The Ideal Cable for Your Signal “Flow”
These AudioQuest Red River XLR analog audio interconnect cables are just what you need to improve your audio system’s various flows, streams, and channels! Named in honor of the USA’s two Red Rivers, this cable’s solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors are made from AudioQuest’s finest copper and provide clearer sound than standard oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors, in addition to being direction-controlled to reduce radio frequency interference (RFI). Next, the hard-cell foamed (HCF) polyethylene insulation stores less energy than typical wire insulation, minimizing distortion, and the gold-plated terminations are created using a high-pressure technique instead of conventional soldering, which further minimizes distortion. The Red River cable’s triple-balanced geometry uses a separate ground-reference conductor, so the shield is never utilized as a subpar conductor. Finally, AudioQuest’s metal-layer Noise Dissipation shield system absorbs and drains RFI before it reaches the ground signal.
Smooth copper for smooth performance
The solid PSC+ conductors are made from AudioQuest’s finest copper material, which is kept as pure, soft, and smooth as possible to prevent distortion from creeping in due to the electrical/magnetic interaction between different strands. Plus, the Red River cable’s conductors control the direction of radio frequency noise. Sweetwater’s verdict: it all adds up to higher-quality audio.
HCF polyethylene insulation with high air content
Solid material adjacent to a conductor is part of an imperfect circuit because it absorbs energy; some of which gets stored and eventually released as distortion. The AudioQuest Red River’s HCF polyethylene insulation has a high air content, which doesn’t absorb energy and hence doesn’t introduce additional distortion into your audio signal.
Lack of solder equals lack of noise
Another common source of distortion in an audio signal is the solder joint. The AudioQuest Red River cable avoids this problem by avoiding soldering altogether! Instead, its gold-plated terminations are created by a high-pressure stamping technique.
A triple threat
The Red River’s triple-balanced geometry uses a separate ground-reference conductor, so the shield is never utilized as a subpar conductor. These three conductors guarantee that your positive and negative signals have minimal distortion. Additionally, AudioQuest’s metal-layer Noise Dissipation shield system absorbs and reflects most RFI before it reaches the ground layer.
Reap some Red River redemption
The AudioQuest Red River cable is named after the two Red Rivers of the United States. Red River North is in North Dakota and Minnesota, whereas Red River South can be found along the border of Texas and Oklahoma. Both areas have incredibly rich histories, and AudioQuest recognizes them with its fantastic Red River series of cables.
