  1.   XLR vs RCA: Difference is in  the Use    W​hen it comes to wiring for anything, the specifics depend on the                         devices involved and the overall requirement. Audio cabling, in                   particular, has two basic analog cables, XLR cable, and RCA cable.                       These are largely for very different scenarios.        The connector on the XLR cable has three pins, whereas the one                         on the RCA cable only has one. XLR passes balanced audio whereas                         RCA passes unbalanced audio. This is also where the use case                       bifurcates. XLR connector also has a latch on it to lock the                         connection in place. RCA has no such clasp.    Let’s take a look:      1​​

  2. Home Theatre Setup    For a home theatre setup, you need a decent or high-end TV for                           display, preferably one that has an OLED or QLED panel. But the                         display is not the only important part of the setup. These TVs                         generally don’t have the best audio output for optimal movie                     watching. For surround sound, you can connect up to eight audio                       channels via ​RCA cables​. This can make your movie-watching experience more enjoyable, with the sound of every soft footfall in                                         a horror movie and all the notes in a musical.    Audio Editing    If you want to edit audio, you want to be able to listen to it in                                 stereo. Headphones that have RCA connectors are capable of                   handling stereo output. You will need a computer that has the left                         and right stereo channel RCA ports. If you are able to hear with                           accuracy, you will be able to make the edits accordingly.    Recording Studio    Here, you need balanced audio. The sound mixer has audio coming                       in from the microphone via an XLR cable. This produces                     2​

  3. significantly less noise in the audio transfer, thus giving purer,                     high-quality output. This recording can go for mass-market                 consumption through various mediums like music streaming               services, CDs, vinyl records, etc.    Podcasting Studio      Podcasts have become an extremely popular way of creating                   content. It is so huge that there are now multiple dedicated                       podcast apps and big streaming platforms are putting them at the                       center of their revenue stream. While anyone can have a podcast,                       provided   they   have   enough content, you do need decent             equipment for it. Since it is a conversation or monologue based                       3​

  4. format that is just audio, you want superior-quality noiseless                   audio. For this, you should use XLR cabled microphones. This will                       give you top-notch audio, which you can then edit. As it already                         has less interference, you will not need to put too much effort into                           editing.    Live Performance    When it comes to any kind of live performance, whether it is a                           concert, a stand-up comedy show, a karaoke bar, or a quiet poetry                         reading, the audio needs to be clear, crisp and have no                       interference. Therefore, it needs ​XLR cables in connection with high-quality speakers. In a live performance of this sort, the                                       speaker or singer’s utterances are of utmost importance to deliver                     the best experience and effect of the content.    Such differences in use cases are what really matter when it comes                         to the XLR cable and RCA cable. The technical differences are in                         their physical structuring, but to the average user, it all comes                       down to where to use what cable.    4​
