Minimize Distortion with Direction-Controlled Perfect-Surface Copper+ Strands
The Challenge: No matter how perfect an AC power source, distortion is added within any AC cable. Even the most sophisticated filters and power supplies cannot eliminate this Transient Intermodulation Distortion (TIM) as the induced RF noise modulates the low-level audio/video signal.
The Solution: AudioQuest NRG-Z2 AC power cables use direction-controlled Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) strands in a Semi-Solid Concentric conductor arrangement in which strands are packed more tightly and never change position within the bundle. This construction significantly reduces strand interaction distortion. The extremely pure and smooth-surface PSC+ conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries which exist in any metal conductor.
In addition, NRG-Z2's direction-controlled Silver-Plated shield conductors efficiently drain RF noise from the line and neutral shields to ground via the third "ground" pin. The net result is powerful, dynamic and immersive!
Note: This is the C7 version of AudioQuest's NRG-Z2 AC power cable and is compatible with AV gear that has a C7 power inlet.
Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors
NRG-Z2's astonishingly smooth and pure Perfect-Surface processed conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries and surface discontinuities that exist in any metal conductor.
Zero-Tech (No Defined Characteristic-Impedance)
While many AC power cables feature low DC resistance in order to accommodate the demand for high current, a cable's characteristic impedance is also crucial for optimal performance. Unlike most AC cables that constrict or compress an audio-provoked transient, AudioQuest AC cables combine low DC resistance and zero (no) characteristic impedance in order to deliver uncompressed transients on demand.
Silver-Plated Drain Wires
Direction-controlled Silver-Plated shield conductors efficiently drain RF noise from the line and neutral shields to ground via the third "ground" pin. The net result is powerful, dynamic, and immersive.
Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors
In AudioQuest's Semi-Solid Concentric conductor topology, conductor strands are packed more tightly and never change position within the bundle. This significantly reduces strand-interaction distortion.
Direction-Controlled Conductors
A fundamental aspect of AudioQuest's multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology, Direction-Controlled Conductors assure induced noise is dissipated and drained properly to minimize any possible interference with your connected component.
