AudioQuest Red River XLR Braid Audio Interconnect Cable - Pair

The AudioQuest Red River XLR Interconnect Cable is engineered to bring premium signal integrity to balanced audio chains. With triple-balanced geometry—including a dedicated ground-reference conductor—and solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors, it ensures that the positive and negative halves of the signal path remain symmetrical and low in distortion. This makes it ideal for connecting pro gear, high-end preamps, DACs, or power amplifiers using XLR I/O.

Solid PSC Conductors Minimize Distortion

Red River uses Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) as its conductor material, which helps reduce distortion associated with strand interactions and grain-boundary irregularities. Because the conductor is a single core rather than multi-stranded, internal interactions and micro-movements are eliminated, resulting in a cleaner, more stable signal path.

Triple-Balanced Geometry & Independent Ground

One of the standout features is its Triple-Balanced geometry, where signal conductors and a separate ground-reference conductor are employed. This ensures the shield is never used as a signal path, reducing common-mode distortions and improving grounding behavior.

Noise Management with Metal-Layer Shielding

To combat RF and electromagnetic interference, Red River includes a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). This system “shields the shield,” intercepting noise before it can reach the ground reference or signal lines. The result is lower background noise and improved clarity in complex installations.
