Pangea Audio AC 9 MKII Power Cable (1.5 Meter)

AC 9 MKII Power Cable (1.5 Meter) Designed specifically to deliver the high-current power needed by audio amplifiers, powered subwoofers, and powerline conditioners No-compromise Cardas Grade One Copper and 99.99% purity OFC conductors for maximum conductivity DeathGrip IEC with massive gold-plated contacts which provide solid, secure grip on component’s IEC 7-AWG construction for optimized high-current power delivery 5-way multi-gauge geometry for optimized 50/60 hz AC power Counter-spiraled conductors for superior noise rejection Double-shielded for optimized high-current noise isolation 24k gold-plated contacts for superior electrical contact Special two-shot molded connector bodies protect vital AC connections for maximum current delivery and long life Upgraded Power Cable Specifically Designed for High-Current Components Pangea Audio’s AC-9 high current power cable has been one of their bestsellers for years. And now this high performance, affordable cable gets a nice performance boost with the AC-9 MkII version, thanks to the addition of premium Cardas Grade One Copper. It’s the affordable AC power cable of choice, for hi-fi and home theater amplifiers, powered subwoofers, and other high current AV components. Despite its name, the AC-9 MkII isn’t, in fact, a nine-gauge cable. It’s actually a seven-gauge cable, which means it’s even heftier than the nine-gauge! (The lower the gauge, the thicker the cable.) This difference is especially noticeable in the bass, where the AC-9 MkII outperforms power cables costing many times more. Quite Simply the Best Copper on the Planet The original version of AC-9 used 99.99% purity OFC copper conductors. The new MkII version goes a substantial step further, upgrading to a combination of OFC copper and no-compromise Cardas Grade One Copper, which George Cardas of Cardas Audio developed for his own premium cables. The combination of Cardas Grade One Copper and OFC copper conductors makes the AC-9 MkII an amazing component for the money, outperforming audiophile power cables that cost far more. So throw away the cheap, stock AC power cable that came with your AV component and make the easy, affordable upgrade to AC-9 MkII. It will bring out the best in your system. Specifically Designed for High-current Gear The AC-9 MkII has been designed specifically to deliver the high current needed by mono, stereo, and integrated power amplifiers. It’s also ideal for powered subwoofers and makes a great choice for use with high-current-demanding line conditioners. Its combination of superior materials, advanced geometry, and noise-fighting shielding enhances the performance of connected components. Because of their high-current requirements, power amps benefit from heavier gauge conductors than normal power cords offer. Although the AC-9 MkII uses large-diameter conductors, it requires less shielding than power cables that are designed for use with source components. Therefore, the AC-9 MkII offers greater flexibility than other heavy-duty power cables. That makes it kinder to your gear and easier to work with. Superior Noise Rejection The AC-9 MkII boasts conductors made from Cardas Grade One Copper and 99.99% purity OFC copper conductors for maximum conductivity. Its 7-AWG construction facilitates high-current power delivery, while its five-way multi-gauge geometry optimizes 50/60 Hz AC power. Counter-spiraled conductors offer superior noise rejection. Double-shielded provides high-current noise isolation. The 24k gold-plated contacts offer superior electrical contact. Special two-shot molded connector bodies protect vital AC connections from oxidation and corrosion for long life. DeathGrip IEC One weak link in the power chain that is often overlooked is the IEC connector. They had found a good one for their Pangea cables. It had large contacts and gripped firmly. Then Jay Victor discovered another IEC connector with massive gold-plated contacts that gripped a component’s IEC better than anything he had ever seen. “It’s like a death grip,” reported Jay. “We need to use it on our high-end cables.” They agreed with Jay, and the DeathGrip IEC was born. Note: Each Pangea cable is individually handmade to strict design specifications
