asymmetric

An unbalanced cable routing is when a wire (internally) for the signal routing and the shield braid is at the same time shielding and ground (the reference potential) for the signal in an (audio) cable. This type of cable routing is usually used for instruments as well as for pre-amplified signals (typically e.g. RCA cable). However, this form of signal routing is much more sensitive to interference and interference from the outside than with symmetrical signal routing.
