AudioQuest NRG-Y2 Power Cable

The NRG-Y2 uses a 2-prong IEC C7 connector, making it ideal for audio and video components that do not require a ground pin, such as many soundbars, streaming devices, and smaller amplifiers.

Standard power cords are often basic and susceptible to interference. The NRG-Y2 uses direction-controlled Long-Grain Copper conductors and a silver-plated shield to drain RF noise, which helps reduce distortion and allows your equipment to deliver a cleaner, more dynamic signal.

The 17 AWG gauge is rated for a maximum of 2.5 Amps at 120VAC. It is perfectly suited for the components it is designed to power, ensuring efficient current delivery without the compression that can occur with thinner, lower-quality stock cables.

Zero-Tech refers to the cable's design architecture, which is engineered to prevent characteristic impedance from compressing transients. In practical terms, this means your audio equipment can draw power more freely during sudden, high-energy musical peaks, resulting in a more open and responsive sound.

Yes, the conductors are direction-controlled to optimize noise dissipation. You should ensure the cable is oriented so that the signal flows in the direction indicated by the arrows on the cable jacket for the best performance.
