AudioQuest Red River XLR > XLR

Connect audio source components to amplifiers and receivers with this AudioQuest Red River RCA analog-audio cable, meticulously designed for exceptional performance and outstanding value. Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors minimize distortion, Foamed-Polyethylene insulation preserves dynamic contrasts, and a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation efficiently dissipates high-frequency noise. The result is cleaner, clearer, more naturally beautiful music.

Core Technical Features

The Red River uses several of AudioQuest’s signature technologies to reduce distortion and noise.

• Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC): Unlike cheaper cables that use stranded wire (which can cause "strand interaction" distortion), Red River uses solid conductors. The PSC metal has an exceptionally smooth surface to prevent the harshness often found in lesser copper.
• Triple-Balanced Geometry: This means the cable has three dedicated conductors—one for the positive signal, one for the negative, and one for the ground. This ensures the shield is never used as a signal conductor, resulting in a much quieter background.
• Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS): It uses a specialized shield to prevent Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from reaching the equipment's ground plane, which helps preserve fine musical detail.
• Cold-Welded Gold-Plated Plugs: Instead of using solder (which can introduce distortion), the connectors are attached using a high-pressure "cold-weld" process.
