Yes, that impedance matching will make sure that the disturbances
entering in the cable will be compensated. However, in this way, the
noise originating from the phantom power will only be present on pin
Message: 2. 
Subject: Pin 3 would be absolutely silent, regardless of the phantom power
noise. This imbalance could be fixed for instance by adding a second
dummy output stage that is similiar to the active output stage.

I don't meant internal oscillations. The problem could just be the
noise that originates from the recorder's phantom power supply circuit.
