The output signal doesn't have to be driven on both lines.  What helps 
is having the output signal relative to the other line.  It eliminates 
ground loop current from about an inch of wire on the PCB.  The ground 
current can instead flow entirely along non-signal ****eld wiring.

A Mackie and Xenyx mixer show logical schematics where the output stage 
tip is driven relative to the ring, which is grounded by a resistor to 
the ****eld.  I haven't traced the PCB to see how true that holds in the 
physical schematics.
