Microphone wiring

I need to hook up some mics in several rooms from a VR application. Thinking ahead when I moved in, or so I thought, I wired each room with cat5e, rg6 quad shielded, and 4 conductor

14 gauge unshielded to a central panel (star configuration).

So it would seem I don't have the correct wiring for mics, yes? Especially since I need to minimize noise.

My questions:

- Is there a way to use any of the wiring I already have? Baluns, etc?

- If I need to run more wire, what kind should it be and how should it be hooked up (drain wire? etc)

I'm at the limit of my knowledge here because I don't have much of an understanding of the issues. Noise, balanced vs unbalanced signal, etc.

Thanks in advance.
