AudioQuest NRG Hurricane High-Current AC Power Cable
Best high-current power upgrade for demanding amplifiers and audio components.
The AudioQuest Hurricane High-Current AC cable is engineered for high-variable current components, including power amplifiers, AV receivers, and powered speakers. It features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors to prevent strand interaction and minimize distortion, ensuring greater clarity. The ZERO-Tech design handles current transient peaks effectively, making it suitable for power conditioners and regenerators. Additionally, RF/ND-Tech technology cancels induced RF noise by bypassing component power supplies, while the 72v Dielectric-Bias System minimizes dielectric noise and linearizes filters for improved RF noise dissipation. Directionality is also optimized for superior sound quality.

Know before you buy
This cable is specifically engineered for high-current components that experience significant power fluctuations. It is an ideal choice for power amplifiers, AV receivers, and powered speakers that require a steady, high-capacity current flow.
By using solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors, the cable eliminates strand interaction, which is a common source of distortion in standard stranded cables. This results in a cleaner, more transparent signal path for your audio components.
The DBS creates a stable electrostatic field that saturates the cable's insulation. This minimizes dielectric noise and linearizes the filter, which helps the cable dissipate RF noise more effectively for a quieter background.
Yes, all AudioQuest power cables are optimized for directionality. The internal metal grain structure is controlled to ensure that induced RF noise is drained away from the most sensitive parts of your audio circuit, providing a superior listening experience.
Absolutely. The Hurricane’s ZERO-Tech design is specifically built to handle high current transient peaks, making it an excellent match for power conditioners and regenerators that need to supply clean, unrestricted power to your system.
This cable is 3.0 feet in length and features standard IEC C13 connectors on both ends. It is built with an 11 AWG gauge for the line and neutral wires and a 12 AWG gauge for the ground.
