Granted. (Pardon my "layman's" explanation.) But still, if the XLR is wired wrong, the benefits of common mode rejection are lost. If the balanced receiver sees only one-half of the balanced signal (the other half is either floating or tied to the receiver's ground) or if the shield is carrying one-half of the balanced signal (the shield will pick up interference differently than a standard conductor), the balanced receiver will not be able to reject the interference.The balanced receiver will still reject any common-mode noise. But yeah, if the two halves of the cable don't have the same impedance with respect to ground, then there will be some mode conversion going on and the receiver will just pass it on.
