Solid-core conductors
For many years Audioquest has advocated solid-core rather than multi-strand cables. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in conventional cables can cause distortion, giving the sound an unnatural edge. Using long-grain copper, the Audioquest Red River gives a cleaner, clearer sound than regular cables using oxygen-free high-conductivity copper, thanks to fewer impurities.
Triple balanced geometry
Three conductors used in triple-balanced configuration ensure the positive and negative signals have equally low-distortion conducting paths. The shield is dedicated to screening rather than being used as part of an inferior quality conductor.
Cold-welded, gold-plated plugs
By using a high-pressure weld rather than solder, there's less chance of a faulty connection between cable and plug. This gives a more reliable long-term connection, and ensures low resistance for a low distortion connection for the entire life of the cable.
Balanced in terms of construction and sound, the Audioquest Red River is an accomplished all-rounder.
