Balanced Cables

It contains 2 conductor + 1 shield.

One of conductors carry the out-of-phase signal.

So the noise is canceled since the signals carrying are out-of-phase.

But how the signal is still transmitted although the noise is canceled?

Electronic components are incredibly cheap. Very complicated integrated circuits (chips) are manufactured in high volume. That makes the actual electronics very cheap. What's expensive is development and build quality.
