Even the most sophisticated filters and power supplies cannot eliminate this transient intermodulation distortion (TIM) because the induced RF noise modulates the low-level audio\/video signal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">THE SOLUTION: NRG-Z3 cables use directional Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) strands in a 7-strand semi-solid concentric conductor arrangement where the strands are packed more densely and never change position within the bundle. This design significantly reduces strand interaction distortion. The PSC conductors with extremely pure and smooth surface minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries present in every metal conductor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">The NRG-Z3&#8217;s GND (Ground Noise Dissipation) and directional silver-plated shield conductors efficiently dissipate RF interference from the line and neutral shields to ground via the third &#8220;Ground&#8221; pin. Over and beyond. The NRG-Z3&#8217;s common mode phase cancellation arrangement provides additional differential linear filtering. The result is powerful, dynamic and immersive!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 product-specification ng-scope\" data-ng-repeat-start=\"feature in product.features\">\n<div class=\"feature-content\">\n<h5 class=\"ng-binding ng-scope\" data-ng-if=\"feature.title\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>LADDER MADE OF PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER (PSC)<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"ng-binding\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">The amazingly smooth and pure conductors manufactured using the Perfect Surface process reduce the distortions that arise due to the grain boundaries and irregular surface in any metal conductor.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 product-specification ng-scope\" data-ng-repeat-start=\"feature in product.features\">\n<div class=\"feature-content\">\n<h5 class=\"ng-binding ng-scope\" data-ng-if=\"feature.title\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>GROUND NOISE DISSIPATION TECHNOLOGY<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"ng-binding\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Ground conductors on power cords provide protection from the deficiencies of power wiring, but they also function as antennas. Therefore, they are subject to the influence of high frequency noise (HF). This RF noise bypasses the component power supplies and is typically routed directly to a system&#8217;s most sensitive AV circuitry. AudioQuest&#8217;s patented Ground-Noise Dissipation greatly reduces distortion and delivers unprecedented levels of noise dissipation over the widest possible high frequency bandwidth. Our unique circuit topology utilizes a common mode phase cancellation arrangement coupled with proprietary dielectric materials to provide additional linear differential filtering.
