This construction significantly reduces strand interaction distortion. The astonishingly smooth and pure Perfect-Surface conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries and surface discontinuities that exist in any metal conductor. In addition, NRG-Z2's direction-controlled silver-plated shield conductors efficiently drain RF noise to ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSemi-Solid Concentric Packed Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) Conductors\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a conventional multi-strand cable, distortion caused by electrical and magnetic strand interaction is compounded as each strand changes position within the bundle. In an AQ Semi-Solid Concentric Packed cable, strands within the bundle maintain their fixed relationships, significantly reducing distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSilver-Plated Drain Wires\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirection-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\n\u003ch4\u003eZero Characteristic Impedance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\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\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"1 Meter","offer_id":8875521507388,"sku":"AQ NRG-Z3 1M","price":370.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Meter","offer_id":8875521572924,"sku":"AQ NRG-Z3 2M","price":490.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Meter","offer_id":8875521638460,"sku":"AQ NRG-Z3 3M","price":610.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4.5 Meter","offer_id":8875521703996,"sku":"AQ NRG-Z3 4.5M","price":790.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/products\/NRG-Z3-_US.jpg?v=1741632045","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/audioquest-nrg-z3-power-cable","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
