And watch the level and the impedance - I've
helped to fix several situations that had
excessive crosstalk on adjacent pairs,
and each time it's been one of two causes:
1) a too-high audio level on the pair that was
the source of the problem. Solution: No more
then zero dbm on any pair...
2) the pair that was receiving the problem
was a high impedance load or an unbalanced
load (i.e. one side grounded). Use an ungrounded
600 ohm winding from a transformer on each
end of each pair.

Don't forget, CAT cables have different twist rates for each pair to
minimize crosstalk between them. If one pair doesn't work, try another.

A friend of mine full-time broadcast engineering told me he can
detect zero crosstalk between pairs within the same CAT 5 cable at
line level. As you suspect, balance is very important.
