AudioQuest Red River XLR Balanced Analog Interconnect Cable (Pair)

The AudioQuest Red River XLR is a balanced analog interconnect designed to deliver clean, low-noise signal transfer between source components and amplifiers. It uses solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors to reduce distortion caused by strand interaction, helping preserve detail and tonal accuracy. A triple-balanced geometry lowers impedance and improves noise rejection, making it well suited for longer cable runs and fully balanced audio systems. Red River also incorporates AudioQuest’s metal-layer noise-dissipation system to reduce RF interference before it reaches your components. Cold-welded, gold-plated XLR connectors provide a secure connection without introducing solder-related distortion. The result is a natural, controlled presentation that suits both two-channel and home audio systems.

Key Features

  • Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors reduce distortion and grain
  • Triple-balanced XLR geometry for improved noise rejection
  • Metal-layer noise-dissipation system helps reduce RF interference
  • Cold-welded, gold-plated XLR connectors for a clean signal path
  • Direction-controlled conductors for consistent performance
  • Durable PVC jacket for flexibility and long-term reliability

Why Buy

If your equipment supports balanced connections, Red River XLR offers a noticeable step up in signal integrity without unnecessary complexity. It focuses on conductor quality, noise control, and solid terminations to keep your system sounding accurate and consistent.

  • Cleaner signal path: Solid-core copper and cold-welded connectors help preserve detail.
  • Lower noise: Balanced design and RF noise dissipation reduce interference.
  • System-friendly: Ideal for balanced DACs, preamps, and power amplifiers.
