Design Challenges

The importance of power cabling in audio systems is often underestimated.


There are various factors to consider when choosing a power cable, with the most important being it’s voltage and current carrying capacity over the required length. A cable with low amperage typically doesn't meet the requirements for a class A or A/B amplifier.


Designers often misunderstand the ground conductor's importance on a power cable, and a lower-quality conductor is frequently inserted. 


However, transmission engineers recognize that addressing these and other issues is critical to achieving an effective and reliable power delivery solution.

Solution

The XerXes Reference power cord is an engineered solution, employing three identical conductors for complete symmetry.


Amplifiers and line-level components can not distinguish music from noise. To reduce noise injected from the power circuit, our Reference cables include the proprietary RJ420 noise dissipation network, which is passive and parasitic to noise. Simply put, it reduces the total noise entering the signal circuit from power supplies without disrupting voltage and current flow.


Our clients' most praised benefit is the immediate discernment of increased low-level detail, imaging, gravitas, and velocity of their system.
