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. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Solution: AudioQuest NRG-Z2 AC power cables use direction-controlled Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) 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 extremely pure and smooth-surface PSC+ conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries which exist in any metal conductor. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIn addition, NRG-Z2'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! \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eNote: This is the C7 version of AudioQuest's NRG-Z2 AC power cable and is compatible with AV gear that has a C7 power inlet. \u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003ePerfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eNRG-Z2's astonishingly smooth and pure Perfect-Surface processed conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries and surface discontinuities that exist in any metal conductor.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eZero-Tech (No Defined Characteristic-Impedance)\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eWhile 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eSilver-Plated Drain Wires\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eDirection-controlled Silver-Plated shield conductors efficiently drain RF noise from the line and neutral shields to ground via the third \"ground\" pin.
