Audioquest Red River RCA/XLR Interconnection Cable

Solid conductors prevent the electrical and magnetic interaction between strands, which is a primary source of distortion in cables. The PSC+ copper has an ultra-smooth surface that minimizes grain boundaries, resulting in a cleaner, more detailed sound.

AudioQuest cables are direction-controlled to optimize RF impedance. For the best performance, ensure the arrows on the cable jacket point from the source component toward the receiving component, such as from a DAC to an amplifier.

This design uses separate conductors for the positive and negative signals, while a dedicated shield handles the ground. By isolating the ground path, the cable significantly reduces noise and interference for a quieter, more transparent signal.

At 1.64 feet, this cable is intended for short, high-fidelity connections between components located close to one another. It is ideal for stacking equipment or connecting a preamp to a power amp in the same rack.

This shielding system prevents radio-frequency interference from reaching your audio signal. It effectively absorbs and dissipates high-frequency noise before it can contaminate the delicate audio path, ensuring a cleaner background.

The choice between PVC and Nylon Braid is primarily aesthetic and related to cable flexibility. Both options offer the same internal conductor technology and performance, so you can choose the one that better matches your system's look or your preference for cable stiffness.
