AudioQuest NRG-Z3 AC Powercord

PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER (PSC) CONDUCTORS

The 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.

GND-TECH (GROUND-NOISE DISSIPATION)

AC Ground wires provide protection from current-wiring faults but they also act as antennas. Thus they are subject to induced radio-frequency (RF) noise. This RF noise bypasses component power supplies and is typically coupled directly into a system’s most sensitive audio/video circuits. AudioQuest’s patented Ground-Noise Dissipation (GND) greatly reduces this distortion yielding unprecedented levels of noise dissipation across the widest bandwidth (range) of radio frequencies possible. Our unique circuit topology utilizes a common-mode phase-cancelling array in concert with proprietary dielectric materials which provide additional differential linear filtering.

SEMI-SOLID CONCENTRIC CONDUCTORS

In our Semi-Solid Concentric conductor topology strands are packed more tightly and never change position within the bundle significantly reducing strand-interaction distortion.
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.

DIRECTION-CONTROLLED CONDUCTORS

A fundamental aspect of AudioQuests multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology Direction-Controlled Conductors assure induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.
