Nordost Red Dawn 3 XLR
Analog interconnect for high-performance audio systems
The Red Dawn 3 balanced Interconnect represents the performance pinnacle of the Leif 3 Series. A successful interconnect should seamlessly transmit audio signal without introducing any distortion or alteration. Nordost’s Red Dawn 3 Analog Interconnect achieves this goal through a filter-less approach, offering a neutral conduit that faithfully reproduces music. The Red Dawn 3 Analog Interconnect uses six, 24 AWG silver-plated, solid core OFC conductors arranged into three twisted pairs in order to reduce noise interference from the signals they carry. Each pair is then individually shielded before being bundled and secured in a second braided shield, providing 97% coverage. The cables are then terminated with gold-plated Neutrik XLR connectors. As a result, the Red Dawn 3 maximizes signal transmission while preserving the integrity of the source material, allowing enhanced textural aspects of music reproduction to shine through.
