Wireworld Introduces New 52-Series Power Conditioning Cords (19/1/2006)

Wireworld audio has introduced five new models in its premium line of power cords for audio and home theater components, including the completely new top-of-the-line Gold Electra 52. All of the new cords feature a unique flat geometry that exploits inductive and capacitive filtering effects to minimize unwanted power line noise and harmonics, leading to improvements in the imaging, dynamic range, and resolution of audio and video electronic components.

A good power cord is designed to solve a very different set of problems than an audio or video cable. The design goal of an audio or video cable is to pass the entire frequency range with the minimum possible alteration. Power cords, however, should ideally pass only the 50Hz or 60Hz AC power signal, while attenuating other frequencies to prevent power line noise and harmonics from contaminating delicate audio and video signals.

"Our 52 series power cords' unique flat shape is a reflection of their innovative structural design, where the conductors are formed in a spiral coil arrangement that increases inductance," comments Wireworld President David Salz. "We also employ a sophisticated composite insulation that absorbs far more high frequency energy than conventional single-material insulation. The overall effect is that these cords do a significantly better job of removing electrical resonances and power line noise, whether used in conjunction with power conditioning electronics or straight out of the wall."

The cords' two low-impedance copper shields are closely-coupled to each of the conductors , which maximizes capacitive filtering while creating phase cancellation of differential mode noise. This unique configuration allows the52 power cords to absorb the problematic low frequency harmonics that other cords and power conditioners simply cannot adequately remove.

All models are currently available through Wireworld dealers in lengths of 2 and 3 meters.

The Stratus 52 employs oxygen-free copper conductors and brass contacts. It is currently available at a suggested retail price of $99.95 for a standard 2 meter length.

The Aurora 52 uses silver-clad oxygen-free copper conductors and brass contacts. It is currently available at a suggested retail price of $179.95 for a standard 2 meter length.

The Electra 52 employs Ohno Continuous Cast (OCC) copper conductors, and silver-clad brass contacts. It is currently available at a suggested retail price of $359.95 for a standard 2 meter length.

The Silver Electra 52 employs OCC silver-clad copper conductors, and silver-clad brass contacts. It is currently available at a suggested retail price of $699.95 for a standard 2 meter length.

The top of the line Gold Electra 52 power cord features OCC solid silver conductors, and silver-clad brass contacts for optimal signal transfer. It is currently available at a suggested retail price of $1999.95 for a standard 2 meter length.
