AudioQuest NRG-Z2 Low-Distortion 2-Pole Power Cable
A Low-Distortion Power Cable Engineered for Media Streamers, Blu-ray Players, and Cable Boxes: Two-Pole AudioQuest NRG-Z2 Delivers Gains in Dynamics and Clarity, Uses PSC+ Conductors
Specifically engineered for media streamers, Blu-ray players, and cable boxes, the AudioQuest NRG-Z2 power cable delivers remarkably noticeable gains in dynamic, immersive performance over stock types. A two-pole design, NRG-Z2 uses direction-controlled Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors in a semi-solid concentric arrangement in which the individual copper strands are packed extremely tight and never change position.
The immediate result: significant reductions in strand interaction distortion. In addition, the smooth, pure Perfect-Surface conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries and surface discontinuities that exist in any metal conductor.
Distortion-Reducing Construction: Semi-Solid Concentric Perfect-Surface Copper+ Conductors
In a semi-solid concentric arrangement, the conductor strands are packed 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 the grain boundaries that exist within any metal conductor.
Immerse Yourself in the Moment: 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.
Uncompressed Transients on Demand: Zero 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 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.
