The New Standard
A "Clean Sheet" Approach To Design A Power Cord Expressly For Audio
"Stock" Power Cords Cause Distortion
That cheap, thin-gauge power cord that came with your audio component is literally choking your sound causing problems you probably think are in the signal:
- Compressed Dynamic Range
- Thin, One-Dimensional Tone
- Attenuated or Sluggish Bass Response
- Hiss, Buzz and Noisy Backgrounds
- Blurred Stereo Imaging
- Ear Fatigue
You've been living with compromised sound for so long, unaware that your tone could be significantly better without changing the component - until now.
Welcome To The Next Level Of TONE!
Finally, an essential accessory has received long overdue attention. Introducing MusicCord, the first truly innovative a/c power cords specifically designed to enhance audio/video performance, from the live event, through recording, mixing, mastering, post-production, and playback.
- Increased Dynamics, Volume & Headroom
- Improved Clarity, Natural Warmth & Transient Speed
- Reject RFI and EMI For Greater Resolution & Lower Noise
- Eliminates Hum Noise Caused By Fluorescent Light Ballast
With MusicCord, transients are crisp and clean. Ear-fatiguing midrange harshness is eliminated. Stereo imaging including soundstage positioning and spatial cues are clearly revealed. Overall the sound is more coherent. While individual instruments and voices are more apparent, they sound more a part of a musical whole.
Features
Patented Cable Design
Multiple small-gauge conductors connected in parallel combine speed and phase performance with high current capacity. Oversized ground conductor and maximum coverage shielding afford lower noise levels.
- Multiple Line & Neutral Conductors for transient speed, phase performance and current capacity
- Oversized Ground Conductor improves maintaining system ground
- Inner jacket spaces shield away from current carrying conductors
- Maximum-coverage braided copper shield rejects RFI for lower noise
- Outer jacket for superior protection
- Woven polyester sleeving for added abrasion resistance
Road Worthy Build Quality
We combine hand craftsmanship with mass-production techinques for optimal performance. With reinforcement ring and molded strain relief, our terminations will never loosen and cause a "buzz" noise or discontinuity.
- Solid Brass Terminals resist bending
- Hand-Soldered Terminations for long-term reliability
- Reinforcement Rings (blue) isolate terminations from cable stresses
- Molded Strain Reliefs distribute bending stresses
- Meets Hospital-Grade Standards for mechanical integrity
- "Hi-Pot" Tested to assure insulation integrity
Uses
Designed to be a de facto standard, MusicCord can be used with any audio/video component.
Pro Audio
With so many components, where does one start?
Working with studio owners/managers, an application priority has emerged:
"1-A" Priority Component Applications:
These components have a direct impact upon the sound quality of every recording/mix you make.
- Audio Interface
- A/D-D/A Converters
- Microphone Pre-Amps
- Summing/Mixing Console
- Master Digital Clock
"1-B" Priority Component Applications:
Using MusicCord with the following components can be as impactful to the end result as those in the 1-A priority grouping. For example, using MusicCord with studio monitors does not directly impact recording quality, but will allow you to hear more detail and resolution, and make better decisions. Other components improve the input sound quality of instruments or vocals being recorded.
- Studio Monitors
- Outboard Gear (Equalizers, Compressors, etc.)
- Instrument Amplifiers
- Active Direct Box (DI)
- Microphone Power Supply
- Recording Computer
Using a single MusicCord with a multi-slot 500-series power supply will give you a lot of bang for the buck!
Guitar & Bass Amplifiers
MusicCord Guitar & Bass Rig Applications
MusicCord was concieved with the touring musician in mind! It will make a greater performance difference than any other cable. MusicCord affords the following performance benefits:
- Fuller "Fat" Tone With Natural Warmth
- Improved Dynamics and Transient Speed
- More Extended, Tighter Bass
- Greater Clarity
- More Volume & Headroom
- Lower Noise
MusicCord was designed to be the ultimate guitar amplifier power cord! Since its introduction, we've received feedback from literally thousands of guitar and bass players about the performance benefits and how they use MusicCord:
Top Priority Component Applications:
- Power Amplifier
- Pre-Amplifier
- Active Direct Box (DI)
- Pedalboard for Effects Pedals
- Loopers
- Rack-Mounted Effects Modules
Ancillary Components:
- Midi Controller
- Graphic Equalizers
- Compressors
- Microphone Pre-amps
- Multi-Guitar Distribution Device
Early on we learned that power cords pick up interference from fluorescent lighting ballast that causes hum noise. MusicCord's patented shielded cable design eliminates this and many other causes of background noises.
