Audience Front Row XLR Interconnect Cable
Audience frontRow: Elite-Level Performance, Uncompromised Musicality
When we set out to create a cable line that would go beyond our multi-award-winning Au24 SX series, we knew it had to deliver a transformative leap in sonic performance. The result of years of focused research, meticulous testing, and precision engineering was Audience frontRow: a cable line that redefined expectations for resolution, transparency, and emotional engagement.
Today, frontRow stands as our second-highest performing cable series, only surpassed by the extraordinary innovations of our Reserve series. Still, frontRow remains a reference-grade solution for listeners seeking immersive realism and system synergy at the highest level.
With frontRow in your system, every musical detail—from subtle background cues to the breath behind each vocal—comes alive with startling clarity, depth, and intimacy. It’s not just sound, it’s the soul of the performance.
MORRE Technology – The Heart of frontRow
At the core of the frontRow series is MORRE (Musically Optimized Reduction of Resistive Energies), a breakthrough engineering platform that represents the culmination of Audience's most advanced design principles.
MORRE is a comprehensive, system-wide approach where every material, connector, and interaction is refined to minimize signal loss, eliminate distortion, and preserve the purest musical signal. Unlike cable designs that improve one or two parameters, MORRE optimizes the entire signal path, including:
- Proprietary cable geometries for phase-accurate timing
- Ultra-refined metallurgy and conductor design for tonal clarity
- Advanced shielding and dielectric materials to reduce noise and jitter
- Tuned resonance control to eliminate mechanical distortion
- Precision connector engineering for maximum conductivity and signal integrity
Each frontRow cable undergoes rigorous real-world testing and Audience’s signature cryogenic treatment, ensuring absolute performance consistency from end to end.
Hear More. Feel More.
Every frontRow cable you introduce into your system removes layers of distortion and elevates musical presence. Expect:
- Expanded microdynamics and harmonic texture
- Ultra-low noise floors and inky black backgrounds
- Air, depth, and three-dimensional holography
- Fast transients and lifelike musical flow
- Balanced tonal purity with emotional immediacy
Whether you're rediscovering a familiar album or exploring new recordings, frontRow brings you closer to the artist’s intent—with breathtaking realism and emotional connection.

Audio Cinema Em Casa,Jorge Gonçalves – Oct ’24
“Was really Very interesting to have the frontRows in my system. Showing existing qualities and others never heard before. Follow our strongest recommendation with an excellent cost x performance”.
Positive Feedback, Bruce Kinch – Aug ’24
“The audience for high performance audio is extensive and varied, but whatever one’s system construction or listening preferences, the Hidden Treasure Ethernet and frontRow USB cables are most highly recommended, individually or together. I’ve recently taken to describing my soundstage as Sonic Cinemascope. Take your seat and enjoy the show.”
Positive Feedback, John Acton – June ’24
“There was a complete absence of listening fatigue; indeed, with the incredible insight into music performances afforded by the frontRows, I was compelled to pull out recording after recording.”
“Can the addition of a power cord be life changing? Yes, when that power cord is the Audience frontRow. It’s that good.”
Positive Feedback, John Acton – Nov’23
Positive Feedback, Marshall Nack – Issue 124 Dec ’22
“With the frontRow digital cables in place, I glanced over at Lynn and knew something was up by her unwavering attention. I understood because I shared it. “
The Absolute Sound, Neil Gader – Aug ’22
“Effortlessly musical and truthful, frontRow seems like the culmination of a journey that Audience embarked upon a long time ago.”
Audio Acessory, Yutaka Suzuki- Aug ’21
“Sharp and high contrast..” “The sound stage is wide and transparent..” “The president’s way of thinking is thorough..” “Direct and stoic sound..”

Positive Feedback, Marshall Nack – Feb ’21
“The frontRow suite achieves the implicit goal of every serious high-end review—fidelity to the source. It is uncanny how they make the footprint of electrical devices almost undetectable, bringing you closer to the source. To a very large extent the frontRow speaker cables and interconnects step aside. (The powerChords do it, too, but have more color and personality.) The frontRow suite completely satisfies the primary Golden Rule.”
Positive Feedback, Marshall Nack – Jan ’21
“It is with unabashed delight to report the Audience frontRow interconnect met the requirements for uniqueness and beauty.”
the audio analyst, Greg Weaver – Jan ’21
“… the most authentic, relaxed, yet musically detailed and resolving to ever bear the Audience badge”.
