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.
