Not all XLR cables are actually balanced. Some interconnects terminated with XLR connectors only have two conductors, in which a truly balanced interconnect needs three conductors. Say you have a twisted pair interconnect terminated with RCA's...if you wanted to make that cable balanced you would need to add a third conductor.

All for the love of music :-)
