SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER CONDUCTORS (PSC): Perfect-Surface copper has an amazingly smooth and pure surface. Proprietary metal processing technology protects the surface of the wire at every step of drawing and manufacturing. When high-purity, low-oxygen copper is obtained as soft, pure, and smooth as possible, it becomes a wonderfully low-distortion conductor. For more than 30 years, AudioQuest has pioneered the use of high quality metals; but even we were surprised by the huge leap in performance. PSC outperforms metals previously used at AQ, which cost more than ten times as much. The mutual electrical and magnetic influence of the strands in conventional cable structures is the greatest source of interference and often causes an “unclean”, “rough” sound. Solid conductors are the fundamental basis for the pure sound of the AudioQuest Red River.

HARD-CELL FOAM INSULATION: Hard-Cell foam is used exclusively in most of AudioQuest's video and digital audio cables. Similar to PE foam, it contains nitrogen injections that create air pockets. “Hard” foam is used because the rigidity of the material ensures that the conductors within the cable do not change position relative to one another throughout the cable length, maintaining the characteristic impedance evenly.

METAL LAYER NOISE DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS): Achieving 100 percent shielding is easy. To prevent “trapped” RF interference from affecting the device’s ground reference, the AudioQuest Noise Dissipation System is required. It prevents most RF interference from reaching the ground plane of the device.

TRIPLE-BALANCED GEOMETRY: The three conductors in AudioQuest Red River “Triple-Balanced” cables, whether assembled with RCA or XLR connectors, ensure that equally low-distortion conductor paths are available for the positive and negative signals. The 100% shielding is never used as an inferior conductor.

COLD-WELDED, GOLD-PLATED CONNECTORS: This connector design allows connections without solder - as this is a common source of interference. Because the ferrules are stamped rather than machined, the metal can be selected for low distortion rather than machinability.
