Low-Noise Audiophile Power Cable for C5 Gear
AudioQuest's NRG-X3 Power Cord with a C5 connector presents the opportunity to upgrade compatible Blu-ray players, streamers, and other AV gear that use a C5 power inlet. NRG-X3 uses Semi-Solid, direction-Controlled Long-Grain Copper conductors for unbeatable performance.
Long-Grain Copper (LGC) minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries that exist within any metal conductor. In AudioQuest's Semi-Solid Concentric conductor topology, strands are packed more tightly and never change position within the bundle, significantly reducing strand-interaction distortion. Furthermore, as a fundamental aspect of AudioQuest's multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology, Direction-Controlled Conductors ensure induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.
NRG-X3 Upgrades
AudioQuest’s award-winning NRG-X AC power cables were loved by many—experienced audiophiles and newcomers alike—for their unrivaled combination of performance and value. Compared to stock AC power cords or even premium cables at similar or higher prices, NRG-X cables have always delivered enhanced bass definition, improved transient articulation, greater soundstage scale, and more of the precious spatial cues that bring recorded music to life.
The next generation of NRG-X AC cables continues the tradition of outstanding performance and exceptional value while complementing and enhancing today’s exciting electronics.
Direction-Controlled LGC Conductors
These new NRG-X Series power cables use Direction-Controlled Long-Grain Copper (LGC) in a Semi-Solid Concentric Topology—a sophisticated physical arrangement in which strands are packed more tightly and never change position within the bundle. Direction-Controlled LGC minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries that exist in any metal conductor, which in turn assures induced noise is dissipated and drained properly—as always, we direct noise where it will do the least harm to your system’s performance.
Delightfully Clear
While the earlier X cables had 37 strands in three layers over the single center strand, the new X-Series power cables have only seven larger strands comprising just a single uniform layer over a center strand. This refinement may sound simple, but the improved result is delightfully clear.
In addition, the 3-pole NRG-X3 is available with C13 and C5 female ends to accommodate a wide range of today's new components.
Designed by AudioQuest to effectively lower noise in your audio/video system, our new X-Series power cables are true to music, allowing you to hear more of what’s on the recording. We invite you to experience the difference!
