AudioQuest Red River RCA Male to RCA Male Cables - 6.56 ft. (2m) - 2-Pack

North America has two Red Rivers North and South. Red River South has been home to many peoples; it once was the border between the US and colonial Spain and today forms part of the border between the rival states of Texas and Oklahoma.

Red River North forms in a confluence of rivers in North Dakota and Minnesota but its history is Canadas. The Red River Norths early settlers were the Mtis whose ancestry was French and aboriginal Canadian. The Mtis in 1869 began an uprising known as the Red River Rebellion which challenged the Canadian government eventually leading to the formation of the province of Manitoba.

SOLID LONG-GRAIN COPPER (LGC) CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Red Rivers solid Long-Grain Copper allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding loss without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material less impurities less grain boundaries and definitively better performance.

NITROGEN-INJECTED HARD-CELL FOAM INSULATION: Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam insulation is used exclusively in most of AudioQuests video and digital audio cables. Similar to Foamed-PE it is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Hard foam is used because the stiffness of the material allows the conductors in the cable to maintain the same relationship with each other along the full length of the cable thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the cable is consistent.

METAL-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS): 100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipments ground reference requires AQs Noise-Dissipation System. Noise-Dissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipments ground plane.

TRIPLE-BALANCED GEOMETRY: The three conductors in Triple-Balanced Red River cables ensure that whether prepared with RCA or XLR plugs the positive and negative signals have equally low-distortion conducting paths. The 100% coverage shield is never used as an inferior conductor.

COLD-WELDED GOLD-PLATED PLUGS: This plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder which is a common source of distortion. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined the metal can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability.
