Seems elegant to me an unbalanced stereo pair using 5 pin XLR. One plug
instead of two keeping separate screens for each channel avoiding
crosstalk If that is still a worry then figure of eight cable containing
each channel could be employed.

But with unbalanced, the screen connections will be paralleled at both the
source and destination anyway, surely? So I'm not quite clear how keeping
them separate for the cable run only would make any difference?

Plenty used DIN connectors that had one cable carrying stereo in and out
to a tape etc, with only one overall screen, and crosstalk wasn't a
problem assuming matched levels and ordinary runs.

Sorry it was badly worded, I meant keeping the L & R channels apart to
reduce possibility of crosstalk and the advantage (?) of keeping L & R
signal screens separate instead of being a common ground. I've never had a
problem with DIN either using ordinary runs either - but I've never tried
runs over 2M.

Well, with an unbalanced system the only way to do this would be with
separate power supplies for each channel too - which of course some do.

runs over 2M.

Assuming low impedance out, it should go further than this ok.
