Features & Specs
Premium PSC Solid Copper Conductors:
Perfect-Surface Copper ensures the smoothest surface possible, drastically reducing grain boundaries and resulting in clearer, more natural audio with minimal distortion.
Direction-Controlled Conductors:
Each cable is tuned to manage signal flow and reduce RF interference through conductor directionality, ensuring noise is properly dissipated for pure sound quality.
Advanced Noise-Dissipation Technology:
The Metal-Layer shielding design effectively blocks radio-frequency interference from corrupting your system's ground reference, preserving signal integrity.
Triple-Balanced Geometry:
Separate signal and ground pathways create balanced signal flow across all three conductors, maintaining fidelity and reducing signal degradation.
Cold-Welded, Gold-Plated Terminations:
Solder-free connections ensure the cleanest transmission path while gold plating enhances conductivity and resists corrosion over time.
Stylish & Sturdy Design:
Finished in a tough red-on-black nylon braid, the cables are not only durable and tangle-resistant but also add a polished look to your setup.

Sold As: Pair
AudioQuest Red River XLR Q&A:
Q: Are these cables compatible with all XLR equipment?
A: Yes, the Red River XLR cables are fully compatible with any audio component featuring XLR inputs and outputs, including AV receivers, amplifiers, and DACs.
Q: What makes Perfect-Surface Copper better than regular copper?
A: PSC has a smoother, purer surface that reduces distortion caused by grain boundaries, resulting in significantly clearer and more natural sound.
Q: What is the benefit of triple-balanced geometry?
A: This design ensures that both positive and negative signal paths are equally low in distortion and that the ground does not interfere with the signal path, enhancing audio fidelity.
Q: How does Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation work?
A: It “shields the shield” by absorbing and reflecting RF noise before it reaches the signal-carrying ground layer, preventing distortion.
Q: Are these cables directional? How can I tell?
A: Yes, they are directional. Arrows on the connectors indicate the signal flow direction for optimal noise dissipation and audio performance.
Q: Are the connectors durable for frequent plugging/unplugging?
A: Yes, the cold-welded, gold-plated connectors are designed to be both robust and reliable for long-term use.
Q: Do these cables come as a pair?
A: Yes, they are sold as a matched pair for stereo (left/right) audio connections.
