ISOTEK EVO3 Elite power cord (SCHUKO) C15 or C19 – For high-end audio components such as medium-sized power amplifiers, CD players, DACs, preamplifiers, tuners, Blu-ray players, music servers and much more
Standard length: 2m
IsoTek’s EVO3 Elite is a true high-end power cord with a unique 7-strand geometry, purest copper and hi-tech dielectrics for outstanding transmission quality. Double shielding with an actively integrated copper braid keeps high-frequency and electromagnetic interference away. It is the ideal upgrade for source devices such as CD players, music servers, D/A converters or preamplifiers. The Elite is also a very good choice for small to medium-sized power amplifiers; we only recommend the EVO3 Optimum for very large power amplifiers.
CONSTRUCTION: The conductors run parallel and are slightly twisted. This established technique has proven to be an effective shield against high-frequency and electromagnetic interference.
A) Conductors: Silver plated 99.9999% OFC conductors offer an exceptional level of purity with improved conductivity. They are less likely to break or deteriorate over time. Silver is an excellent conductor and when combined with high purity copper offers impressive electrical properties.
B) Dielectric: The Teflon FEP dielectric (insulation) is chemically inert and has a very low dielectric constant over a wide frequency range. FEP has a very high resistance to stress cracking and a low coefficient of friction, making it an exceptional dielectric. FEP is the number one choice for safety in both temperature and electrical insulation.
C) Inlay: A cotton inlay was used to give the cable internal strength and reduce microphonics. Cotton also has excellent dielectric properties.
D) Envelope: A mylar overwrap is used to secure the structure and provide a protective shield prior to the application of a flexible PVC jacket. The addition of mylar and cotton forms a buffer with the PVC to maintain exceptional dielectric properties.
E) Shielding: Grounded OFC shielding ensures maximum RFI suppression, preventing common mode interference affecting the live and neutral conductors.
F) Jacket: PVC is used as outer jacket to ensure high level of flexibility and mechanical strength.
PLUG: The Elite cable is terminated with IsoTek’s audiophile-grade 24k gold-plated 99.98% copper plugs.
