MusicCord ES Power Cord

For Those Who Want MORE MusicCord "ES" Pushes The Performance Envelope

Choose MusicCord ES For More Resolution In Studio and Home Applications

After establishing MusicCord as the new standard for professional audio applications, elevating the power cord from a commodity to a component, we could have rested on our laurels. But we were not satisfied. Our own Reference series components are THE benchmark for excellence. But to achieve Reference level refined performance requires costly and proprietary processes that do not lend themselves to mass production techniques. Still we asked, "How can we improve MusicCord to narrow the performance gap?" The result of our efforts is MusicCord ES.

MusicCord ES improves upon the standard version by delivering greater resolution for more precise imaging and spatial qualities, and overall refinement. Your pro-audio system will be able to clearly reveal details of the mix to enable better decision making in less time. When used with components in the recording chain, MusicCord ES directly impacts recording quality. Mastering engineers will especially appreciate these sound quality improvements.

For the audio enthusiast, your home audio or home theater system will realize a new level of performance allowing it to communicate more of the emotional in playing your music collection, moving you a step closer to hearing exactly what the recording engineer intended.

"How did we do it?" you ask. What affords MusicCord ES it's ability to deliver improved resolution and refinement over the standard MusicCord?

Incorporating Reference Features:

    •    Proprietary Plug Termination Processing.
Before the plug pin terminals are used in process, we apply a process that removes surface impurities including any platings, and smooths the surface of the terminal. Each terminal pin has to be processed individually. The result is elimination of oxides and impurities, and more intimate contact with the mating conductors. This eliminates audible distortions and coloration., and contributes to the overall improvement in resolution.

    •    Deep Cryogenic Treatment To -300o F.
Cryogenic treatment is a process of slowly lowering the temperature of materials to -300o F, then gradually raising the temperature back to room conditions. Cryogenic processing alters materials at a molecular level. This permanent, irreversible process releases residual stresses, and alleviates the negative effects of crystalline grain boundaries in copper and brass. Cryogenic treatment effects a measurable reduction in the cord's resistively for improved current flow. The result is less distortion, which impacts all performance attributes, but particularly resolution.

Features
 
Patented Cable Design
Multiple small-gauge conductors connected in parallel combine speed and phase performance with high current capacity. Oversized ground conductor and maximum coverage shielding afford lower noise levels.

    •    Multiple Line & Neutral Conductors for transient speed, phase performance and current capacity
    •    Oversized Ground Conductor improves maintaining system ground
    •    Inner jacket spaces shield away from current carrying conductors
    •    Maximum-coverage braided copper shield for quiet backgrounds and eliminate hum noise caused by fluorescent light ballast
    •    Outer jacket for superior protection
    •    Woven polyester sleeving for added abrasion resistance

Road Worthy Build Quality
We combine hand craftsmanship with mass-production techniques for for optimal performance. With reinforcement ring and molded strain relief, our terminations will never loosen and cause a "buzz" noise or discontinuity.
    •    Solid Brass Terminals resist bending
    •    Hand-Soldered Terminations for long-term reliability
    •    Reinforcement Rings (blue) isolate terminations from cable stresses
    •    Molded Strain Reliefs distribute bending stresses
    •    Meets Hospital-Grade Standards for mechanical integrity
    •    "Hi-Pot" Tested to assure insulation integrity
