About the Red Wave

The DH Labs Red Wave Power Cord is a high-performance AC power cable designed for audiophile and professional audio use. It contains three beefy 10-gauge conductors, each wound with 1,386 strands of extremely pure, silver-coated oxygen-free high conductivity (OFHC) copper. The conductors are tightly spiraled to reduce inductance and are separated by cotton fibers. The cable features a copolymer dielectric to reduce incoming differential-mode noise and is double or triple shielded with a dense braid of tin and copper plus a conductive foil and drain wire to block external radio frequency interference (RFI). The cable is robustly built to deliver instantaneous current without hesitation, satisfying the demands of the finest audio components and video displays. It comes with gold-plated Wattgate 330i plugs and 350i IEC connectors as standard, with optional Oyaide 079 plugs and IEC connectors available. The distinctive red jacket and high-quality construction contribute to its reputation for improving dynamic excitement, energy, focus, and detail in audio systems. The Red Wave is praised for its vivid, upfront sound that is lively and visceral without being analytical or overly bright, making it a recommended power cord for high-end audio systems at a reasonable price point compared to competitors charging four-digit prices.
