It was all about the wiring between the stage and the mixer. It's not a=20
snake in the common sense of the word; there is dedicated wiring inside=20
the building. The inputs appear at stage boxes in the floor. I could=20
also have used direct boxes (probably a better solution in retrospect.)=20
But there are only 4 mic inputs in a stage box, and I wanted to use one=20
for a monitor send. It was just a choice with unforeseen consequences. I=20
should have tried the whole rig together beforehand.

I'm confused about your comment about mixing them together. I ran them=20
into separate channels at the mixer end.....I just used the balanced=20
microphone cables as two channels with a common ground. I am at a loss=20
to figure out why impedance would have any affect on that. Unless the=20
low side line inputs at the mixer are not actually common. Which I find=20
hard to believe.
