Two major categories of noise affect all audio cables: electrical interference and microphonics. Unbalanced single
core audio cables are much more sensitive to electrical interference than balanced cables which, because of their
twisted pair configuration, have the ability to mutually cancel EMI.
Microphonic noise is caused by a static charge generated when the conductor is rubbed against its insulation. This
occurs to some degree whenever the cable is moved. The microphonic effect is evident by a clicking noise in the
system, usually occurring when the cable is handled or moved. Gotham GAC-1 unbalanced cable has been
engineered to minimize these effects.
