AudioQuest Dragon XLR Interconnect Cable
The result of everything AudioQuest has learned in its 44-year history of designing and refining high-performance cables, Dragon XLR is perfectly at home in the world's most sophisticated stereo systems and home theaters. As AudioQuest's flagship analog interconnect, Dragon combines ZERO-Tech geometry, FEP Air-Tube insulation, Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) conductors, Silver-Plated RF-Draining Barrels, and AudioQuest's Level-7 Noise-Dissipation System — adding direction-controlled PSS shield conductors (PSS Drains) that drain RF noise from the line and neutral shields to ground via the third "ground" pin, for a powerful, dynamic, and immersive result. This is the balanced-format counterpart to Dragon RCA, sitting at the top of AudioQuest's Mythical Creature interconnect family. All Mythical Creature interconnects are available with custom-made RCA and XLR terminations. This product is made to order at AudioQuest headquarters in Irvine, CA, with custom lengths and terminations available — expect moderately delayed fulfillment. As an authorized AudioQuest dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you match this cable to your balanced-input components.
Key Features
- Solid, direction-controlled conductors, preventing strand interaction (a major source of dynamic distortion)
- Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS), AudioQuest's highest-quality metal, minimizing grain-boundary distortion and maximizing linear RF Noise-Dissipation
- PSS Drains — direction-controlled Solid PSS shield conductors that maximize RF noise drainage from the line and neutral shields to ground via the third "ground" pin
- Level-7 Noise-Dissipation System — Graphene/Carbon Mesh-Network with 72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) and PSS Drains, minimizing RF noise before it reaches the ground-attached layer
- ZERO-Tech geometry, eliminating the electrostatic field between high and low signal conductors, enabling linear RF noise dissipation and uncompressed transients
- FEP Air-Tube insulation, with almost no contact between conductors and insulation to reduce smearing and preserve dynamics
- Silver-Plated RF-Draining Barrels
- Hanging-Silver over Red Copper terminations
- Sold as a pair
- Made to order, with custom lengths and terminations available

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dragon XLR the same as Dragon RCA?
Yes — identical conductor metal, geometry, insulation, and Level-7 Noise-Dissipation System, just terminated for balanced XLR connections instead of RCA. Contact Vinyl Sound to help you choose the right format for your system.
How does Dragon compare to ThunderBird or Pegasus XLR?
Dragon adds PSS Drains on top of ThunderBird's Level-6 Noise-Dissipation System, for AudioQuest's top Level-7 tier. Note that Pegasus XLR uses a Double 72v DBS, which Dragon does not — Dragon's advantage comes from its PSS Drains and Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) conductors instead. Contact Vinyl Sound for a detailed comparison.
