The Audioquest NRG Y2 Power Cable features direction-controlled Semi-Solid Concentric Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors and ZERO-Tech, minimizing the noise of your A/V system.
Long-Grain Copper (LGC)
Long-Grain Copper (LGC) minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries within any metal conductor of the NRG Y2 power cable.
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.
ZERO-Tech
While many AC power cables feature low DC resistance in order to accommodate the demand for high current, a cableโs characteristic impedance is also crucial for optimal performance. Unlike most AC cables that constrict or compress an audio-provoked transient, AudioQuest NRG Y2 cables combine low DC resistance and zero (no) characteristic impedance to deliver uncompressed transients on demand.
Silver-Plated Drain Wires
Direction-controlled Silver-Plated shield conductors drain RF noise from the line and neutral shields to ground via the third โgroundโ pin. The net result from the NRG Y2 power cable is powerful, dynamic, and immersive.
Direction-Controlled Conductors
All drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical, and therefore directional, grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise drains away from where it will cause distortion. AudioQuest determines the correct direction by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every audio cable. When applicable, arrows are clearly marked on the NRG Y2 power cable 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 dissipates and drains properly.
