Audioquest Tornado 72V DBS C15 (high current) 2m

Audioquest Tornado 72V DBS Variable Current (High Current) Power Cables

The AudioQuest Tornado 72V DBS C15 power cable is a premium cable designed to enhance the performance of high-fidelity audio systems. This cable is part of AudioQuest’s prestigious Storm Series and is engineered to provide uncompromising power delivery to audio components requiring high and variable current.

Construction and Materials

The Tornado HC features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) and Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors. These materials are chosen for their superior conductivity and minimal grain boundaries, which reduce distortion and improve signal clarity. The conductors are arranged in a counter-spiral geometry, which helps minimize noise and preserve the purity of the electrical current.

The cable incorporates AudioQuest’s patented Ground-Noise Dissipation technology. This technology is designed to reduce noise that can be introduced into the ground plane, a common issue that can affect the overall sound quality of audio systems.

Dielectric Bias System

A remarkable feature of the Tornado HC is the 72V Dielectric Bias System (DBS). This system maintains a constant charge on the insulation, significantly reducing noise caused by the dielectric itself. The DBS pack is equipped with a radio frequency trap to prevent the buildup of RF noise, ensuring the cable maintains a noise-free dielectric state.

Compatibility and Usage

The Tornado HC is optimized for source components and is not recommended for use with power amplifiers, active subwoofers, or other high-powered devices. Instead, it is ideally suited for AC power conditioners, power regenerators, AC isolation transformers, and similar equipment that benefits from a stable, clean power supply.
