Audience frontRow Reserve USB Cable

USB carries your music as data, but it also carries noise from the computer or streamer at the other end. The frontRow Reserve USB brings Audience's quietest cable design to that connection, with silver-copper conductors and noise suppression built into the cable itself.

A quieter USB link, so your DAC resolves more of the music.

The Design

Audience built the Reserve on its award-winning frontRow cables, then blended a judicious amount of high-purity silver into frontRow's proven copper conductor geometry. Copper brings warmth and natural tonal weight; the silver adds speed, openness, and top-end detail. The result keeps everything listeners love about frontRow and lets more of the music through.

Audience also embeds its own formulation of natural crystal materials inside the cable, tuned to absorb high-frequency noise, and wraps everything in a new EMI/RFI-resistant outer sleeve with additional internal shielding. Less noise means a blacker background, so the small details of a recording, the room reverb, the breath before a phrase, the decay of a cymbal, come forward on their own.

How It Sounds

Audience voices the Reserve series for a dramatically lower noise floor, with more resolution, tonal nuance, and dynamic life. Through a good DAC, that means a blacker background and music that feels more present.

Where It Fits

Use the frontRow Reserve USB between your streamer, music server, or computer and a USB DAC that can reveal the difference. It sits above the frontRow USB and Studio ONE USB in Audience's lineup. Choose the shortest length your setup allows.

Press Recognition

• Positive Feedback, 2024 Writers’ Choice Award (Issue 136, December 2024), Myles B. Astor. Astor, who has heard every Audience cable in his system, called the frontRow Reserve clearly a step above the rest, with a much lower noise floor, better dynamics, and dazzling speed.
