Audioquest Hurricane 72V DBS HC IEC-C19 2m

High-Current (Variable) Audioquest Hurricane 72V DBS HC Power Cable (IEC-C19)

The Audioquest Hurricane 72V DBS HC (IEC-C19) power cable represents the pinnacle of technology in premium power cables. Designed to deliver exceptional audio performance, this cable combines high-quality materials with innovative technologies to optimize the power supply for your high-end audio equipment.

Revolutionary Design for Optimal Performance

The Hurricane 72V DBS HC stands out with its unique design. Each conductor (live, neutral, and ground) is individually constructed and then braided together, forming a robust and efficient cable. This structure significantly reduces electromagnetic interference and RF noise, resulting in minimal distortion and enhanced sound clarity.

The conductors are made from Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+), a high-purity material offering exceptional conductivity. The substantial conductor cross-sections (4.17 mm² for live and neutral, 3.31 mm² for ground) ensure optimal current transfer, particularly beneficial for power-hungry devices like power amplifiers.

DBS Technology: Innovation for Superior Sound Quality

One of the standout features of the Hurricane is its 72V Dielectric-Bias System (DBS). This patented Audioquest technology applies a constant voltage to the dielectric surrounding the conductors. This process eliminates the negative effects of electrostatic charges that can accumulate in the dielectric, ensuring consistent cable performance from the very first use and throughout its lifespan.

The DBS is paired with an RF noise trap, ensuring that radio frequency interference is not induced into the conductors. This technological combination provides maximum protection against noise, contributing to a quieter background and more precise musical detail reproduction.

Revolutionary Ground Noise Dissipation

The Hurricane incorporates Audioquest’s patented Ground Noise-Dissipation technology. This innovative system uses a common-mode phase-cancellation network, combined with proprietary dielectric materials, to effectively filter a wide range of parasitic frequencies. This technology significantly reduces RF noise picked up by the ground wire, which could otherwise infiltrate the sensitive audio circuits of your devices.

Transformed Sound, Enhanced Listening Experience

Using the Hurricane 72V DBS HC results in significant sonic improvements. Listeners report a noticeable increase in dynamics, with more pronounced contrasts between soft and loud passages. The soundstage expands in width and depth, offering a more precise and three-dimensional stereo image.

Instrumental timbres are rendered with greater delicacy and nuance, while sound textures gain in refinement and naturalness. The Hurricane particularly excels in reproducing micro-details, revealing subtleties previously masked in the recording.

Robust Construction for Maximum Durability

Audioquest has left no stone unturned in the design of the Hurricane. The connectors are silver-plated directly onto pure copper, ensuring optimal contact. The cold-welded process guarantees a solid and durable connection between the conductors and connectors.

The black and blue braided outer jacket not only protects the cable but also gives it an elegant aesthetic that will seamlessly integrate into any high-end audio system.

An Investment for Discerning Audiophiles

While representing a significant investment, the Hurricane 72V DBS HC is aimed at audiophiles seeking sonic perfection. It is particularly recommended for powering high-quality source components, power amplifiers, or premium power conditioners.
