Premium AC Power Cable with Long-Grain Copper Conductors
The AudioQuest NRG-X3 power cable delivers clean, reliable AC power to your audio and video components. Featuring Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors and direction-controlled design, this cable minimizes noise and ensures optimal power delivery for improved system performance. The NRG-X3 represents AudioQuest's commitment to clean power delivery at an accessible price point.
Your audio and video components are only as good as the power they receive. AC line noise, RF interference, and poor connections can all degrade system performance. The NRG-X3 addresses these issues through superior conductor materials, optimized geometry, and precision manufacturing, resulting in cleaner power delivery that translates to improved dynamics, lower noise floor, and better overall system performance.

The NRG-X3 incorporates several of AudioQuest's key power cable technologies:
Long-Grain Copper offers superior performance to standard OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper by reducing distortion caused by grain boundaries. Traditional copper has many grain boundaries where the crystalline structure changes direction, creating impedance variations. LGC has far fewer grain boundaries, resulting in smoother signal transmission and reduced distortion.
All AudioQuest AC cables feature direction-controlled conductors. During manufacturing, the conductors are controlled for the correct low-impedance direction, which reduces RF noise. The metal used in conductors has a non-symmetrical grain structure, and controlling the directionality ensures optimal performance. This attention to detail ensures that your components receive the cleanest possible AC power.
The semi-solid concentric conductor geometry optimizes current transfer while maintaining flexibility. This design reduces skin-effect distortion and ensures efficient power delivery across the full frequency spectrum.
Unlike soldered connections, cold-welded terminations create a superior mechanical and electrical connection without introducing thermal distortion. This results in lower resistance and better long-term reliability.
The NRG-X3 is ideal for powering a wide range of audio and video components with standard IEC C13 power inlets:
Note: The IEC C13 connector is the standard 3-prong inlet found on most consumer and professional audio/video equipment. Verify your component's power inlet type before ordering.
Many audio enthusiasts underestimate the importance of AC power quality. The power cable is the first link in your component's signal chain, and any noise or distortion introduced at this stage affects everything downstream. Common AC power issues include:
The NRG-X3 addresses all these issues through superior materials, optimized design, and precision manufacturing. The result is measurably cleaner power delivery that allows your components to perform at their best.
Installing the NRG-X3 is straightforward:
Tip: For best results, use AudioQuest NRG cables throughout your system for consistent power delivery to all components.
