Blizzard Power Cable

High-Purity True-Concentric PSC+ Conductors

Blizzard uses only our very purest copper: 100% Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+). Both superior metal and conductor geometry greatly reduce ear-fatiguing Transient Intermodulation (TIM) Distortion.

ZERO-Tech

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 high-current transients on demand.

RF/ND-Tech

AC Ground wires may provide protection from an electrical short circuit, but they also act as an antenna. 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 RF/ND-Tech greatly reduces this distortion, yielding unprecedented levels of Noise-Dissipation across the widest bandwidth (range) of radio frequencies possible. Our unique circuit topology uses a common-mode phase-cancelling array, in concert with proprietary dielectric materials which provide additional differential linear filtering. US Patent # 8,988,168.

72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS)

Insulation is also a dielectric that can act like a shunt-filter. Biasing minimizes dielectric-noise and linearizes the filter, significantly improving wide-bandwidth dissipation of induced RF noise.

Directionality

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 is drained away from where it will cause distortion. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. When applicable, arrows are clearly marked on the 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.

Perfect-Surface Copper+ Conductors

The remarkably smooth and pure Perfect-Surface processed conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries and surface irregularities found in all metal conductors. This superior metal greatly reduces ear-fatiguing distortion, providing a more enjoyable listening experience.

True Concentric Conductor Geometry

While Semi-Solid Concentric conductors use fewer, larger strands that maintain their position along the cable length, True-Concentric conductors take this further by spiraling each successive layer of strands in the opposite direction to the one beneath it. This arrangement increases contact pressure at precise points rather than along contact lines, significantly reducing overall strand interaction distortion.

ZERO-Tech for Uncompressed Current Transfer

Many AC power cables offer low DC resistance to handle high current demands, but a cable’s characteristic impedance is also crucial for optimal performance. Unlike most AC cables that restrict or compress audio transients, AudioQuest AC cables combine low DC resistance with zero characteristic impedance to deliver uncompressed high-current transients on demand.

RF/ND-Tech

AC ground wires protect against electrical shorts but also act as antennas, picking up induced radio-frequency (RF) noise. This RF noise bypasses component power supplies and often couples directly into a system’s most sensitive audio/video circuits. AudioQuest’s RF/ND-Tech greatly reduces this distortion, providing unprecedented noise dissipation across the widest range of radio frequencies possible.
