Reference Red (RCA)

Ortofon Reference Interconnect cables Series is designed and manufactured by Ortofon Japan.

The Reference Red is an all-purpose, decent, but not too expensive cable that would be a great addition to any audio equipment. The sound is relaxed, warm, and dynamic with high resolution.

Ortofon Reference Red cable

The Reference Red Interconnect cable is a perfect combination of 4N OFC (Oxygen-free copper) and 4N HiFC (High performance pure copper) conductors. These two copper conductor materials are combined to create a warm, dynamic sound with high resolution.

The Reference Red is surrounded by shield of both 16 sets of 0.1 mm x 10 copper wires and aluminum to reduce electromagnetic induced noise. The gold-plated RCA terminals provide easy, stable, and durable connection.
