Soundscapes are created by the dynamics in the music. To exploit the full potential of your high-end audio components, you need a reliable power pipeline that provides your components with the power peaks with as little delay and loss as possible. This is where the AC-1205 AIR mains connection cable comes into play.
Our innovative AIR technology has already caused a sensation in the high-end scene and now also forms the architectural basis for the AC-1205 AIR mains cable. Using specially developed clips, the individual conductors are held at fixed distances and insulated from each other by an “air dielectric”. This reduces both capacitive and inductive interference and ensures a smooth flow of energy.
The multicore design of the AC-1205 AIR neutralizes the magnetic interference and magnetic fields generated by current peaks and minimizes the line inductance. In addition, the large number of individual wires reduces the skin effect that occurs at high frequencies. Splitting the current across many cores not only increases the usable conductor cross-section, but also increases the overall cross-section of the cable. The result is a reliable power supply, even in the most demanding passages, which allows your sound system to develop its full potential.
To minimize electromagnetic interference fields, the AIR cables are shielded with a dense braid of tinned copper. This not only protects your audio components, but also neighboring cables from unwanted interference caused by the high current peaks in the power cable.
The in-akustik High End AC-1205 AIR mains cable is an outstanding energy pipeline for perfect audiophile sounds. It eliminates unwanted effects and makes a not insignificant contribution to the most authentic music reproduction possible.
Background
A hi-fi system basically reproduces nothing other than modulated household electricity. Ideally, this should be made available to the components without any further inhibition. However, dynamic music with complex bass runs places an impulsive load on the electronics of the integrated or power amplifiers belonging to a high-end hi-fi system. Here the power cable plays a significant role. The challenge for power cables on audio devices with a high sound quality are extreme current peaks that can generate strong magnetic fields and interference radiation, leading to power losses at line and transition resistances.
These rapidly changing increases and decreases in current must be passed on to the electronic components with as little delay as possible, since a blocked current flow would have a negative effect on the sound. Physics tells us that an electrical conductor has capacitive and inductive characteristics in addition to its resistance, and these disturb the flow of energy between the power socket and the hi-fi device. The goal is always a power supply without any time-lag and with minimum loss, enabling large amounts of energy to be transported in a very short time. Accordingly, the power cable from the wall socket to the hi-fi equipment plays a very important role in the transmission chain.
Perfect sound for audiophiles: Specially designed for connecting up top-notch high-end audio systems, the Referenz AIR power supply cables are based on the already legendary in-akustik AIR technology. Their many special features effectively counteract the undesirable effects encountered while supplying power to high-performance audio components and make supply cables what they should ideally be: superb energy pipelines for perfect high-end sound.
Multicore
The multicore structure leads to an overlap, so compensating for the magnetic fields around the individual cores. This greatly or extremely minimizes the line inductance, depending on the number of cores. In addition, the higher number of individual cores significantly reduces the skin effect caused by steep current flanks at high frequencies. The division into several cores also increases the usable conductor cross-section without the negative effects of thicker cables.
Shielding
Unlike most other power cables, the in-akustik Referenz AIR cables are encased in a dense shielding braid of tinned copper. This protects the hi-fi system from external interference and any nearby cables and audio components from radiating interference fields caused by the high current peaks in the cable. The tinning of the braid also prevents any oxidation of the cable.
Safety
Safety is of the utmost priority to us: However much we focus on high-end sound, safety plays a particularly important role in this cable category. That‘s why every Referenz AIR power cable is tested and inspected extremely carefully. In addition to an exhaustive functional test, each cable is also subjected to an insulation and high-voltage test. The result is recorded and each cable is given an individual serial number; each cable is also certified and complies with and is of course CE-compliant.
