AudioQuest REDRIVER1MXLR 3.3 Ft. Red River XLR Interconnect Cables

Features

  • Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors
    Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Red River's solid Long-Grain Copper allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding "loss" without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance
  • Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam Insulation
    Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam insulation is used exclusively in most of AudioQuest's video and digital audio cables. Similar to Foamed-PE, it is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. 'Hard' foam is used because the stiffness of the material allows the conductors in the cable to maintain the same relationship with each other along the full length of the cable, thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the cable is consistent
  • Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS)
    100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System. Noise-Dissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment's ground plane
  • Triple-Balanced Geometry
    The three conductors in "Triple-Balanced" Red River cables ensure that whether prepared with RCA or XLR plugs, the positive and negative signals have equally low-distortion conducting paths. The 100% coverage shield is never used as an inferior conductor
  • Cold-Welded Gold-Plated Plugs
    This plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, which is a common source of distortion. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability

Frequently Asked Questions

  • This cable uses Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors, which provide smoother and clearer sound compared to regular Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity (OFHC) copper. LGC features fewer oxides, lower impurities, and fewer grain boundaries, resulting in better overall performance and reduced distortion.
  • The cable features Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam insulation that creates air pockets to maintain consistent spacing between conductors. This stiff foam insulation ensures the cable's characteristic impedance remains stable over its entire length, preserving signal integrity and minimizing distortion.
  • The Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) provides 100% shielding coverage, significantly reducing radio frequency interference (RFI). It prevents RFI from modulating the equipment's ground reference, ensuring a cleaner audio signal with less noise.
  • The connectors use cold-welded gold-plated plugs, eliminating the need for solder which can introduce distortion. Additionally, ground shells are stamped instead of machined, allowing the use of metal optimized for low distortion, improving overall signal clarity.
  • Triple-balanced geometry means the cable contains three conductors that offer equally low-distortion paths for positive and negative signals. The design ensures that the shield is not used as a conductor, providing balanced and noise-free audio transmission.
