You'd be surprised. Some time ago I made up 100v line XLR cables using
ordinary mains 2 core flex. Cheaper than screened cable. And found one in
use with a dynamic hand mic - because it was a nice shiny white, rather
than the more usual mic cable grey or black. And apparently worked just
fine. In other words it's the balancing that gives the majority of the
rejection of spurious stuff.



Indeed it is .. we once used around three miles of phone cable overhead
and underground for an RSL and apart from a bit of "top" loss its was
very quiet indeed..
