You need to buy some balanced jack cables.

The RME is balanced as far as I know, so is the Big Nob.

Balanced jacks look like stereo jacks and you can buy balanced jack cables just about everywhere.

Check here for the definition of balanced audio.


In short: the extra connection is used to send an inversed signal on the cable, which is then used to cancel out any noise picked up on the way.
