AC12

PS Audio's PerfectWave AC-12 power cable is our finest. It represents the pinnacle of PS Audio power cable construction, geometry, and materials. A massive 8-gauge cable featuring PCOCC, single-crystal copper, the purest form of the metal in the world, for optimal performance. The AC-12 has 4 shields, multiple gauge geometry, and gold plated custom machined connectors. The AC-12 is the finest, most advanced power cable we have ever delivered to our customers. Its low-noise, high-speed design stems from five patents and years of listening tests. You'll instantly hear a new level of refined beauty, tonal correctness, the sense of unlimited power, breathtaking openness, quick transients, greater slam, and a wider and deeper soundstage.

The design philosophy of the PerfectWave AC Series is based on two goals: Reduce noise without magnetic restriction and channel the fundamentals through the conductor's core. Both goals are achieved by leveraging the technology found in five patents that use cable geometry as well as conductor shapes and sizes to achieve remarkable results. AC noise, generated by every electrical appliance in your home, audibly degrades your system's performance. The AC Series takes advantage of a patent involving the increased surface area of the conductor, in close proximity to a specific dielectric, to maximize capacitance and lower noise.

All conductors in the PerfectWave AC Series are spool tested at the factory for directionality and wound into the power cables in the same direction. This attention to detail provides a remarkable coherence and special accuracy to the sound of connected equipment. Connectors are equally important. PerfectWave AC Series connectors are built out of a solid block of high copper content brass, and then polished to remove any surface irregularities. Attaching the conductors to the connectors employs two forms of welding to fuse the conductor to the machined prong, creating a perfect bond.
