What is the difference between a shielded and an unshielded speaker cable?

The difference between a Microphone (shielded) cable and a normal speaker cable is that, When we use a microphone we use a balanced or shielded cable (with the three pins, XLR or cannon), not a normal two wire speaker cable. We use this because the single coming from the microphone is at mic level, below LINE level (less than 1 volt). The shield on the mic cable is connected into the mixer or amp. The shield wire (RF, Radio frequency interference) single its 'waves' are then flipped (reverse phase) to cancel the interference out, any excess interference is then taken to the earth wire. With out a shielded cable you would hear annoying interference eg. The typical phone beep (please turn phone off). Speaker cable does not need a shield because the signal coming into the speaker is above MIC level and RF interference can't get in (it isn't loud enough) so there is no RF interference and no need for a shield. Hope that has been a help!

What is the difference between speaker cables and instrument cables?
Speaker cables may not necessarily need shielding if legnths are kept short. Istrument cables are shielded and kept to short stadardized lengths to prevent the introduction of noise which would affect the accuracy of the test reading.
How can speaker performance be improved?
Use speaker wire that is shielded better and has a lower resitance.
What's the difference between the Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Mobile Speaker II and an average portable speaker?
Most of the difference between the two products is the name and pricing, as reviews indicate there is either none or a slight difference between speaker products. A warranty is recommended with the purchase of either brand.
What is the difference between UTP and STP twisted pair cables?
* UTP for Unshielded Twisted Pair * STP for Shielded Twisted Pair * FTP for Foiled Twisted Pair * S/UTP for Screened Unshielded Twisted Pair * S/STP for Screened Shielded Twisted Pair * S/FTP for Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair* UTP cable has no shielding, only an insulation around the cables * STP cable has a metal shield around each twisted pair, all pairs together are in the cable covered by insulation * FTP cable has a metal shield around all pairs - "the cable"- together * S/UTP cable has a metal shield around all pairs - "the cable"- together(or would be the same as FTP) * S/STP cable has a metal shield around each twisted pair, and a metal shieldaround all pairs - "the cable"- together(or would be the same as S/FTP) * S/FTP cable has a metal shield around each twisted pair, and a metal shield around all pairs - "the cable"- together(or would be the same as S/STP) * UTP is unshielded, that's simple. * FTP and STP are ofted intermixed, sometimes S/UTP is also thrown in. In general it means the cable is shielded in one place. * S/FTP ans S/STP are of course often intermixed, both should get you a double shielded cable. * Unshielded twisted pair cable will do just fine if there are not too much electromagnic interferences (EMI), that's what the twisting is for. * Shielded cable will protect your signal better from interference. Though there are no guarantees of course, if the interference source is too strong it'll still influence things.Things like big electro motors (an elevator engine), powerfull speaker systems (festival rig), strong light installations (that same festival rig) or a nearby high-power cable are some examples of interference sources. * Evidently unshielded cable is typically more flexible then shielded cable. * I have no idea what the practical difference between FTP and STP cable would be, but it might have something to do with the flexibility rather then with the shielding effectiveness.
