AudioQuest Red River Interconnect Cable
The AudioQuest Red River interconnect cable offers a remarkable confluence of exceptional design and premium materials. It features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors, which provide an astonishingly smooth and pure surface for low-distortion signal transfer. The cable is insulated with Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam, ensuring consistent characteristic impedance along its entire length. A Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System effectively prevents captured RF interference from modulating the equipment's ground reference. Its Triple-Balanced Geometry ensures low-distortion paths for both positive and negative signals, while the 100% coverage shield is never used as a conductor. The plugs are cold-welded and gold-plated, eliminating solder distortion for a cleaner connection.
