Red Dawn 3 Analogue Interconnects * NEW *

from £710.00

The Red Dawn 3 Analog 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 or Profi Neutrik RCA 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.

Lengths over 2m available: £180 per additional 1/2 meter

Red Dawn

Nordost’s Red Dawn range is the top tier of our entry-level, Leif family. Thanks to Nordost’s core cable design, including silver-plated, solid core conductors and FEP extrusion, as well as patented Micro Mono-Filament technology integrated throughout the line, Red Dawn cables provide a natural and articulated performance from your home audio system. Red Dawn cables allow your system to take that final leap from creating enjoyable music to experiencing a true performance that will make standard cabling seem intolerable.

Analogue Interconnects

Your sound system deserves an audio cable that will allow your hifi components to shine—maximizing signal transmission without the distracting, and often degrading, effects of filtration and tonal enhancements. Nordost produces low-mass interconnects with optimal signal transfer speed and perfect impedance matching, which impart a neutral presence on your system, letting your components perform as they were intended. The defining factor in our signal cables isn’t found in filters, or rare exotic materials, but rather in precise manufacturing techniques and groundbreaking technology. Nordost’s neutral solution to cabling produces the perfect interconnects for any level sound system.

Several years ago, at the beginning of my career as a reviewer, I had the opportunity to work with audio and video cables almost exclusively. At the time, it felt like regardless how amazing a cable sounded there was always another to take its place. Very few of them really stood out within my mind. Even those that stood out rarely became part of my . .
