AudioQuest NRG-Z3 Power Cord - 1 Meter

Description: AudioQuest NRG-Z3 Power Cord Authorized Dealer Since 1980 - Factory Warranty Applies 1 Meter NRG-Z3 Power Cord Low-Distortion 3-Pole Power Cable Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) with Silver-Plated Drain Wires Quiet Background and Minimal Active-Circuit Misbehavior Due to RF/ND-Tech (US Patent # 8,988,168) & Direction-Controlled Conductors and Shields ZERO (No) Characteristic Impedance (Uncompressed Current Transfer) THE CHALLENGE: No matter how perfect an AC power source, distortion is added within 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-Z3 cables use direction-controlled Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) strands in a 7-strand 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 extremely pure and smooth-surface PSC conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries which exist in any metal conductor. NRG-Z3’s patented RF/ND-Tech and direction-controlled Silver-Plated shield conductors efficiently drain RF noise from the line and neutral shields to ground via the third “ground” pin. In addition. NRG-Z3’s common-mode phase-cancelling array provides additional differential linear filtering. The net result is powerful, dynamic and immersive!Indicative price only; other prepared lengths available.

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 RF/ND-Tech greatly reduces this distortion, yielding unprecedented levels of noise dissipation across the widest bandwidth (range) of radio frequencies possible. Our unique circuit topology uses a common-mode phase-cancelling array, in concert with proprietary dielectric materials which provide additional differential linear filtering. US Patent # 8,988,168. 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 CONDUCTORSIn 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 WIRESDirection-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 CONDUCTORSAll drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical, and therefore directional, grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise is drained away from where it will cause distortion. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. When applicable, arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality. For most models of AQ cable, the arrows not only indicate the direction that optimizes metal-directionality as part of Noise-Dissipation, but also indicates non-symmetrical attachment of shield and GND in order to optimize full-system performance. A fundamental aspect of AudioQuest's multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology, Direction-Controlled Conductors ensure induced noise is dissipated and drained properly. =================================================== Check out our playlist on QOBUZ or TIDAL.

Proof of original purchase is required.For all other products, AudioQuest provides a limited, non-transferable, one-year warranty to original owners who purchased their product through an authorized AudioQuest dealer in the United States. At its option, AudioQuest will repair or replace any defective product that has not been abused, for up to one year from the original date of purchase. Proof of original purchase is required.Cables not terminated by AudioQuest that require service may be returned to AudioQuest with prior authorization and repaired for a fee.This warranty is not an upgrade program for AudioQuest HDMI cables that were designed to meet previous generations of HDMI specifications. Current AudioQuest models are designed to meet HDMI 2.0 (18Gbps) or HDMI 2.1 (48Gbps).All generations of HDMI cable will provide some, but not all, of the features made possible by HDMI 2.0 and 2.1. All generations of HDMI cable are backwards compatible—they provide all the capabilities of previous generations.To experience the audio/video benefits made possible by the latest HDMI 2.1 hardware, an HDMI cable must meet HDMI specifications, specifically an FRL-enabled bandwidth of 48Gbps.This warranty is valid in the United States only. For warranty policies in other countries, please contact your local dealer or distributor.Limitations and ConditionsThis warranty is subject to the following limitations and conditions:The unit will not be covered under the warranty if:• It has been altered or modified in any way.• It has been damaged due to misuse,negligence,accident or improper operation.• It has been subjected to water damage, or extremes of humidity or temperature.• It has been purchased from an unauthorized dealer, or unauthorized repair or service has beenperformed. For repairs and returns:• A request for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number must be made in writing or via phone to AudioQuest.• A return address and phone number must be included.• Returned product must be accompanied by the RMA number, a written description of the defect orissue, and a photocopy of the original purchase receipt.• Customer is responsible for paying shipping charges to AudioQuest.• If the product is found to be out of warranty, as in the conditions specified above, the customer will begiven the option to pay for the repairs or replacement, or to have the unit returned to them.Limited to original purchaser:• This Warranty is for the sole benefit of the original purchaser and shall not be transferred to a subsequent purchaser of the product. Warranty Outside the USA, Netherlands, Germany or the UKAudioQuest has authorized distributors in many countries of the world.
