AudioQuest Hurricane Constant-Current Cable
Best power upgrade for high-end audio and video source components.
The AudioQuest Hurricane Constant-Current (Source) Power Cable is engineered for audio and video source components with a fixed current draw. It features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors to prevent strand interaction and minimize distortion, ensuring greater clarity. The ZERO-Tech design provides uncompressed current transfer with zero characteristic impedance, allowing for high-current transients on demand. Additionally, RF/ND-Tech actively cancels induced RF noise by using a common-mode phase-cancelling array, significantly reducing distortion across a wide frequency range. The 72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) further minimizes dielectric noise and linearizes filtering for improved noise dissipation.

Know before you buy
This cable is specifically engineered for source components like DACs, CD players, and streamers that maintain a relatively steady power draw. Unlike power amplifiers that require massive, fluctuating current, this cable is optimized to provide clean, stable power to sensitive source equipment.
No, this specific version of the Hurricane cable is designed for constant-current source components. For power amplifiers, which require high-current transients, you should look for the High-Current version of the AudioQuest Hurricane.
The DBS creates a stable electrostatic field that saturates the cable's insulation. This minimizes dielectric noise and energy storage, which helps the cable deliver a cleaner, more detailed signal by reducing time-smear and distortion.
RF/ND-Tech uses a common-mode phase-cancelling array to actively neutralize induced radio-frequency noise. By cancelling this interference before it reaches your equipment, it ensures a lower noise floor and improved clarity in your audio playback.
Yes, the Hurricane cable features directionality control. You should look for the arrows printed on the cable or connectors, which indicate the direction of signal flow from the wall outlet to your component to ensure optimal noise drainage.
Solid conductors eliminate the electrical and magnetic interaction between strands, which is a primary source of distortion in standard cables. The PSC+ material provides an exceptionally smooth surface, allowing for a cleaner, more refined signal transfer.
