non-shielded balanced audio cable

What purpose does this serve to have a non shielded balanced audio cable?

How does having a screen compromise anything?

Less capacitance. Typically, for similar construction, a non-shielded cable has about 30-40% less capacitance, so the attenuation at 100kHz of a 300ft mic cable is about 2dB less. In practice, pure BS.

  Depending on the source impedance, I still don't want to hear the signal out of a 300ft of unshielded wire from a highish impedance source. Lower the capacitance with other techniques makes more sense, like insulation material or dimensions...

  In the other corner there were 4 conductor shielded balanced wires, so double twist, higher the interference immunity, a some hates them for their capacitance but you could run a mic line across your microwaves and have a nice signal at the other end. (if your CMRR is good up to 2.4GHz)
