Totally different ball game, my friend.

Hi.

Recording studios run long long mic cable to the mixer consoles, all in 3-wire balanced transmission (typically 600R) format.

Any dip/hump of the audio frequency spectrum due to the long line transmission are compensated with the frequency equalizer & noise filter/limiters built in the console. There is sophiscated signal processing for the signal to go through before being recorded onto the master tape.

But in home audio, our ICs are mostly unbalanced signal transfer
& go straight to the amps. The only passive or 'helpless' way to for us consumers to handle the signal loss situation is to cut short all the signal paths. Any other way is only a compromise.
