AudioQuest NRG-Z3 Zero-Tech Low-Noise 3-Pole AC Power Cable 1M
Overview
Every component in a system runs on AC power, and the cable that delivers it can bring RF noise along with the current. The AudioQuest NRG-Z3 Power Cable is a 3-pole AC cable with an IEC C13 connector for DACs, powered desktop speakers, game consoles, streamers, and other components.
Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries and surface discontinuities, in a Semi-Solid Concentric topology that reduces strand interaction. ZERO-Tech combines low DC resistance with zero characteristic impedance to deliver uncompressed transients on demand.
RF/ND-Tech uses a patented common-mode phase-cancelling array to reduce the RF noise a ground wire picks up, which would otherwise bypass a component's power supply. Direction-controlled, silver-plated drain wires carry shield noise to ground through the third pin.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
Plug the power cable into a power conditioner or a clean wall outlet, and keep it apart from your signal cables where you can rather than bundling them together. Choose a length that reaches without stretching or coiling a large surplus behind the rack.

Why the AudioQuest NRG-Z3 Power Cable Stands Out
Perfect-Surface Copper+
Smooth, pure Perfect-Surface processed conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries and surface discontinuities.
ZERO-Tech
Combines low DC resistance with zero characteristic impedance to deliver uncompressed transients on demand.
RF/ND-Tech
A patented common-mode phase-cancelling array with proprietary dielectric materials reduces RF noise picked up by the ground wire.
Silver-Plated Drain Wires
Direction-controlled silver-plated shield conductors drain RF noise from the line and neutral shields to ground through the third pin.
Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors
Strands are packed tightly and never change position in the bundle, significantly reducing strand-interaction distortion.
Direction-Controlled Conductors
Conductors are controlled for RF-noise directionality so induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.
Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The Desktop Listener: Powers a DAC or powered speakers from a desk or computer setup.
- The Home Theatre Owner: Powers a streamer, game console, or source component in an AV system.
- The System Builder: Wants consistent AudioQuest power and signal cabling through a system.
How It Compares
NRG-Z3 is the most advanced of the three NRG 3-pole cables here. Compared with NRG-Y3, it moves from Long-Grain Copper to Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors and adds RF/ND-Tech.
