AudioQuest NRG-Y3 Low-Distortion 3-Pole AC Power Cable - 6.56' (2m)

NRG-Y3 cables use direction-controlled Long-Grain-Copper (LGC) 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 greater purity and less complicated grain structure within LGC copper further reduces distortion. In addition, NRG-Y3’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!

Features

• Long-Grain Copper (LGC) and Silver-Plated Drain Wires
• Noise-Dissipation: Quiet Background and Minimal Circuit Misbehavior Due to Direction-Controlled Conductors and Shields
• ZERO Tech (No Characteristic Impedance) for Uncompressed Current Transfer

Long-Grain Copper (LGC)

Long-Grain Copper (LGC) minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries that exist within 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.

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 AudioQuest's multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology, Direction-Controlled Conductors assure induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.
