AudioQuest Red River XLR Interconnect Cable
Connect audio source components to amplifiers and receivers with the AudioQuest Red River XLR balanced interconnect, meticulously designed for exceptional performance and outstanding value. Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors minimize distortion, Foamed-Polyethylene insulation preserves dynamic contrasts, and Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation efficiently dissipates high-frequency noise — for cleaner, clearer, more naturally beautiful music. Red River is the entry point in AudioQuest's XLR interconnect lineup, built on Triple-Balanced geometry for full balanced-signal performance. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose XLR over RCA interconnects?
XLR (balanced) connections reject noise picked up along the cable run, making them the better choice for longer cable runs or noisy environments. Contact Vinyl Sound to confirm your components support balanced XLR inputs/outputs.
How does Red River compare to AudioQuest's higher XLR tiers?
Red River uses Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation and gold-plated terminations. Higher tiers in AudioQuest's XLR lineup add Carbon Mesh-Network noise-dissipation and Hanging-Silver plated terminations. Contact Vinyl Sound for a detailed comparison.
