Thanks Hugh, got it.

Hugh Robjohns wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 10:39 pm Starquad's famed superior interference rejection only applies to interference sources lying physically alongside the cable. So it's beneficial if you're running mic cables directly alongside lighting dimmer power cables, for example, but there's no advantage at all in more typical applications.
Moreover, the much higher capacitance compared to standard cables can become problematic on longer cable runs.
If you're concerned about RF interference then it would be better to invest in Neutrik's EMC XLR connectors and use a good quality cable, ideally with a double-Reussen screen.

The only interference I’m worried about is my partner shouting outside the piano room "are you recording?"

And we have a thread describing the Elf's adventures with an Arduino from a few weeks ago building something similar.
