AudioQuest REDRIVER3MXLR 9.9 Feet 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

  • The cable uses Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors, which eliminate strand-interaction distortion. LGC copper provides smoother and clearer sound than regular Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity (OFHC) copper due to fewer oxides, impurities, and grain boundaries, resulting in better performance.
  • The cable features Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam insulation, which creates air pockets to maintain consistent conductor spacing. The stiff 'hard' foam keeps the cable's characteristic impedance stable along its length, ensuring reliable and high-quality signal transmission.
  • Yes, it incorporates a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) which prevents most radio frequency interference (RFI) from reaching your equipment's ground plane. This system helps produce clearer audio by minimizing noise and signal distortion.
  • The connectors are cold-welded gold-plated plugs, designed without solder to prevent distortion commonly caused by solder joints. The ground shells are stamped to choose metals that reduce distortion rather than focusing on machinability, offering a clean and reliable connection.
  • The cable is 9.9 feet (3 meters) long and features XLR connectors on both ends, providing balanced audio connections suitable for professional audio applications.
