this is not it. extremely poor workmanship. internally conductors nearly touching each other. 1/8" jack end not crimped, just holding on solder. Poor quallity mini jack connector. I have thrown out the cable and just using the connectors. Resoldered myself. SHould have known better considering the price. This is NOT a pro cable. It is at best a home movie night grade cable.
