AudioQuest Mistral Power Cable

AudioQuest Mistral Power CableUpgrade a wide range of audio video components, constant and variable current alike, with AudioQuests Mistral Bulk AC power cable. Mistral features True Concentric Perfect Surface Copper+ (PSC+) and Long Grain Copper (LGC) conductors that have been carefully controlled for directionality to efficiently drain RF noise. The addition of RF ND Tech minimizes circuit misbehavior by cancelling induced RF noise for quiet backgrounds and thrilling dynamics.

Upgrade a wide range of audio/video components, constant- and variable-current alike, with AudioQuest’s Mistral Bulk AC power cable. Mistral features True Concentric Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) and Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors that have been carefully controlled for directionality to efficiently drain RF noise. The addition of RF/ND-Tech minimizes circuit misbehavior by cancelling induced RF noise for quiet backgrounds and thrilling dynamics.

FEATURES:

High-Purity True-Concentric PSC+ and LGC Conductors

• With only Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) on the outside, Monsoon’s conductors are essentially all PSC+ even though the conductor core is Long-Grain Copper (LGC). Both superior metal and conductor geometry greatly reduce ear-fatiguing Transient Intermodulation (TIM) Distortion.

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.

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.
