Uncompressed High-Current Transfer: With current capacity of 20 amps, Hurricane High-Current can withstand current transient peaks many times its continuous RMS rating. This makes Hurricane High-Current ideally suited for a wide assortment of AC power conditioners, power regenerators, AC isolation transformers, and AC battery back-up devices, as well as any power amplifier, powered subwoofer, powered loudspeaker, powered receiver, or integrated amplifier.
High-Purity Conductors: High-purity Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of ear-fatiguing transient intermodulation distortion. The astonishingly smooth and pure PSC+ further eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other premium coppers.
Solid 100% Perfect-Surface Silver RF-Drain Metal: Direction-controlled 100% PSS RF Drains maximize the dissipation of RF noise from the line and neutral shields to ground via the third "ground" pin. The net result is powerful, dynamic, and immersive.
ZERO-Tech for Uncompressed Current Transfer: While many AC power cables feature low DC resistance in order to accommodate the demand for high current, a cable's characteristic impedance is also crucial for optimal performance. Unlike most AC cables that constrict or compress an audio-provoked transient, AudioQuest AC cables combine low DC resistance and zero (no) characteristic impedance in order to deliver uncompressed transients on demand.
RF/ND-Tech: Greatly reduces the distortion caused by induced RF noise, yielding unprecedented levels of noise dissipation across the widest bandwidth (range) of radio frequencies possible. AudioQuest's unique circuit topology uses a common-mode phase-cancelling array, in concert with proprietary dielectric materials which provide additional differential linear filtering.
72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS): AudioQuest's patented DBS creates an electrostatic field that molecularly optimizes the cable's insulation (dielectric). This minimizes distortion by increasing the dielectric's efficiency at high frequency, resulting in clearer sound emerging from a “blacker” background. The inclusion of an RF Trap (a proprietary technology developed for AudioQuest's Niagara Series of power products), further reduces induced radio-frequency noise.
Hanging-Silver over Red and Beryllium Copper Plugs: AudioQuest's best AC plugs enable even lower distortion and better dissipation of high-frequency noise than the high-quality molded plugs used for the Wind Series' models.
Direction-Controlled Conductors: 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. A fundamental aspect of AudioQuest's multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology, Direction-Controlled Conductors ensure induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.
