About the Red River
The AudioQuest Red River XLR Interconnect Cable is designed for audiophiles and high-fidelity audio systems, offering exceptional sound quality through advanced materials and construction. It features solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors that minimize distortion by maintaining a smooth, pure copper surface. The cable uses a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System to prevent radio frequency interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference, ensuring a clean and transparent audio signal. Its Triple-Balanced Geometry includes a separate ground-reference conductor, so the cable shield is never used as a conductor, reducing distortion further. The cable is insulated with stiff Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam to maintain consistent impedance and conductor positioning. Terminations are cold-welded, gold-plated XLR connectors that avoid solder-related signal loss and provide durable, reliable connections. The cable has a stylish black and red braided jacket and is available in various lengths, including 1 meter (3.3 feet). It is ideal for connecting XLR-equipped AV receivers, amplifiers, and audio sources, delivering a wide soundstage, precise tonal accuracy, and enhanced dynamics for both home audio and theater systems.
