Ground-Noise Dissipation Reduces RF Noise
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. AudioQuest 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 GND (Ground-Noise
Dissipation) 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.
Ground-Noise
Dissipation (GND) Technology
AC Ground
wires provide protection from current-wiring faults, but they also act as
antennas. 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 patented
Ground-Noise Dissipation (GND) greatly reduces this distortion, yielding
unprecedented levels of noise dissipation across the widest bandwidth (range)
of radio frequencies possible. Our unique circuit topology utilizes a
common-mode phase-cancelling array, in concert with proprietary dielectric
materials which provide additional differential linear filtering.
Perfect-Surface
Copper (PSC) Conductors
NRG-Z3 uses
high-end PSC Perfect-Surface copper conductors. The astonishingly smooth and
pure Perfect-Surface processed conductors minimize distortion caused by grain
boundaries and surface discontinuities that exist in any metal conductor.
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.
Silver-Plated
Drain Wires
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.
Semi-Solid
Concentric Conductors
In
AudioQuest's Semi-Solid Concentric conductor topology, conductor strands are
packed more tightly and never change position within the bundle. This
significantly reduces strand-interaction distortion.
Direction-Controlled
Conductors
A
fundamental aspect of AudioQuest's multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology,
Direction-Controlled Conductors assure induced noise is dissipated and drained
properly to minimize any possible interference with your connected component.
