In our nine-year history we've made a number of "clean energy" products, but one thing we hadn't made was a specialized IEC power cable for home audio components - until now!
The Nova is a specialized power cable with high-end construction that belies its affordable price. It offers a huge improvement over standard power cables, giving your sound greater clarity, space and definition.
The Nova features five conductors, each made from heavy gauge OFHC (Oxygen Free High Thermal Conductivity) copper, arranged in a balanced geometric configuration, something very unusual at this price point.
Two pairs of hot and neutral conductors are arranged on either side of the ground conductor, which is located in the center of the cable. On each side of the ground conductor is another pair of air dielectric liners - essentially air-filled polymer matrix tubes - that keep the two pairs of live and neutral conductors separated, while improving the overall dielectric performance of the cable and its constructive solidity.
The cable is finished with a tough yet flexible polymer outer jacket and audiophile-grade connectors custom made by iFi, with 24K gold-plated oxygen-free copper conductors.
As mentioned, the Nova features five conductors, each made from heavy gauge OFHC (oxygen-free high thermal conductivity) copper, arranged in a geometrically balanced configuration.
Two pairs of live and neutral conductors are arranged on either side of the ground conductor, which is located in the center of the cable. The ground conductor is arranged in a shotgun configuration and not twisted like other network cables. The live and neutral conductors are arranged in a truly balanced configuration, so their magnetic fields cancel each other out perfectly.
As a result, there is no residual magnetic field applied to the central ground conductor, and there is no unwanted induced voltage in the ground conductor - we call this design Zero Ground.
The result of this sophisticated blend of materials and construction is that the Nova power cable offers consistent impedance and superior EMI/RFI rejection, maintaining the purity of the mains electricity that powers each component of an audio or AV system. .
Although the effect of this cable on sound quality is significant when used on its own, it combines brilliantly with our PowerStation mains conditioning bar: the PowerStation filters out common-mode and differential-mode noise from the mains , while the Nova maintains optimal purity down to the connected component.
Our Ground Zero design ensures that the cable's ground conductor is not affected by residual magnetism or unwanted induced voltage.
The constant impedance design helps maintain the purity of the mains electricity flowing to each piece of equipment in an audio system or AV setup.
This is a truly balanced power cable.
The use of geometrically balanced pairs means that the magnetic fields caused by the live and neutral conductors cancel each other perfectly. This is a key component in the design of Ground Zero.
The cable design incorporates concurrent shielding for the individual power lines and therefore creates a cable that offers constant impedance, is superbly isolated from EMI/RFI and powers your audio or AV system with clean electricity to enhance sound and performance.
Circular double helix feed line design with air dielectric liners. This braided configuration further helps reject RFI/EMI.
