This would normally be considered a microphone cable. I have to say
though that when I had to rewire a TV control room in Qatar, with the
slight requirement that I wasn't allowed to put it off the air, or
lose sound for longer than five seconds, I did all the line level
wiring in balanced screened twin. But that was in a very noisy
electrical environment. I can't see it doing much domestically.


Line-level audio in a TV control room would be balanced as a matter of
course, so you wouldn't have had any option *but* to use balanced twin
screened cable.

You'd have thought. All the equipment was balanced, but all the cable
was coax. It was causing unbelievable problems. Some cowboy obviously
had a van load of the stuff when he wired the place up.

Cowboy is the word!, no wonder you need to re-wire the place :-)
