AudioQuest NRG-Z2

AudioQuest NRG-Z2 Power Cable

2 pole low distortion power cable - copper + (PSC +) with perfect surface and silver plated drain wires

- Quiet background and minimal active circuit malfunction due to directionally controlled conductors and shielding

- NULL (none) characteristic impedance (uncompressed current transmission) )

THE CHALLENGE: No matter how perfect an AC power source is, any AC cable will cause distortion. Even the most advanced filters and power supplies cannot eliminate this transient intermodulation (TIM) distortion because the induced RF noise modulates the audio/video signal at a low level.

THE SOLUTION: NRG-Z2 cables use directionally controlled Perfect-Surface Copper + (PSC +) strands in a semi-rigid concentric conductor arrangement in which the strands are packed more tightly and never change their position within the bundle. This design significantly reduces strand interaction distortion. The extremely pure PSC + conductors with smooth surface minimize the distortion caused by grain boundaries present in any metal conductor.

In addition, the directionally controlled silver-plated shielding conductors of the NRG-Z2 efficiently dissipate RF noise via the third ground pin from the cable and the neutral shields to ground. The net result is powerful, dynamic and impressive!

Properties:

COPPER + (PSC +) - CONDUCTORS WITH PERFECT SURFACE

The amazingly smooth and pure perfect surface processed conductors minimize the distortion caused by grain boundaries and surface discontinuities in metal conductors.

ZERO TECH: NO CHARACTERISTIC IMPEDANCE

While many AC cables have a low DC resistance to meet the need for high current, the characteristic impedance of a cable is also critical for optimum performance. Unlike most AC cables that constrict or compress an audio-induced transient, AudioQuest AC cables combine low DC resistance and zero (none) impedance to provide uncompressed transients when needed.

SILVER-PLATED DRAIN WIRES

Directional silver-plated shielding conductors efficiently dissipate RF noise from the line and neutral shields via the third ground pin to ground. The net result is powerful, dynamic and impressive.

SEMI-SOLID CONCENTRIC CONDUCTORS

In our semi-rigid concentric conductor topology, the strands are more densely packed and never change their position within the bundle, significantly reducing the distortion of strand interaction.

DIRECTIONAL LADDER

Directional conductors are a fundamental aspect of AudioQuest's versatile noise dissipation technology and ensure that induced noise is properly dissipated and conducted.
