Low distortion 2-pole power cable:

Long Grain Copper (LGC) and Silver Plated Drain Cables

Noise dissipation - quiet background and minimal circuit misbehavior due to directionally placed conductors and shields

ZERO technology (no characteristic impedance) for uncompressed current transfer

The Challenge: No matter how perfect an AC power supply is, it adds distortion inside 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: NRG-Y2 cables use long-grain copper (LGC) strands placed directionally in a semi-solid concentric conductor arrangement in which the strands are packed more tightly and never change position within the section. This construction significantly reduces strand interaction distortion. The higher purity and less complicated grain structure within LGC copper further reduces distortion.

Additionally, the NRG-Y2's directionally placed silver-plated shield conductors efficiently drain radio frequency noise from the line and neutral shields to ground via the third "ground" pin. The net result is powerful, dynamic, and immersive!

Technical characteristics:

LONG GRAIN COPPER (LGC)

Long-grain copper (LGC) minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries that exist within any metallic conductor.

ZERO TECHNOLOGY: NO CHARACTERISTIC IMPEDANCE

While many AC power cables feature low current resistance to accommodate high current demand, the characteristic impedance of a cable is also crucial for optimal performance. Unlike most AC cables that constrict or compress an audio-induced transient, AudioQuest AC cables combine low DC resistance and zero (zero) characteristic impedance to deliver uncompressed transients on demand. .

SILVER PLATED DRAIN CONDUCTORS

Direction-controlled silver shield conductors effectively drain radio frequency noise from line and neutral shields to ground via the third "ground" pin. The net result is powerful, dynamic, and immersive.

SEMI-SOLID CONCENTRIC CONDUCTORS

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

DIRECTION CONTROLLED DRIVERS

A fundamental aspect of AudioQuest's multi-faceted noise dissipation technology, directional controlled conductors ensure that induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.
