Audioquest NRG-Y2 Power Cord US Low-Distortion 2-Pole – AudioQuest
A well-engineered power cable really can make a difference
The AC power that feeds your gear is the foundation of your system’s audio and video performance. Even if you’ve plugged your components into a power conditioner to clean up the current coming out of your wall, a flimsy stock power cord can act as an antenna for airborne interference that subtly degrades high-resolution audio and video signals.
Advanced materials and construction for lower distortion
AudioQuest’s NRG-Y2 uses solid conductors made of high-purity Long-Grain Copper. Solid conductors eliminate interaction between wire strands, which is a major source of distortion in an AC power cable. AQ’s Semi-Solid Concentric conductor arrangement packs strands very tightly so that they never change position within the bundle, which significantly reduces distortion.Â
Make sure it fits your component
The NRG-Y2 works with most components that have a detachable, two-pole “C7” power cord. That includes some CD players and Blu-ray players, most cable and satellite set-top boxes, and all PlayStation and Xbox game consoles.
Product highlights:
- 3-prong connector for wall outlet, 2-pole “C7” connector for component
- direction-controlled Long-Grain Copper conductors
- Semi-Solid Concentric conductor arrangement reduces strand interaction distortion
- direction-controlled Silver-Plated shield conductors efficiently drain RF noise from the line and neutral shields to ground via the third “ground” pin
- low DC resistance and zero characteristic impedance help deliver uncompressed transients on demand
- maximum current capacity: 12 amps
- textile braid cable cover
- warranty: 5 years
