AudioQuestRed River (XLR, 1.0m)

Red River 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 Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) ConductorsPerfect-Surface Copper has an astonishingly smooth and pure surface. Proprietary metal-processing technology protects the wires surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-oxide copper is kept as soft pure and smooth as possible it becomes a wonderfully low-distortion conductor. For over 30 years AudioQuest has pioneered the use of superior metals; yet most people were surprised by this huge leap in performance. PSC clearly outperforms previous AQ metals that cost over ten times as much. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the greatest source of distortion often causing a somewhat dirty harsh sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving Red Rivers very clean sound. 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.
