Consumer vs Pro Source evices udio wiring he main difference between consumer and pro gear is that the pro device has balanced signal wiring (2 signal wires plus shield for both left and right) which makes the pro device less susceptible to hum and noise than the consumer device. Balanced wiring becomes very important if the audio cable is more than a few feet long (~6 feet). Most Consumer grade sources use C phono plugs while most balanced Professional grade sources use X connectors. nbalanced C phono plugs Balanced X connectors udio evels o further reduce noise interference, Pro sources use a higher signal level (+4dBu) than Consumer sources (-10dBu). his requires level matching if consumer and pro sources are mixed in a studio. Control ogic Professional audio sources typically will have a logic interface so that playback can be started and stopped from the console channel n-off button. his logic cable and connector is typically different for every audio source and must be custom made by an experienced technician. he C-10 console has a logic signal for each channel that allows a custom interface to be made to start and stop pro audio sources.
